 Hi you guys my name is Brittany and welcome back to my YouTube channel. You guys in today's video I'm going to share with you my huge amazon book haul. I cannot wait to share with you guys all the books that I have added to our homeschool library. So you guys if any of you are new here to my channel again my name is Brittany. I am actually a homeschooling mom to three girls ages 10, 3 and 2. I'm in my second year of homeschooling. So you guys I cannot wait to share with you all the books. The first books that I am going to share with you guys are going to be for like my preschoolers. Right now me and my preschoolers we are actually really enjoying playing preschool. We are doing our colors unit. I had to check out a lot of books from our library and of course when you check out books from the library you have to go ahead and purchase some to add to your home library. So out of our colors unit I just picked out the books that my daughters they just always wanted me to read to them over and over again. The first book that we read was 10 black dots and this is such a cute picture book for little toddlers when you're teaching them early counting skills. I really love the illustrations in here and they are really enjoying this book right here. It was a really cute activity with the 10 black dots. So I'm really happy to add this one to our homeschool library. We also have mouse paint. You guys they really enjoyed this mouse paint book when I was showing them how you mix colors to primary colors and they change into our secondary colors. This is just a really cute book you guys of these three little mice and they got into three jars of paint and of course as they got into the jars of paint they was falling into the other jars and they were learning that different colors mixed together and made another color. So this was such a cute book and teaching primary and secondary colors. I know this concept may have went over their head a little bit but I am so happy to have this book that I can go over it with them over and over again. Another book was definitely a big hit was freight train. You guys they love freight trains so much. I loved it because of how bright and illustrated the colors are. Of course my girls right now they're like in this train kick so they're loving trains in itself. So this was such a cute book for us to go over as we did our colors unit and I'm so happy that I added this one into our home library. I actually purchased the paperback books instead of like the heart covers. My daughters they're actually getting a lot better with books so I think I may be able to start getting more like paperback books instead of like board books for them because they're actually doing pretty pretty good. So yeah I'm really excited to add these books in our home library. So you guys my middle daughter Leia she's actually in speech therapy and the speech therapist has recently been reading like really really good literature books to her and she's really really been enjoying all of the book selections that she's been reading to her. So of course I had it to add some of them to our home library. The first book that my daughter speech therapist read to her it was called the snowy day and you guys this book is so cute. It follows along a little boy Peter and all of his adventures he had on their snowy day and it was such a cute book. My daughter she really enjoyed reading this with the speech therapist. The speech therapist had like a whole bunch of games and activities that she did after they read the book and I just had to get this one for her. We live in Georgia you guys and we actually don't have any snow. When we do get snow it's like dusting. It's not real snow so for her to be able to experience snow in a picture book I thought that that was you know it was really cute. Another book that her speech therapist read to her and she really enjoyed was froggy gets dressed. You guys this is such a cute little story about this frog and he wants to go outside and play in a snow and each time he goes outside you guys he forgets to put on like another article of clothing and my daughter she was laughing so hard when we were doing this book for her a speech therapy session so I had to get this one for her. As we are closing out winter I feel like this was definitely a good one to add to our home library and the last book that my daughter really enjoyed for her speech therapy sessions was the mitten and I think this one is really just a classic so I'm really happy to have this one in our home school library. Again you guys this book it's a classic and the illustrations are so beautiful and they definitely love this one. Now you guys I don't know about you but I am done with winter. I'm over it I'm over the cold. I am ready for like our warmer days here in Georgia you guys I we have probably like four more weeks of the cold and we will start getting into like the upper 60s uh um low 70s. Weather is pretty pretty soon so I went ahead and I started collecting some books to add to our spring library collection. The first book I have you guys is goodbye winter hello spring and now I actually have all of the books in the series. I have what is it goodbye autumn goodbye summer hello autumn and I also have goodbye autumn hello winter and these are really really good books to teaching your younger ones about the seasons and how they change. Again these books right here you guys they have beautiful illustrations and I love them so it's just showing winter going into its clothes and they are going to end off in spring and look how pretty that is. So yes I'm really excited to add this book to our bookshelf really really soon. I also have lola plants agar and this is one of our first lola books so hopefully my toddlers will love it. I mean look how cute that is. So they have a whole bunch of books in the lola series so if they enjoyed this one right here you guys of course I will probably add a few more into their collection so I'm really happy to have this one. Another new one we are adding to our library is the honey bee and again this is a really cute book. Hopefully I can do a bug unit with my toddlers. I have the purely preschool insect unit that I can pull out and I think that these books right here will be such a good book to add to our edition when we do like our bug unit this spring so I know they're going to really enjoy this one. Another classic in the homeschooling community is the gardeners. We are the gardeners by Joanna Gaines and her kids so I had to get this one you guys. This again is just a classic and hopefully the girls they will enjoy this one as well. So you guys I went ahead and I've got my first big book of and this one right here is the big book of bloom of the blooms and this just goes over all of the different types of flowers. You guys look how beautiful that is oh my goodness. So I am so excited to dive into this book. Last year we planted some flowers in the spring and I definitely know my daughters are going to enjoy planting and getting outside. We actually did a botany unit last spring. This spring we're actually not going to do like a specific unit when it comes to plants or anything like that. However we're still going to go outside. We're going to get our hands dirty and I definitely know they will enjoy this book right here. This book actually has five in the collection. What is this the big book of the bloom the big book of birds the big book of beasts and the big book of bugs. So hopefully as we go through these I can collect some of the other ones as well so I'm happy to have my first big book of. These right here are two books that we have from last spring that I just wanted to go ahead and add into today's video and the first one is A Seed Is Sleepy. This one you guys was such a beautiful book to add in our botany unit as we were talking about seeds and my daughter was able to see different types of seeds how they are planted and it was such a beautiful way for us to go over seeds and I really enjoyed this one. The illustrations are so beautiful and we learned a lot from this one. Along with that one I went ahead and I got a butterfly it's patient. I was really hoping to do like some type of bug unit last year. However we never got a chance to like really get into one so hopefully we can really dive into this book this year and again this has just such beautiful illustrations. I really want to get like one of those butterfly kits for my daughters. I really think they will enjoy watching the caterpillar turn into a butterfly so I think I'm going to do that for them this spring and then we'll have this book right here to read just to kind of get out of the monotony of just our regular everyday routine with the you know curriculum and the books for us to do like a really fun activity. I think that they will enjoy this one with the butterfly kit as well. So you guys I really wanted to up my game when it comes to my toddlers. I know they're getting older and I really wanted to have like some type of reference book for them that's gonna have just like all of the things that they need to learn and they are learning. So Christy from These Little Sprouts she actually mentioned this book on her Instagram page and I had to get it and this is called The Encyclopedia of Very Important Things by DK and again this book right here you guys it is so cute. It goes over everything. It goes over the important things about the planet, places, animals. It goes over people, important things about me so it goes over your body and it's also just other important things like colors and shapes and fruit. You guys this is such a cute reference book for just early elementary. I mean look at that it's so adorable and it really does touch on like a lot of really important things and I really feel like some of these pages right here you guys I can go over with them right now so I am really really excited about this reference book right here. Now you guys it is Black History Month and I'm so excited to continue to read all of the new books that we added to our library as far as Black History Month. So I'm gonna go ahead and share with you guys some of the books that I probably already shared in my other video but I just want to touch on them again and the first in the book we have is I Affirm Me and you guys this is such a beautiful book. Look at that. Look at the little girls. I'm gonna read this page to you. It says A is for Afro. I'm proud of my textured halo. It shows pride in my roots. Each coil creates my crown. You guys that's so cute and look at the little girls they're doing science. That is so cute so we have been really enjoying this book right here for Black History Month. Me and my daughter we have only been picking like one letter a day and she's really been enjoying reading this one. Another new book that we added in our library is the ABCs of Black History and again you guys this book is really beautifully illustrated. We only go over like one letter a day because my daughter says she wanted this book to last. I mean look how beautiful that is. So I'm so excited to have this new book in our library for Black History Month. Now another reference book that I added to our library again is another DK book. You guys Tori from the Oglesby Ohan she has me addicted to DK books. They're really really good. I think I have like five of them now so this is like my six DK book but that just really good for when you just need a quick reference. You need a quick you need to be able to look up something really really quick. You can just grab one of your reference books off your shelves and this has probably been like my biggest tool that I have been using since I started homeschooling. So I'm really excited to add this one which is the timelines for Black History leaders legends and legacies and this book you guys has been beautiful. I really love the layout of this book and my daughter has been enjoying reading this book as she's learning different people within Black History. So yes I'm really excited about this one. And you guys I have two more books that I have recently added to our homeschool library. Now these books right now I am actually reading them. My daughter she will read them soon. My daughter you guys she has been asking me more like critical questions when it comes to history like why did that group of people do this or what was their motive what was their reasoning behind this. And it's going beyond me being able to just pull off our American history encyclopedia and just showing her dates and timelines. She's really challenging me when it comes to history. So I am re-educating myself you guys when it comes to history and right now I am actually reading Howard Zenz a young people a young people's history of the United States. So I really have been enjoying this book you guys. I'm only on the what is it the second or the third chapter of this book and I have been learning so much. We will use these books as spines when it comes to our American history curriculum for next year. However I want to read them so when she asked me those questions I can be able to give her an answer that she's looking for. So I am reading this one right now and another one I have is an indigenous people's history of the United States for young people. And again these two books are allowing me to be able to answer those questions for my daughter in a way that I feel like I was unable to answer right now. I mean when it comes to history you guys I am re-learning and hopefully I can give my daughter a good American history experience and hopefully these books will help me to be able to help teach her. So yeah so you guys those are all of my Amazon book hauls. I really hope you enjoy seeing all the new books and the new goodies that I'm adding in my home school. So you guys thank you so much for watching today's video. I hope you leave feeling inspired and ready for spring just like I am. So you guys I look forward to seeing everybody in my next one. Bye.
