Wow ! This is everything I have been searching for! Thank you

Thank you for this informative video. I used Abeka twice for kindergarten. I love their reading curriculum and how they teach cursive in kindergarten. After using Abeka for 8 years with 3 children I switched to BJU last year. I think I've decided to use BJU for kindergarten with my fourth child after watching your video.

Found you on BJU FB group. You did a fabulous job on this video. You answered questions I didn’t even know I had. I’ll be doing Focus on Fives and K5 Math (both DLO) this coming fall for my daughter and you really clarified what comes with the parent led and how much of that is not in the DLO. I was worried I should have added more things to my order but now I see they will be in the videos. My oldest just finished 6th grade with BJU DLO and we set hers up as weekly folders for each subject and that worked for her so I was thinking I’ll do daily folders (prepared weekly) for my kindergartner and see how that works. Great job 👍🏻 thank you

Thank you!

my daughter is doing the good and the beautiful pre school right now would she be ready for this kindergarten program next year?
-
I'm doing parent-led and can't read song notes. How on earth do I teach the songs to my child?
-
I have twins. What do I need to order two of so they each have their own, and then they can share the rest? Great video, I'm falling in love with this curriculum!

Hello, I order the DVD kit with nothing of the extras, which I think I should off? Thank you for this review!

My son just turned 4. I have two older kids doing school and feel like he needs to be doing something to help not be a distraction to my other children. I would prefer video as I have to really be hands on with my 11yr old. Would you put your 4yr old through this curriculum?
-
when you mentioned you had upgraded from parent taught to online videos at the beginning of the year, do you mean the beginning of the school year or the year as in January? also, how do you find this deal?
