This is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing. I will definitely be adding these to my lesson plans!
ReplyDeleteYou are more than welcome! It was quite a chore to put together so I wouldn't want someone else to go through the trouble when it's just easier to share. I think I like having the links all in one place more than my kids. They make for a great quick review! Hope y'all enjoy!
DeleteThis list is fantastic! My kids are both visual learners so I like incorporating videos to reinforce what we learned in our texts. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you like it. My kids are visual learners, too and these videos really help them. It makes what we've read about stick. Some of the songs are really great and we find ourselves singing them at the oddest times!! :) We had so much fun with them we just had to share!
DeleteJust wanted to say "THANKS SO MUCH" for putting this list together, I'm looking forward to using the links you provided this year!!! So sweet of your to share - thanks for all your hard work!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. I have just fixed a glitch that kept me from sending you a reply. I hope you are still finding the links helpful to you and your family.
DeleteThis is awesome! Thank you!!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry to be so extremely slow in sending a reply to your comment. I have just fixed a glitch that kept me from sending it. Thank you for your comment and I hope you are still finding the links on the site helpful. Blessings to you and your family.
DeleteThank you!! I love supplementing our studies with videos. This is quite a list and is very appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. I have just fixed a glitch that kept me from sending you a reply. I hope you are still finding the links helpful to you and your family.
DeleteWe are on week 31 and we have loved coming here once a week for a fun review of what we learned! Thanks so much for organizing these!! Many blessings to your family and homeschool journey!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad these are useful to you. I never dreamed when I started making these pages for my family that it would turn into such an extensive site. I hope I am able to keep it maintained so it will continue to be a source of fun for you and your family. We have some favorites that we still come back a watch. Thank you for the kind words.
DeleteJust wanted to take a quick moment to say thank you for ALL the work you have taken to compile this list of videos. My children and I have enjoyed just about every single one of them this school year! (the ones we haven't, would be simply because we didn't have time that week)
ReplyDeleteJust FYI - The Animated Story of Ruth week 19 is no longer available.
I am so sorry to be this slow in replying. The past few years have been very rough due to illness but I plan to go through all the links and fix them. Thank you so much for letting me know about the broken link and I am so glad you enjoyed the links.
DeleteWe are getting ready to start Creation to Greeks in a few weeks, this is an awesome find, please leave it up! I will be referring to it throughout the year, THANK YOU for your hard work putting this all together, it is amazing! How did you like the curriculum after you finished? We started homeschooling with Abeka but used My Father's World for the first time last year and really enjoyed it. Thank you again for this amazing resource!
ReplyDeleteI hope the site is helping you have a great school year! I know some of the links are broken and I will do my best to fix them as soon as possible. I plan to keep the site up and running as long as possible. We made our switch from Abeka to MFW trying to make our time together learning more enjoyable. I still struggle with being a "box checker" who has to do everything on the list but the MFW curriculum has been a much better fit for my kids. They like having different activities to choose from and the living books are wonderful. I have asked my kids a few times if they wanted to switch back (because some of the MFW high school work seemed harder than Abeka to me) and they always answered "NO!". :)
