Hey there, lovely people! I’m Arlene—a book nerd, planner enthusiast, and seasoned homeschooler with ADHD-driven creativity and Dominican charm 🇩🇴.

52:36 Note: The PE resource I briefly showed in the video—I never received my order or a response from the company. If that changes, I’ll update this. I mentioned that I would share my thoughts after receiving it, but unfortunately, I can't recommend this company at this time. I won’t call them out here, but if you need more details, feel free to DM me on Instagram.

Another absolutely freaking amazing video, Arlene. This is the one I have been looking forward to - and as always - you delivered. That Rigorous Reading guide - adding to cart!

[lbax]

Not me just deciding to do Denison and you say there's a video for it! It's like you read my mind every time!

[Michelgia]

Would love a walk through of your block schedule if you have it in you! Hope you got your takeout 😝

[kellydugan]

Thank you, Arlene! This is sooo helpful!

How will you handle BR level 6 science not be available at the beginning of your homeschool year? That’s where I’m struggling. I did pick up Oak Meadow level 7 science so was thinking about starting with that and then seeing how I can weave in BR.

For the Denison Math, who grades it. Is it automatically graded like teaching textbooks?

[kellydugan]

Wait!! There’s going to be a level 7 Blossom and Root upcoming??
