Hi Friends!
I want to share something really fun today! This past month we have been doing the 30 day free trial of a new-to-us video platform called PureFlix! I really like that this platform offers faith based kids shows that I can't stream from Netflix or Hulu. They also have a whole page dedicated to homeschool resources!

In our new house we do not have a TV so we rely on watching shows on our laptops. We prefer this because we watch so much less TV than we did before and we can be more intentional with our choices when we choose to watch something. The other day I surprised the girls and set up the their play stand as a snuggly movie nook...
That is Claire's serious movie face. If the music is even mildly thematic she gets a little stressed. Movie watching is serious business! Haha!
Don't forget the popcorn!
While browsing options on the homeschool page on Pureflix.com, I had an idea to make a Classical Conversations Cycle 1 Match-up! Some weeks were harder to find something for than others! Some of these choices are a bit more than what my girls are ready for but they would be great for older students!

There are so many options for Science!
PureFlix isn't just for kids! They have lots of movies including October Baby and Beyond the Mask! Beyond the Mask was made by a team of 400 homeschoolers! Check out Robert Bortins (CC's CEO) review of the movie!
*Please note: It's summer and we are looking forward to Cycle 1 and not currently in it yet, so I have not previewed each of these movies. Please be sure to check that they meet your families entertainment standards and your childrens age appropriateness before watching anything from this list! Some of the videos that I selected are a bit above my girls level.
You can try Pureflix.com for free for 30 days!
