Here are my goals for the next several months:
1. Finish Math Group 3 (at the moment there are 2 videos left to be made)
2. Film more lessons on the bells
3. Finish filming the Function of Words (verb, adverb, and command lessons)
4. Film the next chapter of the Absorbent Mind
5. Film the rest of Math Group 4 (exploration and memorization)
6. Post more study guides for AMI students
Personal Goal: Start my elementary training from NAMC and open a Christian, Conservative learning studio supplement for homeschool parents in my area. I'm working on a handbook right now that reflects the values of a strong Christian conservative education and allows for students to study creation as an alternative to evolution. The learning studio will encourage the use of the Socratic method. Science isn't about being right...it is about learning to ask powerful question.
Join me for Montessori-inspired lesson plans and ideas to challenge young readers with phonetic books. I will show different ways you can use phonetic books to assess if your child is reading or simply memorizing these booklets. These lesson will help your young reader think critically with simple phonetic booklets.
I review Christmas Clue, Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, Haunted Mansion Board Game, Unstable Unicorns, and Trash Pandas!
I'm currently working on the Math Group 4 video series, but after that I would like to spend some time working on a series about the development of the hand for writing. This should take us through Christmas. After that, I plan to begin a series on sentence analysis in January. Here are my goals for my series on hand development:
1. I want to make some videos on the "prepared adult" for the topic of sewing and show you how to embroider and give you some resources on how to sew some things for the classroom. This is essential for anyone who is or wants to go through AMI training, so I want to make some videos supporting people who need to gain more confidence in this area. Most training centers expect you to sew, even if you've never done it before, and I want everyone to be successful in their handmade materials. I also want to encourage all of you to incorporate more sewing into your classroom and homeschool environment if you haven't done that because it is great for hand ...
I'm hoping to start a book club with livestreams here on Locals. I plan to start with The Child in the Family. I'll drop a link to my affiliate link with Amazon down below if you would like to purchase it (I will suggest 2 different version depending on if you want the AMI version or the Free shipping version). I'm hoping to have guests on my livestreams, but that depends on availability throughout the year. If you can't afford the book, don't worry. I'll provide slides of my favorite quotes so you can join in the discussion (same as I do for The Absorbent Mind on YouTube). The Child in the Family is a smaller book with short chapters, so it's an easier read than The Absorbent Mind.

This is a free template you can use for the logical adverb lesson. I'm currently filming lesson 9 (introduction to the adverb) and then lesson 10, which will be the logical adverb lesson. This template is something you can use along with my adverb videos that I am preparing to film.
