As a former teacher, I totally agree that it was hard the first few years because I was trying to bring school in to our home. I’ve changed some things for this coming year and I’m really hoping it goes better and is more relaxed. 😀 Here is to a great year! 📚 🏠
Thanks for sharing! You definitely know what I’m talking about being a former teacher too. 😉 I’ve learned to be more willing to try new things. I hope you have a great year with your kids too!
Thank you so much for this video Emily. It was so encouraging and makes me feel like I can do it. I’m going to try to find a book store near me so I can check out curriculum. I will also look into the books you recommended. Again, thank you!
I'm using the Good & the Beautiful homeschool curriculum for my younger son. They don't have highschool math but their elementary school level stuff is great and Christian oriented, too. We've had great experiences with their math, especially their musical math!
@@queenofthehousehold oh! Awesome! Their musical multiplication tables have been super helpful for my 8-9 year old to really want to practice the memorization that is needed for quick fact drills.. Before I found them we were struggling the same way you described! Way too schooly and forced and he hated it! We had so much fun with learning up until about "2nd grade" when I tried to do the same thing..make it about sitting and doing worksheets with a more traditional style but he had such resistance and no wonder! LOL it is not fun! TGATB helped bring back the fun and get him more interested. So happy to you've experienced similar situations and come to like conclusions 🙏✨ so reassuring. Bless you!
This video just encouraged me to keep it simple this year for my 8 year old. It’s the first year we’re really gonna buckle down on the formal work 😅
Pop off 👏 I like to tell people that i privately educate, and I allow my child to choose his way of learning ❤
So much love to you and your family.
Privately educate, love that! 💕

I had to take the teacher out of me to be a better homeschooling mom.
10000%! Same experience.
It seems to be true for many teachers turned homeschool moms!

So glad you enjoyed it! I hope you like the books too. 😊

So glad you like TGATB! Thank you for sharing your experience. We used them for preschool with my daughter and she loved it.

That’s wonderful! So many times math can be a chore, but I love that you’re making it fun with the music. 😊
Very encouraging video! How old are you kids? Sorry if I missed it 😊
They are 9 and 6. 😊
Amen
