@@abbasiyad1713 Hello! Have a blessed day 💜

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your support 😊

Thank you for watching and sharing your kind words of support! Wishing you a blessed day 😊

Thank you for your kind words! It’s helped me so much to memorize verses with my children so I’m glad you found this helpful 😊

You’re welcome!

Thank you!!! Literature based is my favorite.

Thanks for your question! I use tabs to organize. My organization tabs are titled learning, even days, odd days, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and then the numbers 1-31 to represent all the days in a month. One verse will be in each tab as we methodically work our way through the verses. The only tabs with more than one verse are the numbered tabs since as my children master the verses they review them just once during the month. I hope that helps 💜

Thanks for your kind comment. This curriculum is very Eurocentric and like you said many are from a Western perspective. If I had to do it over again, I would probably choose Build Your Library. I believe their level K is a similar Around the World curriculum but with different book choices. Hope you find something that works for your child!

@@HomeschoolwithRachel Thank you so much for the input. I would love to try Build Your Library, but I got to get my charter to approve it so my effort making it happen would count toward state standards. Maybe in a couple of years, I really hope my kid will be ready to try Beautiful Feet Books or go back to Bookshark (I missed the memo that I should choose a level with my kid's age being in the upper range. 😅)

Glad you liked it! These are some of my favorite videos too 😊

I’m glad it was helpful! We really like Singapore Dimensions 😊

Thank you so much sweet mama!

Hello! So glad to have another SLP stop by and watch a video. I retired in 2017 😂

That’s wonderful your daughter thrives with B&R LA! We’ve used B&R the last 2 years for science and thrive in it as well. I’m still undecided which LA program will best fit his needs.

Thank you! We just finished up with the Brazil unit and will be doing Peru and Chile in the summer. We did all the note booking pages and it's so nice to see their progression in learning how to map and color with more precision! I hope you have a great time with this curriculum!

Chicken tikka masala for Great Britain 😃? I live in England, odd choice. We haven’t done this program, but we are starting BFB early America history primary soon, and I am noticing as I am planning, that there will be many more lessons than 94. I have estimated 140 lessons that’s using some rabbit trail books and video references. How many lessons would you make this program and how many in picture books around the world part 1 too, please?

@@jessicajones611the curriculum doesn’t specifically have a total number of lessons since there are so many supplemental book recommendations that aren’t listed as lessons. I added up the lessons and then a few supplemental book recommendations. It totaled up to around 100 days of lessons for Around the World Part 2 and 90 days of lessons for Around the World Part 1. Hope that answered your question 💜

Yes, I would definitely have to see and hear him to make the best recommendations since there are a few different things that could be impacting him. Keep it up because it sounds like you’re doing all your research. A speech therapist may be helpful if things aren’t progressing but I understand there are barriers to getting speech therapy 💙

Thank you for the encouragement. I will find out how to work with a speech therapist in a year if we don’t get it. I’m sure homeschoolers have that option somehow. In the meanwhile, if you ever feel like doing a 25 min consultation w us I would gladly pay for your time just to make sure we aren’t missing something key!!!

@@gingerdillard1664 I am not doing any video consultations, but I will give you some info on the three different options you have for speech therapy because it can be confusing. First is going through the school system because speech therapy is covered for homeschoolers through special education by creating an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). This option is free and he would likely receive 1-2 sessions per week. Second is getting a doctor order for speech therapy and using your medical insurance to cover some of the cost for you. Third is finding a private practice speech therapist and paying out of pocket. Good luck and all the best on making progress!!!

💛THANK YOU!!!! My husband and I will start a conversation about all of this and look into it! VERY HELPFUL~ finding your channel has been a blessing!! THANK YOU AGAIN!

Hello and thanks for your comment! It sounds like you are working closely with your speech therapist on exercises. I would keep up the work you’re doing because that R will likely come with continued treatment. I know it’s hard in the moment, but results will payoff in time. Stay encouraged and also ask your specific speech therapist for more activities for his specific R distortion since your speech therapist knows his distortion the best 😊 Good Luck!

Hi Emily! Thanks for your kind words. We are sticking with Singapore Dimensions for 2nd grade. We have a few lessons left in level 1B and it’s challenging but in a good way if that makes sense. The games really help him stay motivated because the workbook going from levels 1A to 1B was significantly more challenging. We are sticking with Singapore because it works for us but I am completely open to changing if we hit a wall 😊

@HomeschoolwithRachel thanks for sharing! That's great that it has fun games to keep things positive!

Hello and thanks for your comment! Depending on your specific child’s needs I would recommend 3 different programs. Explode the Code is workbook style, All About Reading has tons of research to back it up as it’s an Orton-Gillingham based approach, and then Treasure Hunt Reading has videos and a free workbook which you print online and follows the Orton-Gillingham approach. My now 1st grader needed extra support when he was a kindergartener and we used Treasure Hunt Reading for about 6 months until he was more confident in his phonics skills. These are 3 different programs but depending on what your child’s needs are hopefully one of these help supplement TGATB!

It wasn’t our favorite unfortunately. We ended up skipping the Numbers section as it was too simplistic for my Pre-Kinder. We did like the Letters portion but it is very repetitive with the same/similar activities for each letter. It got the job done though because he knows all his letters and sounds and is beginning to string CVC words together. I would have picked a different curriculum if I had another Pre-Kinder because I wouldn’t want to teach from it again. I have a review of it on my channel if you’re interested 💙

Here’s the video link if you’re interested! czcams.com/video/pzUFKrNaAGY/video.htmlsi=2j3oMUVtVCa0PZgW

Ooo I’ll have to look into that resource! Thanks for sharing 💙

The workbook gives good review of the concepts but would not be necessary especially if you plan on using the games and centers in the teacher manual. The games and centers are so fun and hands on! Happy homeschooling 😊

@@HomeschoolwithRachel thank you!

Thank you! The library is one of my favorite places 📚

It’s the best!!! 💙

The decision fatigue is so real with Beautiful Mundo! That's completely my problem implementing it every week. We've worked our way through it over the past year, but I want something much more structured for our next Spanish curriculum. You're the second to recommend Homeschool Languages! Thanks for your insight 💙

Hi Rene! So glad you found this video 💙 I'll have to stop by your channel and see what you ultimately pick for your pre-k'r in your curriculum picks videos 😊 Happy homeschooling to you and your kids!

Homeschool Languages! It’s kinda pricey but looks amazing. I saw it on Seven in All’s channel (thanks CZcams viewing history)

I filmed this video awhile ago and saw that same video from Rachel a few days ago 😅 it’s added to my l growing list of choices! That curriculum is visually appealing so it may make me want to teach from it more than my current curriculum.

Im so excited for all the books!!! History used to be my least favorite subject in school, but I am actually so excited to teach history since it’s all stories and literature based!

Oooo I hadn't even thought of those options! I'll have to look into them. Thanks for your wisdom 💙

@@HomeschoolwithRachel You’re Welcome!! ❤️ Best of luck to a fabulous year!

Understandable! Their sales is how I justify the splurge 💜 I tried to use another science curriculum during my son’s first grade year, and it didn’t compare to Blossom and Root, so we are back with it!

@@HomeschoolwithRachel how much does it cost for you to get it spiral bound? That was also one of the big things that has kept me from using a lot of homeschool resources and curriculums because so many of them are available as PDFs and my kid and I just struggle to learn on screens. I've been going out of my way this year to avoid using anything that is solely in a PDF because it was such a big issue the last year we homeschooled.

I used the homeschool printing company. It was $7 for each of their science notebooks printed and spiral bound, and then $18 for the LA printed and spiral bound.

We enjoy their science so much as well! I’m going to be doing a look through video of the B&R Language Arts soon. I ordered all the books from the library and it’s a lot of reading!

Keep going! You’re so close to finishing 🎉

Yes, it’s a fun toy!

Small world! I knew there were more of us out there!!! Nice to meet you 💙

Hi Gisel and thanks for watching! We are looking forward to it!!! 💜

It’s a secular curriculum . Thanks for asking!

Thank you!

Books are one of my favorite things!

Hi there!

I’m so excited to start using mine!

Hello and welcome 💜
