This was supposed to be a YouTube video but it is super dark today… and will be for the next several days. In an effort to not keep delaying it, I just decided to at least put a blog post up and then link the video later. There are a couple small things we are still waiting to arrive, but they have been using these items for a bit now.
I really scrambled to get together the curriculum for our three eldest children so that we could establish a new routine before baby Capri joins us in May. We have not had the most consistent of years since the hurricane so we are fully homeschooling through the summer.
Much to my surprise, the kids are super excited about the new curriculum and the new workload changes. They still get school done in about 2-3 hours depending on the day.

Are you guys not doing Teaching Textbooks math anymore?
We did stop using Teaching Textbooks for the older kids because as we went along, they were not retaining anything. The older girls prefer Khan Academy and use that when they’re not using Math U See. They love Math U See in the older grades. Everett never liked Teaching Textbooks or Khan Academy so he does more workbook type math which he loves.
Thanks for sharing great informational content.
