Math facts are so important for your child to learn!! Here are some ideas and helps. ACE math can be overwhelming to the student at time with all the problems on a page. Some suggestions that might help with that.

Why we switched from BJU to ACE homeschool curriculum! ... Our homeschool journey!
Просмотров 7 тыс.3 года назад
Been homeschooling for 3 years. Learning alot along the way! We started with BJU press distance learning and switched to ACE curriculum and LOVING it!!! Sharing with you who I am!!
We just started ace paces this year, thinking that it would be less than Abeka. With Abeka my son only needed to do two pages and that was to much for him. With this curriculum he has to do 3 to 4 to be able to finish in 3 weeks. 😢 He moves so slow we can't fit all classes in a day. Only if we do school all day and im not doing that. Any suggestions?
How long do your pages take to complete? How long is your honeschool day?
We use A.C.E. fkr Science! ❤ my son loves it.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm thinking of using ACE for this year coming up. I love your personality and I'm sad to see you haven't posted in a while. Would love a homeschool update. God bless you and your family! 💖
Hello how do I follow you on Facebook? We live in Mexico and we use ACE but was thinking to change to bju, your video helped me to understand pros and cons of cons we will stay to ACE. Thank you very much blessings!
I’ve been using A.C.E. from the beginning (fall 2020) and I tried some Abeka and another, but except for reading I’ve totally been doing A.C.E.. I’ve questioned recently if the reading is adequate enough in learning types of writing etc., and was thinking of doing BJU for 5th grade. Thanks for sharing this video.
We are KJV family too. Thank you for mentioning that. I am looking at the World Geography for next year.
We are from Illinois and homeschool too
yay!! love that!
Hi, I just started home schooling my grand daughter with ACE. Did you say that Christian bookstore has free shipping? I thought I heard that on this video or was it another one? I'm going back but I can't find it now???
Are you spending same amount of time on school work as a regular school?
I’m considering trying one of the ACE paces. Thanks for this video. Just subscribed. I also have a channel mainly about homeschooling and would love to be friends and connect here 😊
Why did you prefer CLE math over ACE math?
I am just now exploring ACE. What made you choose ACE instead of Masterbooks? Do you find it more difficult not to do family style teaching for some of the subjects?
We are using ACE. We starting it last year when my son was in 8th grade and it was absolutely amazing. We are using it again this year and we are so glad we are, not only is my son receiving a wonderful education, it is faith based, there is on-line classes, modules, labs for science and the cost is fantastic!!!
We are ending our 2nd year of using ACE. Took my son out of PS spring of 5th grade. It works for us!
So glad to find this channel
Thank you so much for this video! You were very helpful!
I love ace
Thank you for this video! I just ordered ACE, been homeschooling since my first was in kindergarten and I have finally realized ACE is just the best fit for us. I tried so hard to be a Charlotte Mason mom bit I couldn't handle it. This was so good to hear
Ewww hate ACE Just didn't like it as a child and turning one year into 2 or 3 years and I needed more help with it So no for me
Hi! Can you please link to the website you used to purchase your paces? I’m trying to re-watch the video to find it but am having trouble.
Curriculum Express is where I buy them. They ship really fast.
Did you still working on ACE with your homeschool kids?
Thank you for making this video! We are using Ace for my daughter grade 6 Science. I have 2 questions. Should we be using her level? I went down a level because it was new to us. How many pages per day? Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your story. We have used BJUPress over 18 years with six kids. The multiple assignments given by the teachers is created for different learning styles. The homeschool teachers plan the lessons for homeschool children in mind, not for Christian schools. All of my children all learn differently so we could pick out the assignments that fit their learning styles. I hope you give it another try in the future. :)
Would love an update on how ace paces is going for school year 2023…
Thanks for this. Yes not a lot of ACE videos.
Wow a tragedy in the school so bad that it shuts down. I've never heard of that
So glad I found your channel! I did ACE in the Christian School I attended. We are switching back to ACE after doing BJU the 1st semester. (it was just too much for us)
What does ACE stand for?
Accelerated Christian Education. You will be able to find more information by searching for A.C.E. school of tomorrow
My daughter is doing all 7 subjects of ACE - 3rd grade and this is our first year Homeschooling. My question is how are y'all finishing the Paces in 3 weeks? She's flying through the Bible ones (we do those together), but we do a 5 day work week and I had to split her schedule up: M-W-F: Math, W.B, English, Bible Tu-Thu: Bible, Science, S.S, Lit. We are doing 4 pages in each Pace a day. Are your kids doing 7 subjects a day?
We changed things up this year. My kids do 4 pages a day in each subject. Last year we did all subjects. We do school M-F. To finish a book in 3 weeks. You take the total number of pages in the book and divide it by 14 (15 school days in 3 weeks, but minus 1 day for the final test) that will tell you how many pages you need to do a day in that PACE to be able to finish in 3 weeks. I hope that makes sense. This year we are doing Math, Litature/Creative writing, WB, English as individual lessons and then we do something else for science and history together as a group since my kids are so close in age and it's working great! I'm so excited for you! I hope you have a wonderful year!!! We are loving our homeschool journey and so thankful I get to see my kids progress and learn new things!!
@@dimockfamily04 Thank you so much for replying and your advice ☺️ I am a single Mom and I have to work starting 3:30pm daily, so it already takes her 4 hours to get 4 pages of work done in 4 subjects a day... I can't imagine 7 🥹 I pulled my daughter out of public school this year as she was struggling badly in math & reading. She had an IEP in place that just started right before her 2nd grade yr ended. She tested positive for dyslexia but on the minor end. I feel 7 subjects for her is ALOT to do in one day. I want her to learn and digest the information not just get through the work just to get through it if that makes sense. I am about to put her in an outside tutoring source for math and reading. Idk, I just don't want her to get behind and I fail her as a mother with her education:(
@@ATZCMinistries Just take a deep breath momma! It's all going to work out. I remember our first year home schooling. I worried so much. Your doing a great job!!!!! I would focus on Math, WB, Lit/CW and English the most!
@@dimockfamily04 we do social studies and science as a group also.
Thank you! That was very thorough. ❤️
Did you order the home educator's quick guide to tell you how to use the curriculum? Or just bought the PACES we've been homeschooling 10 years and our current curriculum isn't working with the season of life we're in
Thank you for doing this video. You are correct when you said there are not many videos for ACE, not may positive ones at least. We have been homeschooling for about 21 years. We have used many curriculums in the past and time and time again, we went back to ACE. We now have one left in school and we will never change curriculums again. All that you described about ACE is absolutely correct. ABEKA and BJU (and others) are great, solid, curriculums as well as some of the specific subject curriculums. What I have found is that we felt like the tail was wagging the dog. The curriculum runs the homeschool. We can easily put way too much focus on all the fluff of the high dollar material. The wonderful thing about ACE is being able to customize it to seasons in life. Some seasons you have time to add extra learning with the curriculum and some seasons you don't, like when your dad was sick. ACE allows the child to get their core basics done in those seasons because of independent learning and being able to put it in a clipboard and take it where ever you go. There is so much more to homeschool than an elaborate curriculum with all the bells and whistles. Also, I, as well as many that I know, have used ACE through high school with their children and they did great in College. It's not so much about the curriculum as it is also the learner (individual). I hope my comment will help others who may be having doubts. So much more I could add............
You said you have a child in vision therapy. My son is legally blind and autistic. He's 12 but I think he is going to be doing 2nd grade work. How do feel about this curriculum with a visually impaired child?
I think his situation would be a lot different t from my son's. Thankfully his eye therapy has corrected his problem. The curriculum itself can be taught at whatever pace is needed for the student. The good thing about ACE is you can order just 1 single PACE for a few dollars to see if it is a good fit, before ordering it all!
Love this!! Thank you! I’m pretty excited to have found you! I think I’m changing after this year to ACE from Abeka kindergarten and your videos have helped so much thank you ❤️
yay!! You will love ACE!
Do you teach the kids or is it a video like BJU Distance?
ACE is a self taught curriculum. No videos at all. Of course with them being younger I do help them when they need it! We LOVE it! ❤️
Love this!
That’s a great idea brag tags
My son is 11 in 5th grade and really wants to be homeschooled! He was diagnosed ADHD at an early age and he really can't handle "long days" in school. I've talked to a LOT of parents that homeschool.. about how you can do a few hours here and there and take breaks. I plan to.. hopefully.. get out in the world and experience things. A kind of "hands on" situation for him. Yes, I only have one boy. My pastor is trying to talk to me about Abeka. His wife homeschooled all four kids with it. I'm hesitant. I follow Missionary Spencer Smith and he mentioned ACE. Missionary Spencer Smith helped me find my church. I might go with that.
@@Christ_in_ChristyI'm one full year into ACE. I hope PBI takes ACE graduates. I was recently on the fence about it and possibly going to a Christian school. They teach Abeka. My son doesn't ever want to do too much work. Quite honestly... school is about reading, writing and arithmetic. Everything else is life skills and gravy! I don't want to sweat it. Seriously wondering how things are going with the OP family. I do structure my sons schooling with the score cards. We "negotiate" getting the work done. I have no problem with that. I don't let him score it himself. I like that it is an "on the go" schooling.
Thank you!! I am boxing up our abeka books right now, and switching to ACE and this is making me feel so much better about my decision!!! Bless you!
Yay!!! I hope it goes GREAT for you! Best decision we made. We are loving ACE
My husband and I were both homeschooled with ACE. I ended up becoming a public school teacher. My gifted son was struggling so I decided to homeschool him. I have kind of fought using ACE and have tried several "good" curriculums. No complaints, it just didn't quite work. He is now 6th grade and I will be using ACE next year and bumping him up to Highschool. I absolutely hated ACE math growing up. My son will do ACE geometry + khan academy to break up the boredom next year.
We are still loving ACE... we do however now use strictly CLE math. My kids were struggling with the ACE math so the changing of that helped alot. I hope your son does great!!!!!
Are you using Christian Light math instead of ACE?
How many pages do you have the kids do in each subject per day? I couldn't seem to get my boy to complete 12 paces in 9 months of school.
Yay! Thank you for doing a video about ACE, like you said there aren't many out there and I appreciate all the info I can get before I invest in curriculum. We are just beginning our 3rd year of homeschool and I'm strongly considering switching to ACE. We tried Abeka when he was in K and I loved it but it felt too rigid somehow. We are believers so a Christian curriculum is a huge bonus and I need something very cost effective. I was homeschooled in the 80s and I *think *we used ACE, not positive but I know it was workbooks and looked just like these! I'm thinking I'll go ahead and order maybe 4 paces at a time and see how it goes!
Yay!! I'm so glad you found my videos! 😁 We are still loving ACE so much. My kids are learning so many new things and it is actually sticking! That is the plus about ACE, you can just buy a few paces and see if you like it, instead of buying it all and realizing it does not!!!
Hi im Just New to homeschooling , How do you keep Record for your kids?
Just subbed, about to check out some of your other videos! You deserve way more subscribers! Why don’t you use Promosm? It could help you get your videos higher in the search results!
You said your boys do10 paces a year. I thought they had 12 paces a year?
Sorry about that! ... I didn't realize I had said this. Yes we do 12 a year in each subject with ACE! ....
I just found the answer to my question ❤️☝🏻🙏🏻 thank you so much! I hope you and your family are doing well.
I'm so glad!! We are doing good. Looking forward to getting school started in a few weeks! Hope you have a great school year!
Thank you for sharing! I started homeschooling in 1987 before I knew anyone else was actually doing it. I have 1 teenager left at home. He’s in 9th grade. He uses Teaching Textbooks for math, Abeka for Science and literature. We just this year decided to try ACE for English. We are wondering how to tell where each daily lesson stops/starts. Can you help?
I think I answered your question in the other video you watched... but if not please let me know and I can explain! We LOVE ACE!!!
Thank you for this video. I've been struggling to know if I picked the right curriculum. I wanted insight from someone who has already tried it. I love that you have Faith in the Lord(added bonus)😉 I feel more confident in using ACE curriculum for my 4th grade son. I already purchased all the subjects about a month ago. God bless you and your family!❤
LOVE this! So excited for you! We are very happy with ACE. My kids love it so much and I see so much growth in them! We are going to be starting back to school in about 3 weeks! Excited to get back! Happy school year!!!
@@dimockfamily04 I wish the best for you and your sons as well! Can I ask for your prayers. I live in Massachusetts, a strict place for homeschooling. Last year was my first time deciding to homeschool my son which he has been happy about. I'm dealing with a little bit of self-doubt. I've been trying my best, but again I am fairly new to how things work, so I picked a curriculum last year that was in the form of a kit. It seemed all over the place and honestly I don't think it was a good fit for my son(everything was scattered in terms of books). Please pray that all goes well with our school district, and they give me the opportunity to continue to homeschool. I'm a member with HSLDA(Home School Legal Defense Association). I guess I have some anxiety. Thank you so much for your helpful tips and responding! God bless you!🙏
@@nicolemarie3258 all those things can definitely make you feel those feelings! I will for sure be praying fo you! Always remember, God is on your side and He will be with you every single step of the way! You’ve got this!
@@dimockfamily04 Amen! Thank you! You have no idea how much this means to me! May God bless you and your family greatly!!☺❤
