Loved the video...I always like seeing your videos, your choice of books and curriculums for every year and how it has progressed. I can clearly see the immense amount of planning and thought that you put into the process. Please keep making more videos on individual topics or just some chatty ones.. they are incredibly helpful. Hoping you have a wonderful teaching year ahead.
I do something similar on the computer and print out a different sheet for each kid for each day. It includes chores, jobs (for my teens), sports, and all school work. I do them for my younger kids, too, and either check them off myself or let them know what to mark.
I have a toddler but planning on homeschooling when it’s time. This notebook organizing method seems great! My question is are you re-learning all these subjects as you teach them? 😅 I think I’m having trouble envisioning me teaching things like English and Latin since I wasn’t good at English and never had Latin in school. How do you navigate tracing all subjects at all different levels? My mind is really blown how you and so many other homeschool moms (some with like 8 kids) can teach such a variety in one day as just one person! Not to mention household work! ❤
This is super helpful! I thought this would be about note booking as in narrations and such but this was helpful too….when did you implement a daily checklist to begin with your children?
Thanks for sharing your process
Have a great, peaceful transition to a new school year!!! You are such a great committed mama!!! Thank you ALWAYS for your INSPIRATION 💗
Love the idea of map drills🙌
Do you choose 10 spelling words for your daughter to work on, or do you follow any specific curriculum?
Thank you Julie SO MUCH!!! It is SO SO so helpful to see in detail!!!!! I appreciate your wisdom 🤍
Wow you wasted a lot of sticker paper.
❤
Thank you for sharing the walk through of the books!
You are so welcome!
A buddhist congregation is called a "sangha" 🥰
Thank you!
Hi! quick question do you grade any of their work?
That is a great question. I have, but very rarely. It is just to give them practice with test taking. I didn't show them here, but the digital file also comes with tests for the end of each chapter, along with an answer key, so you can use those. I am actually thinking of using them more this coming school year.
Lost me at t swift study 🤪
The beauty is that you can choose a musician you enjoy!
Can you tell me where from is the wonderful music in the background?
It is from epidemic sound. I usually include the music info in the description box, but it seems I didn't this time - sorry! If I figure out what it is I will try to reply here again.
Question, is this an actual store or business or is it all “made believe” I’m not sure I understand. 🙏🏼
Sorry for my delay in response. It is not a real business. They are given fake orders each month as well as an amount of money that they made in "additional sales." I hope that helps!

That sounds great!
Thank you for sharing! I missed your videos and homeschooling updates!!! Would you be able to share how you assign your children school work in journals? I like this idea and am interested in implementing it in our school. We used planners for kids, but I want to try something new. I would greatly appreciate your advice and tips on how to start journal planning to encourage independence 🤍
Absolutely! That is a wonderful question. I am so sorry it has taken me so long to get to your comment. I realize it would be better to see a visual and I will try to get a video up very soon to show you, but here is generally what I do. (1) Before each week (usually over the weekend), I look over our plan for the week and write down a list of subjects that the child will be doing each day of the week. The list is similar each day, but if we have music lessons or something, they may have less. (2) I go look at each subject on the list (e.g. pull out the math book for math), and write down the specific pages or activity that they have to do that day. For group subjects, I am normally not specific. This gives us flexiblity to adjust each week as needed. (3) For my oldest, I started giving her subjects that I assign to "this week" which gives her flexibility (and responsibility) to decide when in the week to get those subjects done. I usually add that she needs to have them done by 2pm on Thursday or Friday, depending on the week. I hope that is somewhat helpful!
@juliaathome thank you SO MUCH for your reply!!! That sounds wonderful, and I will try implementing this system this year!! I appreciate your time and thorough explanation!!! You are truly missed here on CZcams. Have a blessed school year!!! You inspire me 🌟
Thanks for your review, I actually purchased this a few years ago and haven’t gotten to it yet, you inspired me to start printing for next year!
That's great! I hope you enjoy it! I am currently printing out book 2!
Thanks! We’re using this next year.
Oh, I hope you enjoy it!
This is a really great approach! Thanks for sharing. I think I’ll apply this for an overview on world geography. I was thinking of using online geography drills but this looks so simple!
I am so glad it was helpful!
I’m 7 years old and watched lots of her videos because I’m homeschooled and LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!
Oh, hi! Thank you so much for watching and your very kind comment! I hope you are having a great time in your homeschool!
Hi, I realize this video is a few years old, but do you remember how long these prehistory units took?
Sorry for the delay in response! They were a couple weeks each - I think we spent a little longer, maybe 3-4 weeks, on dinosaurs because my kids love them.
This was SO helpful, thank you!!! Question for you- were those example narrations from your kiddos done in one sitting or pieced together from multiple sittings? They are so impressive!!!❤️
I am so glad it was helpful! Each narration was done in one sitting. They were in 3rd and 5th grade and we have been practicing narrations since they were in Kindergarten, so they have had some practice. I am not sure if I mentioned it, but I wrote/typed the 3rd grader's for him.
Where are the Montessori math workbooks from? Its a lifesaver:)
Those are actually Math Mammoth books. They were using their 3rd and 1st grade curriculums. I have them use Montessori materials when they are learning new concepts or need some extra help. One of my struggles with Montessori math was having to come up with the equations, so that is one of the reasons I started using Math Mammoth, but I also love the Montessori materials!
This is so beautiful!!♥️
thanks so much for wonderful method
You are most welcome!
thanks so much for wonderful method
Do you have a pdf file for this
I don't currently - I am sorry about that. I may in the future put together a website or something where I can share my unit study outlines.
How did you make the clay sculptures with your children? What did yo teach or read with them along with that I love what you did
It was part of a lesson from the Artistic Pursuits book, Art of the Ancients. artisticpursuits.com/product/263141 They have lots of great activities. I am glad you enjoyed the video!
Could you share the ink to the 3D puzzle please
I got it off of amazon here - amzn.to/3waI9zE - but, unfortunately, it looks like it is out of stock (we did this several years ago). It looks like there may be some options on ebay if you search for parthenon 3d puzzle.
I lovvvvve this!
I hope you can try it!
Omg that makes me feel so much better about the cleaning, I’m trying to make a schedule too but with kids, Homeschool, homestead projects, the garden, diys n cooking from scratch my house is just not together lol
Yes! It is impossible to do it all! One day my house will be cleaner, but not in this season of life!
You offer an amazing amount of information for a new homeschooler. Thanks so much
You are so welcome!
It's so much easier to see how these things are done in practice rather than reading a blog post or something so thankyou for that.
I agree. I am glad it was helpful!
Such a great video! Thank you. I'm so grateful for this great list of resources.
You are so welcome! I am glad it was helpful!
I keep looking at both history quest and the curiosity chronicles and I am so torn between the two and completely confused as to which one to choose for the upcoming year. We are doing the History quest early times and are taking way too much time than I initially intended to, in every civilization. Although we do really like HQ and are about to finish the early times, I keep looking at CC for the medieval times. I know the format of both the books are completely different and told in different ways, but I like how both are Secular plus has world view on history. The take of both the books are so different activities wise that I am not able to decide which one to choose for the next year? as you have used both the books, I thought you might help me in deciding or give your honest opinions on how you think one curriculum might be better in what ways than the other. I like the timeline aspect of CC and think my kids will be able to see things with a broader perspective, but the chapters in the CC are so short, I feel like would they really sink in, if not told in a story format to introduce the topic (which is where I like the HQ curriculum). Do u think it might be crazy or overly ambitious to combine CC and HQ for upcoming years? As I have seen you combining CC and SOTW for a year, wanted to ask if you feel HQ and CC together is possible?
I totally understand your conundrum! The good thing is that they are both great currriculums, so you can't really go wrong, you just need to figure out what is best for you and your family. I didn't think I would like the dialougue format of CC after the story format of History Quest, but it turns out that we do like it. One of the things that I like about it is that it is shorter, as HQ was a lot of reading for me, which got harder to do with the little ones that I have. I like to add quite a bit to any history curriculum we do, so we are also moving much slower than I intended. (I originally wanted to go through all of world history 3 times with each kid, but now am hoping to squeeze in 2...). You could definitely combine them, but it would be a lot for you so it depends on your time and interest. If you want to do that, take a look at the tables of contents to see how they would match together. I am pretty sure both curriculums have samples on their websites, so I would look at those yourself, and maybe even try it out with your kids to see if you like it. I hope that is helpful! Good luck!
Thanks SO much for this very helpful video!!!
You are so welcome! I am glad it was helpful!
Does this involve Maths, Science and English?
It is not a comprehensive curriculum, no. But it does involve some science in the form of botony, as well as art projects. If you are feeling creative, you could probably do Maths and English connected with it, but you would have to come up with it yourself. We just used it as an add on to our other curriculum.
Did you happen to purchase the digital bundles through Homeschool Buyer’s Club? I can’t seem to find anywhere if it’s the color version.
Unfortunately I didn't so I am not sure. I usually purchase the digital versions through the math mammoth site.
Yes, the bundle from HBC is in color. Got it a couple years ago.
Seterra is a great (free) online version to do map drills
Great tip! Thanks!
Would love an update on how this is going! Thanks!
It is going well so far - I intend to do a review this spring. :)
the movie is pg 13 and on hulu according to a google search
This was great and just what I was looking for, thank you! I'd love to hear an update at the end of the school year about how this went for your daughter!
So glad it was helpful - and, yes I intend to do a review!
I love this! Thank you for sharing… I love your approach to family education (I’m an art history major turned attorney turned homeschool mom so the intersections between art and political revolutions are really interesting to me). Have your found any books on women artists (picture books?) from this time? I probably can’t do a French Revolution study with my two and four year old…
Hi! An art history major turned attorney turned homeschool mom... can we be friends?! Unfortunately, I have not found any good picture books on women artists from the time. Maybe one day when the kids are older we'll need to write some... 2 and 4 is probably a little young, but no reason you can't learn about it on your own! 😁
This was SO INCREDIBLY helpful, thank you so much for posting this! Your kids’ narrations are amazing. And I agree with you, once I tried narrating for myself, I finally understood how hard it is! 😅. Thanks for the book recommendation, too; I can’t wait to check it.
I am so glad it was helpful! Best of luck!
Oh my Goodness, Your library is awesome, thank you we are working on native american studies this was helpful, and I'm now following your channel
