Homeschooling is extremely beneficial for our little ones, but it can sometimes get expensive with all of the materials, curriculums and school supplies needed for the school year. That's why it's important to find ways to save when we can and take advantage of a deal when you see one! Checkout these really cool homeschool books I picked up from the local dollar store that I thought were a great steal!

hello and welcome to my vlog my name is
0:11
heaven and today i am getting ready to
0:14
show you guys some really cool
0:15
homeschool books that we picked up from
0:17
the dollar store they were only a dollar
0:19
and 25 cents some of them are books that
0:23
i was looking for on amazon but
0:25
obviously on amazon they cost a lot more
0:28
money and we've really just been looking
0:30
for more books that we can kind of
0:32
incorporate into our lessons this school
0:34
year so i want to show you guys what i
0:36
found hi
0:38
say welcome to the vlog
0:40
we're actually getting ready to run some
0:42
errands we've got to make a couple of
0:45
runs
0:46
but before we leave i just really wanted
0:48
to go ahead and show you guys these
0:49
books so the first one that i found and
0:52
once i found this one i went ahead and
0:54
just kind of got lost in the book
0:55
section just to see what else i could
0:57
find so the first one that i found is
0:58
really cute and this one is by national
1:01
geographic and
1:03
it is called with a friend by your side
1:06
by barbara curley and it's really just a
1:10
really beautiful book about friendship
1:13
and i really just love the anesthetics
1:15
of it it has like a brief excerpt of
1:17
what the book is about kind of like a
1:19
really cute like poem or something that
1:21
you could just read with your child it
1:24
starts off by saying bearer in the crowd
1:26
is a friend young old short tall feisty
1:30
funny or even furry friends come in all
1:33
shapes and sizes so step right up say
1:35
hello jump in catch a ball toss it back
1:38
pitch a tent pretend hand in hand
1:41
through laughter whispers and shouts
1:43
even when you feel blue together you can
1:45
do anything you can be your true you all
1:48
you need as a friend by your side so i
1:51
read that and i was like this book has
1:53
to be the most adorable obviously we all
1:55
come from different walks of life so i
1:57
really think it's important to
1:59
teach
2:00
our children that it also talks about
2:03
friends in the form of like a pet
2:06
playing with the friends kind of just
2:08
see
2:09
like the anesthetics and telling you
2:11
like how not to shy away but to just
2:14
step right up and make friends it just
2:17
has so
2:19
many like pretty cool
2:21
pictures in it and some really great
2:24
concepts so wonderful things to teach
2:26
the kids i love this book and it's not
2:28
just like five pages like you would
2:30
actually normally find like a dollar
2:32
store book has a lot of pages this is
2:34
something that we can use throughout the
2:35
entire school year this book in the us
2:38
is actually 17.99
2:41
and
2:42
20.99 in canada and 5.99 in the uk well
2:46
i did not get this for 17.99 in the u.s
2:49
i got this book for a dollar and 25
2:52
cents five minutes away from the house
2:54
right at the dollar tree so that's one
2:56
book that i found
2:58
i also found this really cute baby
2:59
animal's book and this one is by
3:02
learning to read and this is the level
3:04
one reader which is the beginning
3:06
reader's guide it's pretty cool like it
3:09
has all of the animals which i think is
3:11
perfect because i know sometimes noah
3:13
like if he sees a
3:14
baby chicken he'll just say it's a
3:16
chicken if he sees a puppy it's a dog if
3:18
he sees a kitten it's a cat so
3:21
i
3:22
really think this would be a good book
3:23
for teaching him like the names of the
3:26
animals like in a baby form and again
3:29
it's just really beautiful the
3:31
anaesthetics in this book it's like
3:32
gorgeous and i love that the animals are
3:35
like
3:36
real
3:36
animals not cartoon animals but the
3:39
animal how they actually look in real
3:41
life it has a glossary in the back of
3:44
the book of like all of the different
3:45
terms that are mentioned in the book
3:47
like survive and hunt adapt and
3:51
pouch
3:52
fetch like just kind of just explaining
3:55
to your child what those words mean so
3:57
like you can teach this to your child
4:00
and then after you've taught it to them
4:02
they can kind of just learn some of
4:04
these terms and some of these baby
4:06
animals on their own another book i got
4:08
similar to that is this land forms and
4:11
weather book and this one is also by
4:13
learning to read but it is level three
4:15
it's still a pretty good book something
4:18
that you can teach your child like this
4:20
page talks about the rainbow which is so
4:24
beautiful i love talking to noah about
4:26
the rainbow because sometimes he's a
4:28
little upset when he can't go outside
4:29
because it's raining so we use that as a
4:31
teaching moment to talk about the beauty
4:33
that comes after the rainstorm and we
4:35
also talk about noah's ark and like
4:38
god's promises and things like that so
4:41
the rainbow is definitely something that
4:44
i'm excited about in this book it talks
4:46
about like swamp and quicksand and
4:49
forest and flood things that i feel like
4:52
he can pick up on at the age of three so
4:55
we will see but i really love this book
4:57
for like science and speaking of science
4:59
we actually found a book an actual
5:02
science book and it's pretty cool
5:04
obviously it's not like a lesson like
5:07
book it's not like a curriculum book but
5:11
it has some pretty cool like question
5:13
and answer prompts in it that you know
5:16
maybe kids might have things that they
5:18
don't know and it's got like some pretty
5:21
anesthetics like i love how this book
5:24
just looks like the pictures in the book
5:29
some of the things are like matter and
5:33
how our ice cubes formed and what our
5:36
solids and
5:38
it acts like why is the sky blue what is
5:41
our source of light and how our rainbows
5:44
form so it just basically has like
5:46
different topics it has like origin of
5:49
life when did the animals first appear
5:52
it has matter it has light
5:55
sound
5:57
heat
5:59
electricity
6:01
magnets
6:03
forces and motion
6:05
[Applause]
6:07
land transport water transport air
6:10
transport and noaa definitely loves like
6:13
all of the things that go all the
6:14
transportation and things like that so
6:16
this is going to be a really cool book
6:18
for us to use during story time
6:20
sometimes when i can kind of tell that
6:21
he's getting bored with the worksheets
6:23
we either stop and do some of our
6:25
puzzles or sometimes we don't pull out
6:26
the workbook at all i kind of just let
6:28
him lead the day like choosing like
6:31
which type of learning puzzles he wants
6:33
to choose and then sometimes we just
6:34
take a break and sit down on the floor
6:36
and just talk about like some really you
6:38
know cool concepts that we can learn
6:40
from just straight out of a book or
6:42
we'll just read a book for fun speaking
6:44
of books for fun i know he's probably a
6:47
little too young to fully enjoy sports
6:50
but it's a great way for us to kind of
6:52
just talk about sports before we go
6:54
outside and do like some physical
6:56
activities throwing the ball and playing
6:57
catch bowling set or kids golf kit there
7:00
are many ways to incorporate sports into
7:03
just physical education something that
7:05
is actually a part of our homeschool
7:07
curriculum and this book is pretty cool
7:09
and it's one that i think he will like
7:10
for a really long time like even as he
7:12
gets older and this book could honestly
7:15
be like a collector's item it is a lift
7:17
and look book so it's one of those
7:19
things that will keep him engaged and
7:21
it's like a peek under the hood book you
7:24
can really get engaged and get into this
7:27
book so this is like how it looks when
7:29
you first open the book but i want to
7:31
show you guys the different types of
7:33
things it talks about like athletes
7:35
places and gear it has some pretty cool
7:38
page designs it talks about like some of
7:40
the famous like athletes in here it
7:44
dives deeper into like the importance of
7:47
it and how they keep up with it and like
7:49
where they begin and just all types of
7:52
things it talks about how they work out
7:54
before the games has like a bunch of
7:56
different sports in it as well
7:58
talks about like trophies so that would
8:00
be a great learning
8:03
concept where i teach him about a reward
8:06
system compared to like a reward system
8:08
that we might have and maybe find a way
8:10
to incorporate it into like our learning
8:13
it also talks about like mind control
8:16
strength building like how to take care
8:18
of your body i thought that's like
8:20
pretty cool and this is a pretty happy
8:22
book like there are a lot of pages i
8:24
think there's like 60
8:25
60 something pages in here
8:28
so yeah it has like roller skating and
8:31
bowling like how there are just so many
8:33
different forms of sports
8:36
some of the people who he'll probably
8:38
hear about when he's older from other
8:40
kids even older children who would
8:42
probably like this book better just
8:44
knowing that it can be related to maybe
8:46
one of their favorite sports player like
8:48
it has vernon davis an nfl player and
8:52
then it also has stefan curry the nba
8:55
player
8:56
but it also talks about how even though
8:58
he's an nba player he also has like a
9:00
hobby
9:01
for like golf so obviously you don't
9:03
have to just stick to just
9:04
one sport but it has the all famous like
9:08
monster truck which what little boy
9:10
doesn't like monster trucks so that's
9:12
really pretty and it's like talks about
9:14
how they're built
9:16
and things like that snowboarding
9:19
football
9:20
baseball it also kind of just talks
9:23
about the different type of parks this
9:25
one has america park which is the arena
9:29
that's here in detroit michigan for the
9:31
detroit tigers for baseball and then it
9:34
also has like petco park in san diego
9:37
it has a park from ontario
9:40
canada um miami florida
9:43
from petersburg florida
9:45
and it has like the gear
9:48
that they wear in the different sports
9:50
like history of the sports it's like so
9:54
much just sports related but this is
9:56
like
9:57
a really pretty book in this book is
9:59
showing that it's 1995 in the us 2195 in
10:03
canada
10:05
and i only got it for a dollar and 25
10:07
cents so if you ask me that's a steal
10:10
okay so those are just a couple of the
10:11
books that i found right at the dollar
10:12
store around the corner for like a
10:14
dollar and 25 cents and besides that i'm
10:18
also gonna do a little more looking
10:19
around like at the libraries and on
10:21
amazon and then once i get some more
10:23
homeschool books while we're building up
10:24
our library for the upcoming school year
10:27
i know some children are already in
10:29
school in michigan the children don't
10:31
start school until after labor day so
10:33
the day after labor day we've been doing
10:36
homeschool throughout the summer we've
10:37
been a little more lenient with it but
10:39
we tried to do one lesson per day in the
10:40
summer with the weekends off but i
10:42
haven't been like stripped on the
10:43
schedule but we are planning to continue
10:46
what we've been doing for the past
10:48
summer through september because we have
10:50
vacation at the end of september
10:54
you want to ride the monster truck
10:57
yeah that would be cool
10:59
but when we get back from vacation in
11:02
october we're going to start the new
11:04
curriculum we'll probably go with the
11:06
good and the beautiful this past school
11:08
year like and through the summer we were
11:09
just doing the horizons preschool
11:12
but now i think we're gonna try the good
11:15
in the beautiful and kind of see which
11:17
one we like more i might even you know
11:18
get the horizons as well but i also was
11:21
looking at a becca so
11:23
i don't know i'm thinking i'm gonna go
11:26
with the good and the beautiful but
11:27
we're gonna see and then like i also got
11:30
these like i got a manuscript
11:33
booklet so that he can practice like
11:35
writing on the lines because even though
11:38
he's like getting better with his
11:39
letters he just you know sometimes write
11:41
them uh like out of place like not all
11:44
on the same line and so i got a booklet
11:47
for that and then i found like another
11:49
like drawing book because when he draws
11:52
he likes a lot of space like
11:55
he doesn't like to draw small circles he
11:57
likes to draw huge circles so i got him
11:59
like a book for that and then this
12:01
booklet also it shows you how to make
12:03
some pictures and objects like just from
12:05
shapes so this would be a really cool
12:06
way to incorporate a few like art
12:08
drawing activities make it easy for both
12:11
him and i
12:13
um so i got that from the dollar store
12:15
as well but that's everything that i
12:17
picked up on yesterday from the dollar
12:19
store that i kind of just stomped in the
12:21
little book section for homeschool this
12:23
year so let me know what you think about
12:25
those books like do you guys think it
12:26
was a steal do you always see books like
12:29
that at your local dollar store because
12:30
i don't so i definitely thought it was a
12:32
steal and i think that we're gonna love
12:34
them during the school year as well but
12:37
that'll be all for today i just wanted
12:38
to show you guys some of those booklets
12:40
that i got for the homeschool school
12:42
year right from the dollar store if you
