Hey guys! I'm Summer Meyers, homeschool mom to six kiddos, and we talk all things homeschool on this channel. Homeschool community is important to me--talking about homeschool and encouragement to be our best selves for our children is powerful. I love talking home education and really diving into what makes homeschool work. We are an eclectic homeschool, mixing Charlotte Mason, adventure schooling, and Unit studies. I have kinesthetic learners as well as visual learners who thrive on being outdoors and soaking up God's green earth. I love hearing from other families who are choosing to school at home, so please introduce yourself in the comments! Being at home is hard, and taking on the education of our kids is even harder. Know that you are not alone in this journey and that you can do it!

Great video
This is ONLY in her very first book. She specifically writes about long uninterrupted work cycles in her later books. “Our schools start with three to four hours of work and remain open longer and longer. Children begin to come in the afternoon. Then, both the teacher and the children begin to get enthusiastic and remain a few hours longer in school.” Maria Montessori - The 1946 London Lectures - 192 The interruption of work by the hours fixed by a time-table and the periods of rest is a negative. [Teachers say:] ‘Don't work too hard at one thing or you will be tired’, whereas the child shows clearly the desire for the maximum effort. Maria Montessori - The Absorbent Mind - 360
“As I have said, our observation of children has made us realize that work is man's fundamental instinct and that the child can work from morning till night without ever feeling tired, as if his labor were part of the order of nature. Fatigue is not natural. It is not the result of work, but of working the wrong way. The child does his work without getting tired and proves to us that we have immense untapped energies.” Maria Montessori - Education and Peace - 114
Excellent video, thank you! We love RightStart but I have been going nuts trying to decide if it’s a good start for my TKer (he’s very math inclined but loves all the cute colorful stuff! Which..as we know, RightStart lacks). In the end though, it’s the math that matters and in my opinion, RightStart is phenomenal. If I find that he needs something a bit more “fun”, what do you think about MWC? Also, I feel like you would love the math from The Beauty of Play✨
LOL! I am EVERY one of them depending on the day...and how many hours I slept 😂
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for EVERYTHING that you shared ❤️
This was helpful as I consider this for next year. thank you
I will have an advanced 2nd grader and slower learning 4th grader. I’m feeling guilty that we never finished level C last year. Do you think it would be okay to jump to level D so my oldest isn’t so far behind? We started RSM after leaving math u see when my oldest couldn’t understand the concepts outside of the blocks. I found it because of you!!!! Thank you!
😂🤣😂 “just… put the rug over it. No, Dad doesn’t care!!!”
Love this! Thank you! What would you add in to discuss climate change?
Thank you for sharing the "What Now" portion! I couldn't find that list anywhere else!!
Does this have to be refrigerated?
Thank you for this!! I was just looking at both of these yesterday comparing the two to see if I could do both somehow.
what it for the tartar cream just new and want to make to my children
Just starting with my 7.5 year old twin boys! We’re doing a couple of lessons a day right now. I assume this will slow down as the lessons get trickier. They’re definitely beginner readers. So far nothing else has worked!!
Absolute wonderful look at this side by side. Great editing. Have you checked out Science Mom Biology?
I just love her personality!!
This was wonderful 🎉
We plan to read some of these for my 3rd grader. Do you do two books a month or how much do you have her read each day? My daughter read the first sassafras book recently and seemed to like it. She’s on the second one.
I’ve been looking for a math program that is really verbal and game-based! And I’m thinking about giving this one a shot for my 5 yo. I appreciate your review on this!
Thank you for sharing this! I agree wholeheartedly!
This has been insanely helpful!
3:48 oh no…
How long did it take you to get through all/most of the lessons?
This makes me feel better! My K is definitely taking 1.5 years to go through level A.
5:10 what a beautiful animation 😂
😂 Oh geeze I forgot about this one. Haha!
Thank you for such a thorough video! I have a 9yo who is in "third grade" this year. It's our first year homeschooling, and I'm looking into the possibility of a different math curriculum for next year. If he's never done Right Start, is it something that would be hard to start at this point (like 4th grade-ish)? Is this a program that really is best used from the beginning?
Not at all! My first year of RightStart, my daughter was in 4th grade and she's in Algebra now after using RightStart all the way through! It kind of depends on how comfortable you think your 9 year old is with their multiplication. Our first year we used Masterbooks, and they did not have any foundation for multiplication. Which meant we needed to start with Level D for her. If you think your 9 y/o is solid with their understanding (not memorized, just understand and are flexible with multiplication) then you can go ahead and start with Level E. If all they have done this year is memorize multiplication facts, then I would start with Level D to make sure they know how to play with the numbers, and can easily skip count. What program did you use this year?
hi, i want to help you for professional CZcams SEO service. SEO help you to reach your video of more organic viewers and subscribers. thank you . i wait for your reply.
Please don't assume that children know the letter names bf learning the sounds. I'm teaching a child who doesn't know the letter names. I think teaching the sounds is less confusing. He would say, "...look "A" for Kamila but the letter was actually "K" so in a way he was right."
Do u have a bible study curriculum u could recommend? Im looking for one for next year, and im leaning towards wanting an apoligetics type curriculum but the ones ive found lean heavily on a young earth slant. Ive been searching for weeks and cant find anything that im looking for. You're the only older earth YT i know of to ask. Lol
I am on the hunt for one that is more affordable. Biologos is an interesting group that offers science with Christian background. It is expensive, and looks like it's more of a supplement, but does include old earth creationism with evolution and what that means for Christian faith. biologos.org/integrate I ran across it researching this video and I am intrigued, but not completely sold.
@@SummerMeyers thanks for this link. I'll check them out!
Youre wonderful. Thank you for going through the book!
As someone who's in 11th grade, having to find obscure chemicals... needing red cabbage for the THIRD time!!! (There were weird cleaners at Walmart, but for once they didn't have the red cabbage.) I feel all of this. We homeschoolers might not struggle in the way most students do, but we have to suffer through finding weird items for chemistry, trying experiments that don't work, and resorting to youtube videos to explain what was supposed to happen. We've all been there and done that.
Ugh, going back to the grocery store for that one obscure item drives me crazy. 🤣
This is totally unrelated but that hutch and buffet is beautiful. Was it an antique find? It has the Pottery Barn look.
Thank you! I found it on FB marketplace and painted it. 😅 It keeps most of my stuff contained. I'm starting to spill out into stacks around it now. haha!
😂😂
I'm rooting for Spidey. I think it could work... 😆 🤣 😂
Hahahaha!!
Lol I feel you!!! It’s funny!!!

Lol!! "Am I going to be put on some 't---rr-st" list??"" 🤣
Right?! 🤣🤣
Hilarious!

There is a part of the HS community that doesn't use planners or schedules (Type B personality). They have a list of assignments to get done every week. Pros: flexibility for Mom with little ones, field trips or outings, and older children are given responsibility. Maybe this can lead to too much freedom or laxness. But it works with checks and balances.
I love that you mention this. I'm definitely more a Type A planning it all out, but I know plenty of homeschoolers who do exactly how you described it. I think this works particularly well for kids in letting them have more ownership of their school work. Are you more type B?
@@SummerMeyers First, I have to say thank you so much for replying. I appreciate the time you put into making these videos. I am naturally Type B, though I've had my moments of over planning and wanting to follow a public school model. Thankfully, I'm in the early years (firstborn is 4 yo), and I've caught myself just in time to take it slow and steady. My priest's wife is my personal contact to the TB HSers. She is an inspiration (in marriage and faith), showing the humble truth that one can still have great hospitality with mess and loud boys playing in the background. She recommended 100 ez lessons. Your feedback on that pgm was topnotch.
@@stephanieblanco7055 She sounds like a lovely person! Having a homeschool mentor is something I wish I had found earlier in my journey. Would have made life easier! ❤❤
Do you still use right start math
Yep! Love it, and it has worked really well with my kids. My oldest just graduated from it and is moving onto HS Algebra. And next year I'll be starting Level A with my 4 y/o. Are you shopping around for curriculum?
After going hard with the good and the beautiful, I burnt out so bad at the end of September 2023. I’m not feeling any better and it’s February 2024. What can I do to come back..
I'm sorry! Burn out is the worst. Was The Good and The Beautiful working for your family? Or were kids dragging their feet/avoiding it?
I think it was far too easy for some parts of LA and others were impossible and it was a fail across the curriculum. so the parts they knew were wasting time and the parts they needed more work on wasn't giving enough practice. also its very teacher intensive. it was the math per child then the LA per child then the science per child if we ever got there at all.@@SummerMeyers
I was firmly heading towards Berean Builders for biology…now I’m reconsidering. This is an excellent review! Thank you!!
I'm so glad it was helpful! ❤️❤️ They are great people!
I was too. I was almost set on BB but then stumbled across GH accidentally and searched for reviews on Google and YT. I'm so glad I did! We'll be going w GH!
Also, the drills are for after mastery. So once they have learned through the build, write, say method and already know the answers, they can use the drills for improving speed and automaticity. The drills and worksheets are NOT for teaching the facts.
They really aren't flashcards. They are fact check cards. You use them to keep track of facts they know and facts they haven't mastered yet. If you are using them like flash cards, then you aren't doing the program correctly.
That's the selling line that Math U See uses. I can't say I see the difference between how Math U See uses them and how traditional flash cards are used which I why I pointed that out. I honestly do not have a problem with how Math U See uses them or the drills. I do think naming them something else though doesn't make it is something else. It's okay to think differently then me, and I found the program well developed for children who need additional help.
Could u link the 100’s jump mat please!❤️
Sorry for the late response! They actually quit making it which is such a bummer. I found a similar mat on Amazon that looks to be very similar and comes with a pair of blow up dice. amzn.to/3SFpiUt
Love this! Love good “both sides” ideas we can use for keeping things open in our homeschool. Thanks girl!❤😊
I'm glad it was helpful! ❤😊
