Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

As a mom who has a homeschool website with a similar purpose, I know of a possible way to thank her and help her out. A friend who used some of her website said that some of her links are bad (the website she linked to is gone, or moved). Keeping up with links can be quite a job; if she intends to keep her site up to date and useful, I'll bet she would appreciate being alerted to bad links, and even better, some help tracking down links that have moved.

I know of a way to track down links that have moved, too. I'll put it in a spoiler.

There's a FB group for Easy Peasy users that is specifically for reporting problems w/ links, typos, etc. There's something new posted almost every day :tu

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

Anyone use it for K? My daughter knows all her letter sounds and we started with Getting Ready 1 day 172 like she recommends. My daughter hated the video but I wrote down the words and made a game and she did fine.
My question is can we really do a lesson in the reader everyday? Or is that really fast? How did you find it?

I cant get the mcguffy reader to play audio or print. This is a problem. Also figuring out where my kids fall in the middle of the year is complicated. My son loves the math games. It's a curve for me in planning.

There is no way P could do a lesson every day. We have been using EP for about 1.5 months and we're on lesson 11. :giggle We don't use EP every day for reading--we alternate with Bob Books and Explode the Code to reinforce ideas. Seeing words in different contexts is important for P--for a while he had me thinking he could read because he had memorized, word for word, some of the primers we were using. :no

There is no audio for the McGuffey book and you can get the readers here https://archive.org/details/mcguffeyseclecti00mcgu

That's good because I'm thinking that was a little intense for Pre-K :shifty

I think we're going to use the same concept except with the BOB books. I've taken the words and we play the POP game. It's much more fun that way since she really does NOT like the "Look at your words" video.

We just started using Easy Peasy with my 3rd grader 2 weeks ago. He really likes it.

Thanks, Glitterfish, for mentioning the FB group! Off to find it.

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

FB group is great.Its def way to have questions answered or to report any glitches or links not working etc.

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

Anyone who is using/has used this, how did you set it up so your kids could easily find what they needed to do each day? I saw on a blog that someone set up Evernote notebooks, but they didn't say anything further about it. Or were your kids able to navigate the site easily? And keep track of the days they were on?

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

That's a good question. We are no longer using it. (My boys didn't like it. We're too free spirited, I guess. :giggle :O ) But when we were trying it they kept asking me what day they were on. I had a notebook with where everyone was at jotted down. There has to be a better way than that to keep track, though.

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

I didn't like it. We tried...I am signing up for k12. :yawn I just feel like I'm not equipped to keep up, and though part of me feels like I'm giving up, it's not about me. It's about the kids being educated.

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

At the beginning of each level, I think she has a link to a sheet you can print out w/ the days all numbered, and you check them off as you do them. We don't do that, but it's there :shrug

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

We use it for HS French and the questions from Early American History. I also use the Math game links with my youngest.

I actually leave the pages up in different tabs so they are always on our browser. I printed out the chart with the days and it is great to keep me up to date with everyone. I also use the chart for our grammar program and for those doing TT Algebra I and Geometry--it helps me keep track of them.

We use the French I as written for one HS student and my 6th grader uses the video links from it. They both also use Duo Lingo and my DD uses Learnables French. The check off charts really help since we have so many different pieces going on at the same time.

I have 3 using High School Am History--
-one watches only the videos from EA History
-another uses my old AP history text and answers the questions posted --sadly I just gave her the last set and now I have to write my own ;-)
-I use the links of additional reading to either do with them or to assign.

I just put all the charts in one folder next to the computer so they can check off when they have done it and I can grab the folder at any time and know what is being done.
