Allowance For Kids & Teens | When to Start, How Much, and When to Stop?
My son is an 8th grader and very very good at writing. We got him the good and the beautiful book study. Would you recommend it and/or would you do it again?
The level 8 book studies are very simple and below grade level in my opinion. I have a review of each of them here: ua-cam.com/play/PLDv9ZZILJz80GpBbE6QL3f4qrBXJMYg83.html&si=6zw4wTQ5eUpDRR6H I haven’t had a child use the honour book studies.
What subject does this fit into? Science? Thanks!
Yup, science.
Thank you so much for this review!! I checked Amazon to see about the professor noggins game you showed but it’s not sold anymore. Is there another game you can recommend?
I believe they still sell them but with a different picture on the front. Try searching the name online.
The Poet X is quite a questionable book! Just as an FYI!
Thank you for letting me know!
That looks like a great year for your 12th grader. I think you and your son may really like Oak Meadow, while I'm not familiar with the two courses you chose, my daughter took several of their courses and really enjoyed them. They have very interesting homework assignments and always include extra ideas to pursue further learning. Those two courses in particular look very good and I look forward to your review of them later in the year. The readings selections look good too, I also bought Red Sails to Capri for my daughter after seeing Jenny (from TGATB) give it a great review in her video. Thanks for sharing!
Thats encouraging to hear!
@@OneMamaToAnother I meant to say looks like a great year, darn auto correct.:)
Thank you for this detailed video. Christina, which book do you use for French?
They will be using the ones I shared in this video.
@@OneMamaToAnother Thank you
I’d love to hear your opinion on the filing taxes and consumer math options after he’s used them.
I will definitely share a review when he is done!
This seems like a great morning basket item!
Very true!
Thanks for the video. Could you tell me how it is after a few years and camping? I'm concerned about durability and rain protection.
I no longer have this tent but it worked well while we did have it.
Can you tell me what the free link is to lapbook please
@@claudialabial5060 it’s in the description box.
What the average words counts in these letter? Look awesome to read them.
I’m not sure, maybe send an email to the company.
I was really impressed with it at first look, my grade 10 daughter found it a little frustrating to try to find answers for the questions in the book as there was a lot of detailed information. It was our first apología course so don't know if it's typically more advanced. My daughter says it would be good for maybe someone interested in a medical field career
My son said the same thing. I feel like it’s one of their lighter courses.
@@OneMamaToAnotherwow, one of their lighter courses? I don't know if I would chose another appologia then if that's the case...
@@featherduster065 yes, this one is only 3 days a week while the others are 5 from my experience.
I see that this video is 2 years old. I’m wondering if this curriculum would be good for a student with learning challenges. My daughter has AHDH and dyslexia so doesn’t like to sit for long periods of time and is maybe a 7th grade reading level. She’s going into 9th grade this fall. Thanks!
My name is also Christina! I’m wondering how much time it took per day.
Hello fellow Christina! My son did this independently so I’m not sure how long he took each day.
I think it would work because you could pause it and take a break and then come back. Try reaching out to the creator of the curriculum; he is very helpful and could answer questions for you.
Thanks for sharing! My oldest is interested in creative writing too, I hope we get an update later how that curriculum/workbook worked for your family. 🙂 I read Just David some years ago, really liked it.
I will definitely do an update on it!
You're lucky if you can get your kiddos to read all those books. My son likes to read, but he wouldn't be pleased if I presented him with that many books. For me though, the more books the better! Have you used The good and beautiful prior to high school for language arts? I've looked into it, since its free, but haven't gone for it. What's your opinion on the books selected fro its high school levels?
Yes, most of my children started TGTB right from the start. The hs books seem to be a good mix.
I've heard The Art of Argument is great. I'd love to hear how it works for your family. 🌻
I will keep you posted!
I tried the art of argument with my daughter that was in grade 8 this past year and it was a struggle, we didn't get far, but she really needs to be motivated or dragged along for somethings so I gave up. She did enjoy the fallacy detective a previous year. My daughter in grade 10 did the Argument builder and didn't mind it at all, she is a self motivator so stuck with it...the problem was the example reading excerpts were very advanced, dry, and often old language so we skipped those and just discussed ourselves to make sure she understood what the topic was.
Thank you so much! I’m ready to make an order 💗
You're welcome!
Ooh going to check outbyour canadian history playlist!
I hope it is helpful!
Haven't heard of most of those read alouds. Also love your idea to stretch out TGTB mammals study.
I hope they end up being good books!
I love Black Beauty! One of my favourite books. Red Sails to Capri is on my list of books to maybe buy. We don't use formal English curriculum for our younger children, but my 9yo and I read the level 3 TGTB books together. Done two so far and really enjoyed them. I think your plans for science this year sounds fun, love animals. 😄
I'm so glad to hear that you love Black Beauty! I'm excited for it.
This was my first “serious” history book written by a woman- _Vive la difference!_ You’re right, it is a big book! However, Susan balances that with such wit in her turn of phrase, interesting personal observations and asides-commentaries which may have stirred up trouble in the times she covers-that I was fascinated throughout. I almost had the feeling that my own mother was reading to me, and, in fact, her own son was using this book for a history course in school. Whether she is pointing out some of the problems with hereditary rule, or relating the unexpectable twists of fate which decided battles and wars (which I think she feels could largely have been avoided had the characters possessed a more-developed sense of loyalty and charity), or as she wonders how a given king’s concubines might have felt about some issue or another (something most male authors wouldn’t address, if they had ever even thought of it), she voices her unique perspective with unfailing grace and charm. Since she covers over 11,000 years (technically, with greater detail the closer she gets to our present age), she has to keep it succinct, so it’s a bit of a skim. But when she feels it’s important, she downshifts and examines the details more closely. For instance, her take on the “ambitious” Gilgamesh is just what I think a mother would want her little boys to know, no matter what age they are.
That's great to hear- thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your ideas for next year! You will love TGATB mammals unit study! I think we as a family have almost completed each of their unit studies in the last few years, and we have all absolutely enjoyed each one! This year we hope to do Birds, Invertabrates, Wind and Weather, and the Ecosystems units! I love how they now have the extensions for grades 7-8 for our older students to still join in the family study, and then go off and do their extension. For history we are trying out From Adam to Us, from Notgrass.
That's great to hear! We haven't used thier science since they re-did them so I hope it goes well.
Hey friend, i always enjoy your videos. I will watch this on my big new TV with my girls😊tonight. Ty🎉
Thanks!
Thank you for your review with your son! We love TGTB highbschool as well but the books we do not enjoy! Is there another curriculum that you guys could recommend for my son ? He s the same grade level as yours.
TGTB is the only LA curriculum I could recommend for high school at this time.
Are you allowed to eat inside the oTentik?
Yes you are.
Great video! Thank you for sharing how you plan and prepare for the coming homeschool year! ❤
Thanks for watching!
Im so nervous for this year. I will have a 12th grader, 8th grader and a 1st grader. This is our 7th year of homeschool. But i am having a baby in 3 weeks. So im thinkng about startinf mid September instead of August.
Congrats on adding to your family! We like to do slow entries into the year. So well start with LA and math then add in another subject a week later and then another a week later etc. It's a nice way to slowly get back to routines.
I have a hard time finding french resources, however Memoria Press has been working great for my kids and they enjoy it.
This was so incredibly helpful. Amazing work Mama and well spoken clear and easy to follow along. My daughter is debating on Advanced Biology or Marine Biology by apologia, this helped us make an education decision!! ❤
I am so glad it was helpful!
I got my maintenance box from the Epson website for $9.99 free shipping. I bought one so I can change it when it requests to be changed. At least it has one because when it doesn't have a maintenance box you have to mail it for epson to repair when the internal non replaecable ink sponge fills out.
Yes, I think they realized that they need to manufacture ones for sale now.
What type of green house is this one? Did you get this one from Amazon.
It is the Outsunny 26'L x 10'W x 6.8 greenhouse from aosom.ca
Fellow TGTB Homeschooling Mama here! I got to this video from your Epson EcoTank review you posted a year ago. It sounded like the EcoTank is your go to printer regardless of that issue. My big question is what happens if moisture gets on your prints? Does the ink run or smear? I've alway bought the course books but one of my kiddos has requested I print theirs this next year for multiple sensory reasons. I currently have a laser printer but the coloring struggles has me looking at the EcoTank since it's the most consistent one recommended by homeschoolers. However, said kiddo also considers all of their printed items to be Gollum level PRECIOUS and so I wonder if a sweaty/freshly washed palm coming to write on the page, a drop of water from a water bottle pressure release spray, or heaven forbid the baby dribble on it would ruin the printing? 😅 I'm picturing a water color style mess and the potential end of their world, but maybe you can provide some experienced insight for me? 😇 Also, since you're familiar printing the curriculum you might be able to answer this other question. We have found that when we print pages from the Simply Good and Beautiful Math 2 course that have blue boxes, or like the blueprint assignment page, having to erase directly on the color not only erases the pencil lead but it also takes off the color. Have you experienced that being or not being the case with EcoTank prints? Thanks 🙏❤
The only time I I’ve had the ink spread is when water is spilled on it. Other than that, the every day use hasn’t affected it at all. I do suggest giving it a few seconds to dry before touching it when printing for good measure but I print multiple pages and they don’t smear as they pile up. You may want to use a heavier weight paper as well for heavily coloured pages. I don’t believe the ink can be erased off but I’ve never come up against that.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. You and your family are very hard workers. Thank you so much for sharing! 😊
Thank you so much!
Having your kids help in this way must be so beneficial to them!!!! Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your day! 🙂 I can’t wait to try that French bread!
I keep telling them that! 🤣
It would have been awesome if they made the maintenance cartridge a tank AS WELL that you simply empty once full. But then Epson has to make money, right?
Right!
brilliant review thanks
Thanks for stopping by!
Would you think it would be too much to do this and Guest Hollow anatomy at the same time?
No, I don’t think so.
Great review!
Thanks for watching!
Interesting to hear your thoughts on it! This was one I did look into for my oldest for this upcoming school year, but we decided on another one.
What did you decide to go with instead?
@@OneMamaToAnother The Mystery of History. She'll be studying ancient history (so volume 1).
Thank you for this thorough review! I’ve just purchased this for the new year and it’s helping me wrap my head around the curriculum. It’s different for us so we’re still in the planning stages but this was so timely
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing! Thinking of this one for future years...
Thanks for stopping by!
Do you know if this general science course could be used at the highschool level? Im trying to determine if my daughter who is going into 9th grade could use this as one of her lab work required science courses. Are the labs enough to count for highschool transcript credit? Otherwise I was just going to go with their Physical science course instead.
Where I am grade 8 is part of high school so it would. However, high school requirements vary so much that it's probably best to reach out to Apologia directly.
Thank you, Christina. Your reviews are always so helpful.
Thanks!
I had one that lasted about 6-7 years with snow, rain, and so on. I ended up taking the parts that were still good to make a kiwi trellis 🙂 I've never heard of that brand though. I'll consider it if kids want to have one again in the future 🙂
It’s really great! It forgot to mention because it doesn’t have springs it’s silent too!
@@OneMamaToAnother Nice
I have to say that this is a review, most people review items they just bought. Never talk about all the problems that could happen. Thank you lady.
Thanks for watching!
This was so helpful! Thank you!
I'm so glad it was!
I read The Time traveler's wife years ago. My oldest sister is obsessed with time travel and suggested it. I didn't love it quite as much but I did like it. Right now I'm listening to a book called sachiko caren stelson. Is the biography of a little girl who lived through the bombing of nagasaki.
That book sounds right up my ally. Thanks for sharing!
I was really surprised by The Phantom Tollbooth - we ended up liking it, but it was NOTHING that I thought it was. LOL.
Really? That’s one I haven’t read yet.
Thank you for the video. I love hearing book reviews! I've had The Trumpet of the Swan on my shelf for years, but have never read it! The author of it also wrote Stuart Little, which I remember best from the charming movie. My grown daughter used to watch Heidi on VHS (the version with Shirley Temple, which is so sweet!). I have the book as well...perhaps I will read it this summer. My son is 16, so he may not be as interested (although we did read Pollyanna this year together, and we both enjoyed it).
Pollyanna is another book I have heard lots about but never read. I need to get on that!
