[joshm]

Thanks for sharing! Can you share how you will do your history curriculum this next school year? Also, the books and documentaries you pick to go along with the curriculum?

[tarajulian]

Would love to see a video about how you use some of the nature study lessons/ideas from John Muir-Laws' book!

[Desertmomof]

We had to put our Spanish & Logic on hold this year too. I have had a lot going on health wise and really just focused on the basics. I felt bad initially, but honestly the kids still received plenty and were able to do all of their extracurricular activities. I think it's ok to recognize our limits! Managing a newborn and schooling 4 others is no small task...you did great.

[katrinakim]

I always love your videos. Thank you for all that you being to the homeschooling community!!! ❤

[ahearttowardhome]

I’d love to hear more on how you used the nature journaling book!

[marianaschooping]

Can you make a video on the nature Journaling book? I have it but never implemented it. Thank you! Great videos as usual

Thanks for sharing so honestly! This year was a struggle sometimes with a 1 year old, and then going into next year I'll have a 2 year old and another newborn. 😮 Sometimes it feels like just surviving the day around ohr homeschool, but my older two always surprise me with their flexibility and understanding. Hope your family experiences many more wins in the upcoming year!

This was great. We had some misses due to craziness in our life. I took on too much this year, so the extras (art, music, electives) just didn’t work out. I still have everything and we will try again next year.

Hits: AAR Level 1 and TGTB math K
With my kindergarten twins. Misses: everything else I had planned because teaching two kids how to read is very time consuming!

[homeschoolmamax]

Watercoloring was a miss for us too! We did great for the fall and then I got pregnant in December and we did bare bones school through morning sickness and exhaustion. Next year is a baby year, so we will see what happens!! Our hit that surprised me was life science - we had so many wonderful discussions surrounding it. I loved it and the kids did too. Looking forward to seeing what you choose for your subjects next year!

[whitneydeloera]

A major hit in our home was Apologia science. Can't wait to do it again next year. Our miss was TGTB language arts. I would love to hear what your kids enjoyed reading this year.

Intro to Logic from Masterbooks is excellent and we did the videos and it was so wonderful and no prep for me. We did it in morning time.

[debbielong]

Every child is different along with their learning styles!

[Dreblueskies]

Can you please record a video about long term planning and yearly planning?

[BobaQueen]

Could elaborate more about FIAR with another video? Maybe pick out a story and explain what you did? I just want to hear more about it!

[serenadarling]

Almost anything that involved more of me than the bare minimum was a miss the 2nd part of the year. We keep my grandbabies while my daughter works and baby 2 was born this past February and both have had some health concerns

One of our hits was Evan Moor Spelling.. a miss was SIngapore Dimensions Math. It was just too much with my 1st grader. The curriculum was a good curriculum just wasn't what worked for us this year. We are going to try TGTB Math this time because she really seemed to enjoy and do well with a few of the lessons when I printed it. I am also trying out TGTB Language Arts level 2.. I am nervous with hearing so much negativity lately about it but we shall see how it works for my youngest.
