A winner! Some of my favorite parts are the week by week of the science lessons and the reading challenge breakdown. I love science, but I struggle with finding the "right" way to do it. The handbook lays it all out. I can adjust a bit, but no reinventing the wheel. I am very excited about the reading challenge. I am working on getting my 3 year old to pick out her own books at the library and now I can give us some focus.
The tips and notes in the handbook are like having coffee with a friend who has been doing this for years. Practical and sensible, with a side of "you got this."
But my favorite part of all is the weekly checklist. Hands down. I like to get things prepped once and leave them. The checklist allows me to do that. I put a week's worth of lessons in a box and we do them when we have the energy and time. When we checked all our boxes, the week is over. Sometimes that takes 5 days, sometimes it takes 10. But it doesn't matter because I gave myself some room for this. Then, I prep the next week. Easy as that. It has taken the stress out of planning and allows me to do what I love- spend time learning with my kids.
