Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool

What’s New

Look here to see what’s new on the site. Newest things will be at the top of the page, so you can always peek in to make sure you’re not missing something going on. The most recent thing added is in orange.

Coming 

  1. Spanish 4 is being added this fall. It will not be a regular course, but we’re putting something together that gives a weekly assignment instead of a daily assignment. It will also have an optional live weekly class like the other levels.
  2. In spring 2022, maybe all of our math books will be getting an update, so don’t order ahead. We’re even trying to create answer books with everything worked out. 
  3. English 8 OFFLINE will be out this spring. It’s getting an update. We’re switching out Shakespeare’s The Tempest with Romeo and Juliet.
  4. Algebra 1 Offline – We should have a book ready for Algebra 1 ready this spring. 

April 2021

All-in-One Updates

  1. Kindergarten is now Kinder Math and More, Kinder Writing, and Learn to Read. Kinder Writing can be used offline and KinderMath now has a printables book.
  2. Learn to Read is split into two different courses: Sight Reading and Phonics.

March 2021

All-in-One Updates

  1. We’re rolling out the changes to Kindergarten over Easter week. You can continue to use the current courses. Learn More Here
  2. English 8 is getting a new name, Literature and Composition I. The current Lit and Comp course is becoming Literature and Composition II.
  3. Spelling – I created a spelling course for any kids who struggle with it. The daily practice includes phonics patterns and sight words. Here’s the link to the course. There is a placement test (pdf) at the top of the course page. You can put it on My EP using the Electives block on the Settings page and clicking on Previous Course to the beginning. You can also use any of the Electives blocks on the Extras page. It’s the first course on the list. Click on Previous Course.
  4. I added some new songs to the My EP dance break. I also added some new random images to our spelling game. And, I added new colors to the random background of the quizzes.
  5. Placement Test – I made placement tests to help new people find the best levels in reading, math, and language arts for their children. This can be found linked on our placement guides page. It is not an assessment. It would need many more questions for that. It just checks a few key things to see what a child needs to cover to help place them in our specific curriculum, not at a certain grade level.

February 2021

All-in-One Updates

  1. The McGuffey Primer course got an update adding in more activities for counting to 20.
  2. We’ve begun working on editing the history courses to remove some of the language such as “savages” and other such terms for different people groups (don’t really want to list it all). Last year we worked on all the reading courses and republished the readers after changing the language the best we could within the context. We’re doing our best with all of our old materials that we use since that’s what is in the public domain. Former versions of the readers already out there, audio versions, and materials we don’t have access to change haven’t been edited.

January 2021

All-in-One Updates

  1. King Will Make a Way – I’m going to have monthly meetings where people can gather to discuss the book, ask me questions about EP, end times, Bible, and we can just talk Jesus. You can come once or come monthly.
  2. Good Morning, Lord – This is a new Bible study going on the site. There is a two-minute video for each day teaching a Bible lesson. 
  3. Leadership Experience is starting again at the end of this month. It will run through February. It should run again in April.
  4. History Alive Competition starts this month. Entries are welcome January 15th – February 15th.

Added During December 2020

All-in-One Updates

  1. I’ve made a new store. It has an advertising page for EP families to submit (for free) a 125 pixel x 125 pixel image and a link. It also has our book request form. I took it down before because it would sometimes get shared around on Facebook outside of EP, and we’d suddenly get a slew of people asking for free books. These were people who didn’t even use EP, just wanted free homeschool books. Everyone loves free things, but it’s not free. It was me going to Amazon and buying books for them. The book request is just for those who really can’t use the free curriculum online and can’t afford the books. We need to keep it limited so we can keep offering it. We do want to enable people to homeschool, and we’re doing what we can to make it possible. (This will soon be linked onto the site directly where we link to the store currently. You can email me now with an image and link for your family business advertisement.)
  2. Geography and Cultures and Earth Science now have printables books. Now all of our history and science courses on All-in-One Homeschool have our own worksheets. You can now easily print them all at once from the packet or buy them inexpensively as a workbook.
  3. I’ve recorded myself reading my book, The King Will Make a Way, so we now have the audio version in the lessons as well (Reading 7).

My EP Updates

  1. Your child’s books have their own page. Instead of surfing the store, any books available for your child’s specific courses will be shown to you. I know this will make it a lot easier. You can find the link at the bottom of the menu in the top right corner of the Settings page on My EP. Take a look.

Added During November 2020

  1. We’ve added a support page to help with log in troubles.

Added During October 2020

  1. The science fair opened for submissions.
  2. The Leadership Experience is underway. Registration is open for winter and spring.

Added During September 2020

My EP Updates

  1. Some new songs were added to the Dance Break playlist.
  2. Added some notes to Settings to hopefully help. Previous and Next are now Previous Course and Next Course.

All-in-One Updates

  1. Poetry videos were added to some of the levels to help students with comprehension.
  2. Registration is open for Leadership Experience.
  3. A support site has been added. It’s not too developed at this point. I’ve just started. I’ve made a couple of new videos and will work on more. The site keeps updating and my videos keep getting out dated! We are working on captioning all the videos. If one goes up without captioning, the captioning should be coming.
  4. We are working on changing “Day” to “Lesson” throughout the site. This will avoid the confusion of having a main “Day” number and then individual course “day” numbers. They are already called lessons on My EP. If you have a pre-update book that says “Day” and the site says “Lesson,” they are the same thing. Just the word changed.

Added During August 2020

My EP Updates

  1. The ability to change the email address on your My EP Assignments account if necessary.

All-in-One Updates

  1. Preschool got an offline course and new printables book in color. Amazon invited us to take part in a test of a lower-cost color book, and I thought preschool would be perfect for it.

Added During July 2020

All-in-One Updates

  1. I added a link to the site, 153love.net. It’s housing the miracle videos I made during the quarantine as well as some other teachings done by my husband. We also have started a collection of gospel messages in various languages. If you’d like to contribute to that, please email me at allinonehomeschool@gmail.com. We have the English version written that you can use to translate. Finally, it is housing the new videos we are making of the Bible translated into Romani, the language of the Roma (Gypsies). Quarantine also paved the way for more time for my husband’s former language teacher to pursue translation work. We’re working with him on that and turning them into videos since it’s an unwritten language.
  2. Books were updated to say Lesson instead of Day. (We’re still working on updating the answer keys to match.)

Added During June 2020

My EP Updates 

    1. See your child’s assignments on one page! This was a long time coming, but I wanted to give this to our families that used to use levels and lost those when we switched to using My EP. We will keep working on it to get the look of each course uniform and will maybe be working towards showing just the lower or higher levels, etc. NOTE: Although maybe someday the kids assignments will use a system like this, for now, your students can’t just use this page for their work. Besides not having a way to mark work complete to move forward, courses without assignments won’t show up, such as Thinking. It will just say “Thinking” without showing an assignment since they are just to pick an activity from the page. However, I do hope this will be a big blessing to those who felt like they lost something when we moved to the new system. We call this a “Preview” of the students assignments. You can find the links to it on the student choice page and on the settings page.

All-in-One Site Updates

    1. The 2020 Pre-Algebra course is in for the old one. If you still want to use the old one and haven’t finished it yet, find it in the sidebar menu of the site.
    2. Early American History now has a printables book. (Zoology came out in May.) 
    3. Pre-Algebra now has a workbook and lesson guide for an offline course. 

Added During May 2020

  1. My EP Updates

    1. Parent Add-Ons can be found by looking for the link under the course blocks on the Settings page. There are three blocks where you can add your own links and/or “course” titles.
    2. Thinking courses have their own pages. At the top of each page is the link to the full page of all the possibilities for every level. Chess school is now linked for individual lessons (Thinking 3).

  2. All-in-One Updates

    1. Step 1 (Math 5) and Step 2 (Math 6) are now Math 5/6 and Math 6/7.
    2. We are losing our peer editing site. Most people did not participate in it anyway. We’re going to encourage everyone to find a peer editing partner locally, someone your family knows who can read the one or two essays during the course of the year. We’ll provide guidelines to give them to get feedback. Ideally, your child would do the same for the other child. The goal would be to get someone in the same grade, but at least find someone to read and give feedback, even if it’s an adult.
    3. Flash is basically gone. There are a few traces of it as we wait on some things. We’ve been replacing a lot of Flash things with our own material, meaning material we won’t lose in the future. Yay! This, for one, is making our sites more mobile friendly.
    4. We now have EP Gear. We’re using a site where we can upload a design and then it just puts it on all of their product offerings automatically, so there are tons of options. Like our books, we’re keeping profits minimal to make them as low cost as we can. We know shirts and things are asked for, so now we have them always available. PLUS, we can add in new designs any time. Let me know if you have something you want. I made a 2020 Graduation shirt at someone’s request! The products are print-on-demand. They set the price. We just round up to .49 or .99. But, you are giving EP advertising by wearing our swag, so it’s good for everyone. Thanks for being EP proud!
    5. Zoology Printable books are now available! You can print yourself or purchase from Amazon. Find the links in the EP store!

All-in-One High School

    1. The EP Leadership Experience is running again in June. This is a free, two-month program for high school students. They meet with my husband and I weekly while preparing and carrying out a project where they partner with a business to raise money for a charity.

*This page was created May 2020, so before this point is sparse. I just put on some notes about some big new things that were added.

March 2020

All-in-One High School

We started Leadership Experience. This is a free, two-month program for high school students. They meet with my husband and I weekly while preparing and carrying out a project where they partner with a business to raise money for a charity.

2019

My EP Assignments

We started accessing the site through myepassignments.com instead of using levels or the site menu to jump around. It enables students to keep track of what day they are on, use varying levels for different subjects, and simplifies school. We added the feature of being able to reorder the main courses on the page and the ability to add double of a course (such as math or English).

All-in-One Homeschool and All-in-One High School

We started online competitions. We have short-story writing, science experiments, and history videos. They are held summer, winter, and spring. Look for EP Competitions in the menu to learn the specifics. Monetary prizes are given out to winners.

2018

All-in-One High School

We started live Spanish practice classes.
