I have been a homeschool mom for three
0:03
proud years to my now 5-year-old son and
0:08
it has been such an amazing experience
0:10
and journey for us we started when my
0:12
son was just 2 years old and we began
0:15
with the Horizon preschool for three's
0:17
homeschool curriculum and then we also
0:20
added in a little bit of the good and
0:21
the Beautiful curriculum and that is
0:23
where we were last at so now I just
0:27
purchased a New Horizons
0:30
curriculum and I'm excited to dive into
0:34
this curriculum unboxing and just
0:36
showing you guys everything that it
0:39
comes with my initial thoughts and my
0:41
initial review so that once we are
0:44
halfway through the curriculum and then
0:46
once we complete the curriculum I can
0:49
come back and see if my initial thoughts
0:53
and reviews and expectations were the
0:57
same as my final overall review of being
1:00
finished with the curriculum but there
1:02
is so much here to unbox and show you
1:07
guys and I'm so super excited I cannot
1:10
wait to share it with you guys if you
1:12
are new here my name is heaven and I'm a
1:15
St home mother and wife I'm also a
1:18
homeschool mama so here I create some
1:21
homeschool content but I also create
1:24
days of the life homem making videos
1:27
cleaning videos home organization
1:29
shopping hauls and grocery hauls and
1:32
even a little bit of Disney content
1:34
sprinkled into there as well but I do
1:37
have a separate Disney Channel so if you
1:39
are a Disney mom or you happen to be a
1:41
Disney lover then I'll have that linked
1:44
below for you guys but today is all
1:46
about homeschool and The Horizon's
1:49
kindergarten curriculum to get started I
1:51
kind of just unboxed everything and laid
1:53
it out for you guys it came in like a
1:56
regular shipping box but then the phonic
1:58
curriculum came in this box here and
2:01
then the math curriculum came inside of
2:04
this box the boxes also gives you a math
2:07
scope and sequence by grade and it goes
2:12
all the way up for this one to grade six
2:16
and then the back of the box for this
2:18
one goes up
2:21
to third grade but yeah I just give you
2:25
an overview of the scope and sequence
2:26
for basically what would be taught
2:29
inside of that curriculum so I will go
2:33
over this with you guys but aside from
2:35
this we also have the health set as well
2:38
it's one full curriculum they have it on
2:42
Amazon but if you purchase it from their
2:44
actual website Alpha Omega Publications
2:48
then it's normally a little bit cheaper
2:50
and they also have like different
2:51
discounts going on sometimes so on
2:55
Amazon I believe this curriculum was
2:58
$375 but from Alpha Omega Publications I
3:01
got it for
3:03
$318 with free shipping they do have it
3:06
separately split up on the website so
3:08
that if you want to just purchase math
3:11
you can just purchase math or just
3:13
phonic and reading or just health and
3:15
then they also have different like Bible
3:17
courses and things like that but also
3:20
you can not only just purchase the
3:23
subjects separate but you could also
3:24
purchase the book separate for instance
3:26
if you just wanted to purchase book one
3:28
you can just purchase book one if you
3:30
just wanted to purchase the reader you
3:31
could just purchase the reader for $15
3:34
and then you could just purchase them as
3:36
you go as opposed to starting outright
3:38
with a huge $300 to
3:41
$400 bill I like to get everything once
3:44
and get it out of the way if that is
3:47
possible but originally I did consider
3:50
just buying the phonics and reading book
3:53
one with the reader one which would have
3:56
came out to
3:58
$35 as well as the math book one which
4:02
would have brought it up to about
4:04
$55 I felt like I would have been
4:06
spending more in the long run because
4:10
$50 um opposed to $300 sounds good but
4:14
that wasn't even just half of the
4:16
curriculum that wasn't like a very small
4:19
portion of what I would need so if I had
4:21
to spend $50 every time I needed another
4:23
set which for phonics and reading there
4:26
are four bucks with four readers that
4:29
would mean that at $20 a piece just to
4:33
get these four books alone would be
4:37
$80 but to get the corresponding readers
4:41
which are
4:42
$15 each it would have been
4:46
$140 um just for me to purchase the finx
4:51
and reading set and it wouldn't have
4:53
come with the teachers guides and then I
4:57
still would have had to purchase the two
5:00
math books I think if you wanted to
5:02
purchase everything separate you
5:05
probably could have done it let's see
5:07
without the teachers guide but because
5:09
this is my first time unpacking a
5:11
curriculum from The Horizon's this big I
5:13
wanted to have those teachers guides
5:16
just starting out aside from the teacher
5:19
guides and the actual curriculum itself
5:21
it also comes with a wipe off
5:24
tablet that your child can write on
5:31
as well as the
5:32
marker and then it also comes they call
5:35
it like a I thought it was supposed to
5:37
come with a floor puzzle an alphabet
5:40
floor puzzle but what I received was an
5:43
alphabet poster that you can post up on
5:45
the wall which it's um you know you
5:49
could probably get this from the dollar
5:50
store for $1 and it might even be more
5:53
aesthetically pleasing um but it's good
5:55
to have if you need it to help your
5:58
little one recognize
6:00
how to write their alphabet they'll have
6:02
something to reference so now that the
6:07
ordering and the unboxing part is out of
6:09
the way let's get into the actual
6:11
curriculum which I'm super excited for
6:14
by the way if you are a
6:16
homeschool parent or if you are a mom
6:20
looking for another mom that you can
6:21
relate to and connect with I'm always
6:25
sharing some helpful and relatable and
6:26
realistic content here on my channel as
6:29
well as some homemaking and I would love
6:31
for you to join the family by hitting
6:33
the subscription Button as well as the
6:35
notification Bell so that you'll be
6:37
notified every time I post new content
6:39
but now that that's out of the way let's
6:41
start small and work our way up so let's
6:43
start here with the health curriculum it
6:46
comes with one student workbook as well
6:49
as one teachers guide it has
6:53
100 and six pages for seven units each
6:58
unit has a different or separate amount
7:01
of lessons but I don't see anything more
7:04
than nine lessons so looking to be about
7:09
5 to n lessons per unit and there are
7:13
seven units this book is a little more
7:16
flimsy if we're comparing it to the good
7:19
and the Beautiful workbooks their's is
7:22
like spiral bound but I like this
7:25
workbook I don't know I kind of just
7:27
like this style more so than the viral
7:30
personally um I don't
7:32
know why but I do and then it also has
7:35
the prefered lines if you want to pull
7:38
them out and you want to like copy it or
7:41
if you want to laminate them or anything
7:43
like that to use for future children I
7:45
only have one child one 5-year-old and
7:48
then we have one on the way but she
7:50
won't be here until July so it's
7:52
probably going to be another four or
7:55
five years before we be doing this again
7:58
um so do I think that I would save this
8:00
for four or five years probably not not
8:03
to mention I don't even have a
8:04
laminating machine and I don't want to
8:07
make copies of every lesson so I'm just
8:09
going to use it out of the book because
8:11
it helps me to keep track of everything
8:13
you never know when we may move to a
8:16
state that requires us like if we
8:18
relocate they require you to have you
8:21
know records and things or if you will
8:23
need to ever in the future have proof of
8:25
your homeschooling where I live in
8:27
Michigan there are no requirements or
8:30
reporting requirements or anything like
8:32
that but you never know so I like to
8:34
save everything and that way you know
8:36
I'll have it all inside of one booklet
8:38
instead of printing and laminating
8:40
everything making more of a mess for
8:42
myself this is a Christian curriculum
8:44
and with the health I can already see
8:46
that there's a lot of Christian Concept
8:48
in here um and I love that about the
8:52
Horizon so when you open it up the first
8:54
page says Horizon's Health K got's
8:57
healthy child so that already tells me
9:00
that there's going to be some Christian
9:03
lessons throughout this curriculum and
9:05
that makes me happy another thing that I
9:07
really love about the Horizon curriculum
9:09
is that there's a line for them to write
9:11
their name on the top of each page I
9:14
love that so unit one is knowing about
9:17
me and my body unit two is living in a
9:20
family unit three is getting along with
9:23
others unit four is knowing my body unit
9:26
five is taking care of my body unit six
9:29
is being safe and Unit Seven is
9:31
preventing health problems so that's
9:34
everything that is covered inside of The
9:36
Horizon's kindergarten Health the
9:38
lessons so far in here they typically
9:40
start off with a coloring page so lesson
9:42
one would literally just be a coloring
9:45
page something to color that's probably
9:47
going to link to the lesson it teaches
9:49
them about brushing their teeth about
9:51
things that are safe versus things that
9:53
are not safe following rules staying on
9:56
the sidewalk stopping at the corners
9:58
looking both
10:00
ways um it teach them about different
10:04
like emergency like you know jobs and
10:06
things like that about like kitchen
10:09
safety like not to touch the stove how
10:12
to cover your mouth when you
10:15
sneeze and then it helps you identify
10:17
the health partner so like dentist
10:20
Doctor some Behavior things when you
10:24
might need medicine learning to say no
10:27
to Pure pressure or learning say no to
10:30
things that are not good it has a bunch
10:32
of the different activities and jobs
10:34
that you know people can be the
10:35
different careers and everything all of
10:38
the five senses and for instance it has
10:40
like a little palm it says blue blue sky
10:43
oh I can see the sky God gave me eyes so
10:46
I can see the sky and then there's a
10:48
coloring page to see and then there's
10:50
another poem red red rose oh I can smell
10:53
a rose God gave me a nose so I can smell
10:55
a rose with a color and page for um
10:58
smelling and then at the end of unit
11:00
four just says thank you God for My Five
11:03
Senses so these units look super super
11:07
easy it does have like some cut and
11:09
paste activity so you would definitely
11:11
need glue for it and this one has food
11:14
from Plants Versus Food from animals and
11:18
so you would cut out all of the
11:21
food objects and then put them in the
11:25
correct column food from plants or food
11:28
from animals I think that's a really
11:30
cool activity and then it also has
11:33
versus inside of the teacher guide
11:35
that's not inside of the curriculum if
11:36
you would like to teach them like poems
11:38
or verses then that's in here it's a
11:41
very short um curriculum honestly and
11:45
very very easy to get through I would
11:47
think so that's pretty much everything
11:50
inside of this health now moving along
11:52
to The Horizon's math so let's start
11:55
with the teacher guide and give you guys
11:57
an overview of what to expect hor RIS
11:59
mathematics okay table of contents it
12:02
tells you it will go over in the
12:04
teacher's book the organization of
12:06
student lessons the scope and sequence
12:08
where to use the mathematic worksheets
12:10
the appearance of Concepts it has a
12:12
daily lesson planner a development of
12:14
Concepts charts manipulatives teacher
12:17
lessons and
12:18
reproducible worksheets it tells you the
12:21
goal of the curriculum the design the
12:23
development a balance of the best method
12:26
an example of how to use it in general
12:28
information
12:30
activities answer keys worksheets so in
12:33
total it has 160 lessons and there are
12:35
80 lessons in each of the books there
12:38
are more math lessons in Horizons than
12:40
there is in the good and the Beautiful
12:42
the good and the Beautiful
12:44
has 120 math lessons this one has 40
12:48
more lessons it has counting one to 100
12:51
counting by ones fives tens twos 3es
12:53
fours and 100 it has number recognition
12:57
recognizing off families to 100 number
13:01
writing writing all families to 100
13:03
number value the value of all single
13:05
digit numbers the number after meaning
13:08
what comes after this number the number
13:10
before number between place value ones
13:14
and tens addition subtraction money
13:17
telling time calendar number Theory such
13:20
as ordinal numbers even and addd numbers
13:24
colors shapes comparisons Direction and
13:27
position graph measurement units of
13:30
measure fractions and sequence so I
13:33
think that it introduces a bit more
13:35
topics than the good and the Beautiful
13:38
it also tells you like what each You
13:40
Know lesson you can expect and which
13:44
units pretty much and then it gives you
13:45
a daily lesson planner of what's to come
13:48
and I think that this is good to look at
13:50
at the beginning of the week so if you
13:52
know you want to do like four lessons
13:54
that week you can take a look at it and
13:55
see what you have for instance this is
13:59
what the lesson planner looks like and
14:01
it has everything broken up for you so I
14:04
really like that it the lesson planner
14:07
typ of teachers guy that's something
14:08
good to have because I used to have to
14:10
write this out myself um and then again
14:13
it tells you all of the materials and
14:15
supplies that you are going to need I'm
14:17
already saying right here number line
14:19
strip flash card a place value chart
14:22
base 10 blocks addition flash cards
14:25
number chart number flash cards objects
14:28
for counter a whiteboard so it does not
14:31
give you everything that you need
14:34
calendar days of the week flash cards so
14:37
there's a lot more things that you're
14:38
going to need inside of this curriculum
14:41
that it does not come with that's some
14:43
homework you know that you would have to
14:45
do before you get started with this as
14:47
well as more money that you would have
14:48
to spend in addition count the children
14:50
in the pictures that should take a
14:53
minute or so Circle the top of the
14:55
ladder the bottom of the cup count five
14:58
trans right so lesson one is just two
15:00
pages that probably only takes five
15:04
minutes um maybe 10 I don't know it
15:07
depends on where your child is so let
15:10
see Circle the correct number the first
15:12
one the last one the middle one and then
15:14
trace and right count to 10 lesson two
15:18
is very simple so just doing a little
15:21
flip through I'm seeing that these
15:24
lessons are so easy Circle three things
15:28
in each row
15:29
put a green X on the circles Circle the
15:32
squares with a blue crayon tracing R
15:34
Circle the yellow TR so starts off
15:37
pretty
15:38
easy now let's get to let's say lesson
15:42
50 the lessons are still really
15:45
short I'm seeing about two
15:48
lessons two pages each lesson some of
15:51
them only have one page very short think
15:56
that it's not going to be a headache to
15:59
get through this if you're doing a
16:00
lesson per
16:06
day 45 - one with a number line so
16:12
that's
16:13
good
16:15
adding
16:17
um find the value of each set of coins
16:21
maybe having some coins on hand would be
16:23
helpful so I might buy some fake money
16:26
to use with this but
16:29
are definitely things that you probably
16:30
want to have just to go along with this
16:32
so I would look at this a week in
16:35
advance before like every single week
16:37
probably and get a general idea of what
16:40
we're going to do so we are going to be
16:42
starting this after completing the full
16:44
good and the Beautiful kindergarten
16:45
curriculum we did Horizon's preschool
16:47
for threes the good in the beautiful
16:49
preschool curriculum the good in the
16:51
beautiful prek and the good and the
16:53
Beautiful kindergarten so we have
16:55
completed a full kindergarten curriculum
16:57
already so I imagine that going through
16:59
this for my son might be a tad bit
17:01
easier because of that so while I'm
17:03
saying like oh looks pretty simple and
17:05
things like that again it just depends
17:06
on where your little one is my son just
17:09
turned five he's only been five a couple
17:11
of weeks he finished up the good and the
17:13
Beautiful kindergarten curriculum just
17:15
before he turned five but in doing
17:17
kindergarten again over the summer this
17:19
just helps me to make sure that he'll be
17:20
fully prepared when we begin first grade
17:22
so I'm thinking we'll be doing this for
17:23
the rest of the year and then in January
17:27
we will start first grade hope hopefully
17:29
he will finish up with his first grade
17:31
curriculum and you know next summer or
17:34
maybe next spring just before he turns
17:36
six years old the reason I am doing this
17:39
again is because we don't take a summer
17:41
break we only take like short breaks
17:43
like as far as weeks and then leave a
17:45
little room for if we ever have
17:47
something come up or we go on vacation
17:49
or for instance the baby that's going to
17:51
be coming this summer I don't want to be
17:53
diving into a brand new like great level
17:56
up curriculum they would require me
17:58
introduce in New Concepts with him doing
18:01
kindergarten again some of these
18:03
Concepts I will just be reiterating and
18:05
a lot of he may be able to just sit down
18:07
and do by himself which would be very
18:09
very helpful for me and so far I'm
18:12
really liking what I see with this
18:13
curriculum I've always likeed the design
18:16
of this curriculum even though the good
18:17
and the Beautiful curriculum is really
18:18
beautiful I think like it's gorgeous I
18:21
don't know there's just
18:22
something maybe it reminds me of my
18:25
childhood like there's just something
18:28
about
18:29
these curriculums the horizons
18:32
curriculums that I really like it's
18:34
colorful straight to the point and no
18:38
fluff maybe that's what it is so we're
18:41
moving right along you guys now we're
18:42
going to move on to the phonics and
18:45
reading curriculum so first off it comes
18:49
with four phonics and readings books so
18:51
these are the four readers that they
18:53
come with and they are progressive
18:55
meaning that the reading levels gets a
18:57
little bit difficult as you know
18:59
progress through the curriculum they do
19:01
align with the curriculum in the
19:03
worksheet in the lessons itself and it
19:06
has multiple books inside of one reader
19:10
so this one has 40 stories in the first
19:14
reader
19:16
so if all four of these are going to
19:19
have 40 stories and then I'm just going
19:22
to go ahead and guess that there are
19:23
also 160 lessons so plenty of room for
19:28
reading reading practice which I love
19:30
because you get better at reading with
19:32
repetition the more you do it books they
19:34
can be expensive unless you're thrifting
19:36
are you ordering from Thrift Books but
19:38
even still that can get expensive
19:40
sometimes where you read a book and then
19:41
you're ready for another one so the fact
19:43
that you get 160 stories there is so
19:47
much room for practice I love that and I
19:50
think that is something that we need so
19:53
we probably will not need to be going to
19:55
the library multiple times this summer
19:58
which to be hon is I don't like going to
20:00
the library and I know what homeschool
20:02
mom does not like the library I would
20:04
rather make our own Library even if that
20:06
means thrifting books or purchasing
20:09
books from Thrift Books and things like
20:11
that I rather go that route instead of
20:14
borrowing and returning books and I
20:16
don't know I just want to build a home
20:17
library that is my goal so I try to pick
20:21
up books whenever I see them on sale and
20:23
just add them to our library but I'm
20:26
super happy this curriculum comes with
20:28
160 stories appear to be more like
20:32
maybe a paragraph for instance this one
20:34
is just a paragraph not a full book but
20:37
still reading practice so not a full
20:39
book but still some good practice the go
20:41
of the beautiful they had like their
20:44
Reader books that came with the
20:45
curriculum where for instance this is 1
20:47
2 3 four five sentences they might have
20:50
one sentence on each page so you flip
20:53
through and read the story and it might
20:55
be the same length but they will be on
20:56
different pages but it didn't go with
20:58
we'll see how we like this style of
21:00
reading like reading in a paragraph As
21:02
opposed to flipping through the pages it
21:04
might be easier because my son he used
21:07
to struggle with being able to turn like
21:09
the pages sometimes he would be getting
21:10
the pages stuck together turning
21:12
multiple Pages at once so this might
21:14
help you know limit that issue so those
21:17
are the different readers we have an's
21:19
cat we have Mike's Bike van scarecrow
21:26
and clim snake and and it does tell you
21:30
that it also includes comprehension
21:32
questions at the end of each story
21:36
things to talk about in the story so
21:37
that you're not just reading the story
21:39
but you're going a little bit beyond for
21:41
the teacher's guide let's start with the
21:44
first one here so this is for lessons 1
21:48
through 40 so there are four books and
21:50
each one has 40 lessons it gives you of
21:53
course the overview the scope sequence
21:55
the materials and supplies that's going
21:57
to be needed for the lesson and teaching
21:59
tips answer keys teacher notes and
22:02
student pages so that's what happened to
22:05
the floor puzzle so the Flor puzzle is
22:09
26 letters of the alphabet but you
22:11
actually have to cut it out I was
22:13
expecting it to be somewhere in the box
22:15
but you have to make it so I have a
22:18
wooden alphabet puzzle so I don't think
22:20
that that's going to be needed for us
22:22
and we started doing like the wooden
22:23
alphabet puzzles when he was like 2
22:25
years old just know that you would have
22:28
to make it um so yeah it comes with an
22:32
alphabet story and an alphabet poem The
22:34
Curriculum overview is spelling
22:36
alphabetizing rhyming vocabulary
22:38
development sentence structure including
22:42
statement question and exclamation
22:44
sentences puzzle and makeup words
22:47
phrases and sentences for accurate
22:49
decoding auditory skills and a
22:51
recognizing of spoken word complete
22:53
sentence identification nouns verbs
22:56
pronouns apostrophe for possession
22:58
contractions realistic choices yes or no
23:01
could be or could be not so I can
23:03
already tell that there's a few more
23:04
things in here that we haven't learned
23:06
yet with to get in the beautiful
23:07
curriculum it has a lesson planner
23:09
lesson one would be going over letter a
23:13
lesson two would be letter B let's see
23:17
lesson 25 is letter Z and then by lesson
23:20
27 we're doing
23:23
T um lesson 29 CH and then 30 is wh and
23:28
then 31 would be t h c h n wh so it does
23:34
I forget the method that they call this
23:37
but basically you won't see something
23:39
learn it and then you never come back to
23:42
it again is what I'm trying to say but
23:45
it does progress the first 25 lessons is
23:47
going over single letters later in it
23:50
you'll be going
23:51
to consonant Blends like C this one also
23:56
covers silent letters in the r for
23:58
silent letters which is good because my
24:00
son never really fully understood that
24:03
um but I explained it to him briefly so
24:05
I'm glad that they actually have some
24:07
you know a few lessons not just one
24:09
lesson on it then eventually when you
24:12
get later in the lesson you have ending
24:14
sounds like ing G um short and long
24:18
vowels beginning and end this is a lot
24:20
of stuff for kindergarten I don't recall
24:24
doing any of this in kindergarten maybe
24:25
some of it but for me I remember
24:27
kindergarten being pretty fun like most
24:30
of the time we were playing or singing
24:31
the alphabet um coloring activities
24:35
things like that there's a lot of stuff
24:37
in this kindergarten um but again that
24:39
is I love that I love the good challenge
24:41
if he is capable then why not the good
24:45
and beautiful I think that it does teach
24:47
a lot of Concepts but it does so a lot
24:51
easier I don't know it just seems like
24:53
an easier curriculum to me so if we ever
24:56
plan to do both Horizons and and the
24:58
good and the Beautiful we would always
25:00
start with the good and the Beautiful
25:02
and then we'll do Horizon before we were
25:05
doing preschool we did preschool for
25:07
three's Horizons it was kind of the same
25:10
concept as the good and beautiful
25:12
preschool but we did Horizons first we
25:14
were doing it when he was 2 and a half
25:16
and he caught on very easily and very
25:18
well by the time he finished The
25:20
Horizon's curriculum he was more than
25:22
ready for the good and the Beautiful and
25:23
he kind of just flew through the good
25:24
and the Beautiful preschool curriculum a
25:26
lot of it was things he already knew so
25:28
I do think that the Horizon's curriculum
25:30
is a tad bit more difficult than the
25:32
good and the Beautiful this is letter
25:34
sounds it being a vowel Beginning Sounds
25:38
some tracing okay one thing that I did
25:40
read is that The Horizon's kindergarten
25:43
curriculum has a lot more Writing
25:45
Practice than the good and the Beautiful
25:48
it doesn't have its own separate
25:50
handwriting course but there's a lot of
25:51
handwriting inside the course and even
25:53
though the good and the Beautiful had a
25:54
separate handwriting course I still
25:56
think that there's more writing inside
25:57
of this curriculum so about two pages
25:59
per lesson as well this one has a lot
26:02
more writing I'm seeing like writing on
26:06
almost every page and by the end of just
26:08
the first book we are looking at senten
26:11
sentence Writing Practice so that is
26:13
something that I think is going to be
26:15
great something he needs more of okay I
26:18
think that this curriculum is pretty
26:21
straightforward um I'm not going to do a
26:23
full flip through but I did see a full
26:26
flip through before I purchased this
26:27
curriculum on YouTube of someone just
26:29
going through each book and just
26:31
flipping through it that was like the
26:32
entire video and I did look at that but
26:36
um I think it's pretty straightforward
26:38
teacher guides are going to be very very
26:40
helpful I love that there is a ton of
26:44
practice of reading and writing inside
26:46
of this book as well as a name lying on
26:48
every page for them to write their name
26:50
at the top of every page something that
26:53
I think you know you should have in a
26:55
curriculum I also love that the health
26:58
curriculum is very very Christian based
27:02
but I can see that inside of the math
27:04
and the phonics it's not as heavily
27:07
Christian based like not a lot of
27:10
Christian lessons inside the book I'm
27:13
pretty sure that I might come across a
27:15
little bit here and there but it's not
27:16
and it doesn't contain like a Bible
27:18
reader like our preschool curriculum
27:20
does now we never fully made it through
27:23
our Bible reader from the preschool
27:24
curriculum so I'm thinking that I will
27:27
just go ahead and pull the Bible reader
27:29
back out from our preschool curriculum
27:30
and we will go through that Bible reader
27:33
and then I think that the actual
27:34
preschool one came with like Bible
27:37
verses that you can cut out in the back
27:39
of the book as well so we'll probably
27:41
get like some affirmation cards and just
27:43
use our Bible supplemental work that we
27:46
have besides that I'm excited to dive
27:49
into this curriculum um I personally
27:52
also like to go out and purchase
27:54
manipulatives myself so like where it
27:56
says that there are some m materials
27:58
that you are going to need I'm more than
28:00
likely going to start at the dollar
28:02
store and then I'm going to you know go
28:04
through and see what we are going to
28:06
need but I am going to sit down and go
28:09
through the lon plans and look at it
28:11
highlight a few things that I need to
28:12
remember as well as the materials that
28:14
I'm going to need we probably have a lot
28:16
of the stuff already on hand but I think
28:18
this is going to be a really good correc
28:19
for him to work on through the summer
28:21
and maybe throughout the end of the year
28:23
I'm going to see how he does with it and
28:25
then of course I'm going to be updating
28:26
you guys Midway through the curriculum
28:29
to give you guys like another review of
28:30
how things have been going for us but so
28:33
far I really really like this curriculum
28:35
um I love the good and the Beautiful as
28:37
well so I don't think like there's
28:39
anything that I prefer over the other
28:41
one right now not yet as of right now
28:44
I'm always stuck between the two of them
28:46
because I really love two of them so far
28:49
so let's see if that changes by the end
28:51
of this curriculum my initial review of
28:54
it is a pretty good one it comes with
28:58
lots and lots and lots of lots of
29:00
learning I think that that is going to
29:02
pretty much sum up my curriculum
29:04
unboxing I feel like I went as much in
29:07
depth with the unboxing as I could
29:09
opposed to like doing an actual flip
29:12
through and then I can't wait to get
29:14
started and give you guys more of a
29:16
review for you know what I have here so
29:19
