  1. It wouldn't be a full credit, but something to jump off ideas from- Campfire Curriculums Photography course. It does work best with a DSlr, but when i taught it I had students who used an iPhone and the free Adobe Lightroom app and could do just about anything. I added a bunch of things from YouTube for some more understanding. It does a good job of an overall understand of photography, house to change settings to create and challenges.
  2. If you want something customized, Plum Paper has that option, but its $$$.
  3. They have a sample on their site. https://www.intoxicatedonlife.com/store/product/the-talk/
  4. We used The Talk series by the Gilkersons. I liked it a lot and it was easy to use. It allowed us to be age appropriate and go as in depth as needed for all our boys. The youngest was 5 and the oldest 9 at that time. We did one book at a time, the first all together. Then we did the next two as the aged and needed that info.
  5. We spread our read aloud time out through our day. I usually do one for 10-15 minutes during our morning time and DS 7 and 3 play and wander. We do another at lunch for 20 minutes and they all sit and listen since they’re eating. And then separate ones at bedtime. I get each then for another 10-20 minutes. my older ones can listen for longer times at a sitting but they get irritated with the younger ones interrupting so the split schedule works for us. As the younger ones learn to listen longer well make the times longer too.
  6. Mine went in person all last year, obviously unvaxxed. He will go again this year still unvaxxed
  7. For us it has depended upon the child. My current 2nd grader/7 yo. He’s not one to sit for long periods, so I cater to his needs. He is required to listen in to our morning time with includes Bible, geography and read aloud. He doesn’t sit this whole time but will often walk around the room, play legos, color. He does 20-30 minutes of math (this is his strength and he enjoys it, otherwise it would be much shorter) 20 minutes of reading lessons 5 minutes of handwriting 20-30 minutes of hands on activities related to Five in a Row. This is split up through our school day and he takes a lot of breaks to play with his younger brother while I work with my older ones he will sit in on their science and history and pick things up there when interested I’ve had two others who desired to sit down and do formal lessons beginning in K and still do. My schedule and expectations of them were much different.
  8. I primarily use NASB for study occasionally ESV. For just reading I’ll use NIV or NLT. For memory work we use ESV.
  9. When I go coffee free I usually drink teas. When craving the cream and sweetened coffee I’ll do roasted dandelion root. Not the same but it helps me.
  10. Could using the book list from a guest Hollow work? The spine is Apologia which would probably be too much but they use a lot of lit that may fit for learning. Then we added in a chem set from Home Science Tools which came with experiments. You may be able to just buy the simple booklet from them for those ideas
  11. Jamie c Martin has a wonderful book Give Your Child the World with suggestions of good literature for different countries with a summary. It was super helpful. We also enjoyed the booklist from Beautiful Feet’s Around the Works with picture books (I used the program for k-6th). I wasn’t thrilled with the actual guides. Atlas crates are fun too
  12. We have done EEME and Mark Roberts class. They are completely different IMO. EEME is great for beginning to learn electronics, how to do simple projects. rovers class which he recommended using the arduino kits is more taking an idea froM beginning to end, problem solving and implementing it. It is more process. My kids enjoyed both. EEME is more beginning knowledge and I would suspect that 42 electronics is a step up from them (we haven’t tried it yet).
  13. If doing online I’ve seen group buys for Beast Academy online. They may be those for the upper levels too.
  14. Five kids here- first was early. Next three late with two needing to be induced at 42 weeks as my docs wouldn’t let me go longer. Fifth came naturally on his due date. I thought he’d be late and they already set up. A date for his induction since it was by the holidays.
  15. Nope. Music is on constantly here. We have a Bluetooth speaker they use for listening so its also not just them in their own world.
