Just want to give a "woohoo" for all Homeschool parents. I homeschooled for 10 years and I look back fondly at those years. Both kids are adults with Masters Degrees and I am so glad that I had extra time with them because we homeschooled. It is worth it!

I received last night the home learning year by year book! So far a big thumbs up! 👍🏼 I am so thankful I saw this video and this book gives me a bit of relief because one of my concerns was how do I know I’m keeping them on track year by year! Looking forward to using this!

Essentials in Writing is a grammar and writing program where they watch a dvd that teaches then and then do a worksheet. I love it and so does my 2nd grader!

I love this! Definitely have to get that book now. I'm learning patience is especially key days I stay more positive it's an easy day. Especially when it comes to questions, I swear I answer and repeat the same things over and over again, but I've learned to just stay positive. Preschool, 3rd, and 5th grade homeschooling mom here. 🤗

Hey I am black and a single parent I let the out negative energy get the best of me my community questioned my girls which is 10 9 8 2 let's see how smart you are ? I pulled my kids out Chicago public school. Pray for my home schooling then I feel bad because my kids are behind like my daughter in 4 grade however she on a school grade level so do I guess I suppose to get the grade level she own or do I get what level she really on and let her work her self up

It's awesome to teach kids how to be self learners! That skill will help them throughout their schooling and life. Try to make sure you don't let your girls hear you say you're terrible at math. They may take on that attitude and it can inhibit their motivation and confidence in math. Just my opinion 🙂 I love your videos and think you should give yourself more credit for how smart you are!!

Could you do a video about why you chose to homeschool? And explaining the benefits you hope to achieve from homeschooling? I know people do it for a multitude of different reasons and was always curious why you chose to. Thank you!

I totally agree about having a subject you don't have to teach. This year I found Drive Thru History by focus on the family. It looks great and something they can just watch! :)

How far in advance did you or do you lesson plan especially when you first began??
@aplacetonest
5 жыл бұрын
I used to plan a week or two in advance but now I don’t lesson plan at all really. We follow the book lesson-by-lesson and I might make notes of things to cover or special activities but other than that, I don’t plan. It saves me so much time and stress from always feeling “behind.”

In what state do you live in? Do you have to go thru the school district to homeschool?
@aplacetonest
7 жыл бұрын
We live in Kentucky. You have to notify the state every year that you intend to homeschool. In our state, you can choose whatever curriculum you want, even for high school. There are some online public school options that are through the state but you don't have to choose to do those if you'd rather pick your own curriculum.
