It's interesting this video came out today, because just this morning I was beginning to let the "did we even accomplish anything" doubts start to creep into my mind. I took a minute to scroll through the pictures on my phone, and within seconds of doing that I realized, yes; we definitely accomplished so much this year. My kids were smiling, learning, and experiencing so many different things this year. Not everything went according to plan, and not every moment was happy-cheery, but overall, I am confident my kids grew this year (and I did, too 😊). I needed the reminder, and I appreciate your reflection as well.

I'm always surprised when something works great one year and then just doesn't the next. I shouldn't be, but I am :). Excited to hear about your summer co-op class. What were your favorite read alouds for this year?

By far my favorite was “Carry on Mr. Bowditch”

Have you seen the new update for All About Spelling, with an activity book? Would love to see a flip through if you decide to pick it up. :) My son loves AAR but struggled with AAS, so I am very curious.

I love how AAS works but it looks like the struggles I don’t see so my kids struggle with spelling and I know that’s either me or my kids won’t ask for help so we are continuing with it!!! We do poetry thru TGTB language arts and I like that as it’s not on me!!! We didn’t get to read alouds as much as welll!!! We have read alouds with my youngest and different ones with my older kids!!! It’s awesome that ur son is reading better!!! Homeschool has bridged gaps with my kids with medical issues!!! My older daughter has seen so much that at 7 she told me she wanted to go into the medical field and she’s more passionate now than ever!!! I often see lessons learnt that definitely aren’t bookwork!!!

Can someone enlighten me please 😅.. I took my kids out of school in March this year.. (yes, almost towards the end of the school year) so when exactly is the end of year for them ? Should I still be following the public school schedule ? I’m SO CONFUSED !!! 😭 and should I be starting them off for their next school year ? Or continue to teach them whatever grade level they’re learning on? 😵💫 I’m sorry for the question.

Great question! The answer will vary depending on your state and state laws. I would advise you to contact HSLDA.org they are up to date on all the laws and rules for each state.

I have a bad feeling about My Story. We purchased it for next school year for our 2nd grader. I looked at Master Books for months and did not like the Language Arts or Math versions. But I settled on MyStory 2 for her and after getting it and flipping through it..... we aren't really sure but we are going to give it a shot. I have a feeling I won't be purchasing any more from them though. We are doing Word in Motion from Apolagia for Bible. It's wonderful and I would love to check out more of their stuff!! For Math we were going back and forth between Math With Confidence and Rightstart Math but we went with RightStart. We got it for next year but my girl wanted to start now and it's going well!!! If it doesn't work out MWC is definitely our 2nd choice!!! Thanks so much for your wonderful help and advice!!!
