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
