@@elenahajda9291 yes, it is! I know that they are getting a good education, but it is rigorous. I try and make sure we mix it up with field trips etc! I hope you have a great year!

@@Dmari_07 Hi sorry for the delay in responding, but usually every quarter is about 42 lessons so a total of 4 quarters with 170 lessons total. So you would just add up the total grades, divide by how many there are and that would be his or hers average grade for that quarter. if you have the progress report that helps you to keep everything listed as far as what grades are received and for what class. I think they also also might be available on the Abeka website to print off. If you don’t use abeka then you can just keep track of the grades for 40 or 42 lessons and then divide and then that is his or hers average for that quarter.

Haha! That’s so funny! Sorry to make you worry for a moment! I thought I mentioned in there that we were changing maths because of the state that we live in and there requirements at least I hope I did that; I think I did! 😆 I hope you have a great homeschooling year this year and that everything starts well for you and your family! Junior year here we come!😊👍

@@ahallelujahplace Yes you did, it was just that brief moment when you pulled out the Algebra book and my mind went to panic mode, so much so I paused your video and got on Christianbook to see if i had made a mistake lol then when back to your video and you explained why, talk about a 🤦‍♀moment.

@@queenpeach7865 haha that’s great! I’m glad that you have the right book that you need! It’s horrible when you accidentally forget to order a book or get the wrong book I’ve been there!

@@ahallelujahplace yep it is lol

@@melissamiranda7322 Hi Melissa, yes, if you want to participate in the ceremony, you have to do accredited the senior year. of course if you don’t want to do accredited and you still use abeka, then you could do a graduation ceremony in your state. In Ohio we have churches and groups that put on their own graduation ceremony, but if you want them to do the graduation walk at Pensacola Christian Academy then they have to be accredited their senior year and have all the necessary credits which is what I’m doing with my children because they want to! You can check on the Abeka website and it shows you high school graduation requirements,course of study for high school etc I hope this answers your question!😊

@@ahallelujahplace thank you, I'll take a look at the website. Best wishes to you and your family.

@@melissamiranda7322 same to you, Melissa! ☺️

Hi! To make up the co-op days is really optional for us. The state of Ohio requires 900 hours of homeschooling time for the home school year and co-op counts as homeschooling hours. We are not a Abeka accredited, but we will be next year. However, we have completed the 170 lessons many times. We will start a month before the CC starts. Our local CC doesn’t go very long. They take about two months off for Christmas and they are usually done by April whereas we go to the end of May or the middle of June. We also do not take off some holidays so we make up the Abeka work on those days. I’ve also heard of people making it up on a Saturday. If your state goes to four days a week and you’re not accredited, I would just do school those four days a week and check your states homeschooling hours to make sure you get your hours in. I heard of some states going into four days of school each week. I do have some friends that homeschool their kids and only do four days a week but if you are accredited with Abeka then you may need to do the five! I hope this helps!😊

@@ahallelujahplace enjoyed your video and appreciate your quick response. Thanks!

@@Valentina-LA you’re welcome!

Thank you, Emily! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and same to you -good luck on your homeschooling journey! I followed you back on Instagram! 👍😊

Hey! We used Abeka geometry with the dvds. I sat through most of the classes with him and watched the DVDs along with my teen. I feel that if you choose the Abeka Geometry Curriculum then getting the DVDs would be beneficial. If I just look at the book and forget about the DVDs, I would be completely lost. I think the DVDs give a lot of information, show the constructions, and they actually get to see the professor doing the problems. Abeka geometry is advanced, so I’ve heard, and it was ruff, but I feel without the DVDs we would be completely lost. If you go on the Abeka website they have, where you can view a few of the geometry videos. They are old about 20 years old, but the information is still relevant. If you’re going to choose a whole different curriculum for geometry, some people do that too. I know people who use Saxon. I think Saxon combines geometry with a little bit of algebra. Some people use teaching textbooks which is supposed to be easier. That is an online Curriculum I believe. But if you’re going to use Abeka, I recommend the DVDs! I hope this helps! 😊

@@ahallelujahplace Thank you for your response. Yes this helps, we have used CTCmath and this math was given to us and I thought that having a book and working the exercises on a notebook would be better than on the pc, but if i need the dvds I might just stick to CTC.

Thank you for commenting! I thought they were good deals as well! I hope you and your family are doing well!😊

Happy Belated Birthday!! I’m in the same boat with you. In a few years my kids will be in college too, though I’m not rushing it. I’d like to think that God will show us what to do with that time when we get there?! Sounds like we will get there together as well and I’ll be here! 😊

You’re welcome!

Yes, they were!

Thank you so much! I’m glad that somebody enjoys these videos! Sometimes I think why bother but it’s nice to know that you look forward to them!! I hope you and your family have a great peaceful summer! 😊

Yay! I’m so glad the summers here too. I really need a break! I hope everyone is well with you guys and that you have a great summer as well. I have a lot to prepare for next year for school, but I’m trying not to think about it yet! 🤣

Thank you for commenting! Yes, 10th grade is hard isn’t it!?! But 🤣 But I feel in the end it is so worth the work for my son and me! Have a good week and I have more real life videos coming soon! 😊

Hi Melanie! That’s a good question! I think that there is a big jump from six grade math to seventh grade math! Of course, both of my kids were not gifted in math. I do think there is a big jump though! If he wants to get credit towards high school math he has to take those classes in high school. So for high school it’s usually algebra 1 algebra 2 geometry pre-calculus. I’m just thinking what would he take in eighth grade? Because I think in order for it to count as a credit for algebra one he would have to be in high school. You could always call Abeka and make sure. But for me, and since my boys are not gifted, they’re average in math though, I would not skip it for them. My oldest also got A’s and B’s. You could always try it and I think you have 30 days to return it? There are sample videos online for pre-algebra. Maybe have him watch some and see what you think? You can also sign up to get free watch hours, so you could always sign up for that and do a couple of lessons and see if he catches on quickly. I hope this helps! 😊

I’m glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful! 😊

Hi! I have never heard of that store! I’m going to have to check it out and see if we have one close to us or online! I’m really trying to buy less things 😔 everything is so expensive, but I always love a good deal! 👍❤️

Thank you! #momlife is exactly right and you are so right savor those moments- the good and not so good and get back to what really matters! Thanks for stopping by again! I hope everything is well with you and your sweet family!😊

Sarah, I enjoy her books as well!

Hello! it depends on if you will be using the parent lead for eighth grade or DVDs for eighth grade. I believe the DVDs are between 35 to 40 minutes each and if you have six classes then you can plan for about 5 1/2 to 6 hours. If you plan to parent lead then you can pick and choose what you will teach and how much time you will spend on each subject. I have been using the DVD since eighth grade and I still tweak the DVDs here and there such as fast forwarding things. Then there’s the homework assignments at the end of the lessons which you can also tweak here and there-such as I have them tell me the answers versus writing the answers down. I might have them write one answer to the questions and the rest they verbally tell me. Sometimes with math I only pick the problems they are having difficulty with for them to do, but usually with math they complete all of the homework. it also depends if you are accredited or not accredited If you are accredited then you have to do the DVDs you have to watch all of the DVDs and then you have to turn in certain tests, papers, etc. If you are unaccredited, then you can do either parent lead or the DVDs and you can pick and choose what you want to do. I hope this answers some of your questions! Thanks for watching and commenting. Let me know if you have any more questions! 😊👍

Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful for you! Thank you for subscribing!😊

Thank you, Joy! A teriyaki bowl sounds yummy! I’ve made a Greek bowl before but not teriyaki. I’ll have to look that up! 👍😊

Yep, I think that brand just recently came out with their own pizzas!

Hi Brenda! I have two kids one in elementary and one in highschool!

Thank you, Katelyn! I’m glad you liked it! Definitely need to do an about me video and put in my education! Thanks for commenting and I hope you and your family are doing well! 😊

I’m right with you 7 times repeating, and then it kind of sticks at least for my son. It doesn’t for me since I’m getting older. I think I need like 10 times repeating😆. I think classical conversations repeats the fact seven times in order to remember it! Thanks for the positive vibes from you as well! It’s hard work being a Homeschooling mom but it’s also very rewarding. I keep telling myself to think on the bright side. I just keep chugging along like we moms all do! Thanks for the encouraging comment!💕😊

@@ahallelujahplace ​​⁠ Just keep swimming, swimming swimming. What do we do we Swim 🐠 🐟 😅

The high school years can be some of the best! However, when it comes to work load it picks up quite a bit for the kids and for myself as a Homeschool Mom. I just keep telling myself that they are getting a great education with Abeka! It seems like you are working ahead, which is good! I will try and post more high school videos for you that focus on the High School Curriculum only and how we make it work. Maybe I could follow my son around for a day in his life with his schoolwork. 🤣 Either way I will try and post some thing for you! Thank you for your kind comment! ❄️

Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

My son will miss him next year! I’m not sure who will be teaching math next school year but, the jump from 6th to 7th can be ruff!

Hi Jenny I didn’t realize that your daughter was close to my oldest sons age!I don’t even want to think about 11th grade! 🙄🤣I can’t believe he will be in 11th grade next school year! You are right the geometry videos do look outdated. Maybe Abeka thinks that he is probably one of the best geometry teachers they have. I’m not sure if he still teaches at the Academy or not, but I think he wrote part of the geometry book along with some other men. We are looking forward to Miss Shawna in algebra two next year. I didn’t know you spoke fluent Spanish! That means it must be really easy for you to teach Spanish to your daughters. My hope is to one day learn a good amount of Spanish. My son does really well with pronunciation-much better than I do! how is your daughter doing? I hope she is better. 😊As for us Moms, it’s nice to be able to think that other moms are doing the same thing that we are doing day in and day out and that Mom’s before us have done the same thing. We’ve heard it said before that one day we will miss this. We just have to get past the repetitiveness to finding joy in what we get to do! I hope you’re all doing well! ❄️❄️

@@ahallelujahplace ❤️Yes I have two daughters. One is in 11th grade and the other is in 10th grade like your son. I also have my son who is in 5th grade. Are you planning on attending the graduation in Pensacola? If so, maybe we can meet each other there since our kids will graduate at the same time☺️ We opted to do algebra 1 in 9th grade, algebra 2 in 10th grade, and geometry for 11th grade. It is a handful along with chemistry though. My family is from Puerto Rico but I was born here. Even though I speak spanish, trying to teach my kids the language is like pulling teeth lol🤦‍♀️ I wish I would have taught them while they were younger. Will you have your kiddos do state testing this year since it’s no longer a requirement in our state? I am still debating whether we should still do it since it comes included with the abeka accredited program.

Thank you for asking about my daughter. That is so kind of you! She is actually showing improvement praise the Lord! She obviously had the parasite for quite some time (maybe up to a year) so it definitely is taking time to get rid of. She took antibiotics 6 weeks ago and I also bought some natural herbs like black walnut and wormwood. It tastes very nasty, but I can see big improvements since she has been taken it. She is slowly regaining her energy and the pain and nausea are subsided. God is so good! I pray everyone in your family is doing wonderful as well❤️

@@jennyortiz3046 I forgot you were in Ohio too! I’m getting old! Yes, we are planning to do the graduation ceremony in Pensacola! I’d love to meet up with you most definitely that would be great! I just need to make sure that I don’t miss the cut off date to request him in the graduation ceremony and all that stuff but I’m sure it will work out! He’s already looking forward to it. Will your older daughter the one who is in 11th grade now will she be graduating there as well? So you will be a pro when it comes to knowing what to do for your second daughter that’s good! It’s hard to think of them graduating soon I’m going to be a basket case and crying! That’s great that your parents are from Puerto Rico. I wish I could travel anywhere outside of United States. My husband has been to South America a couple of times for mission work, but that’s about it. My oldest son wants to travel a lot so I’m hoping he’ll be able to retain some Spanish. I’m also thinking of getting him private lessons with someone local. I think most kids are not very fond of foreign languages, but Josiah happens to love a lot of them. He wants to take French too, but I don’t think Abeka offers that. With state testing, in Ohio, it was never really required I think. It was just an option. So you could take the state testing or you could have the portfolio signed off on. I always chose the portfolio, but this year I think I am going to do some form of testing. I’m not quite sure which test I’m going to use. One of my friends recommended it to me and I can’t remember what it’s called. I have to find out. I wanted them to get used to other tests. That’s really the main point for me, more experience for them. I wouldn’t send it and I would just keep it for the records and for them to get experience. it’s a tough decision. You could continue doing it or opt out of it which ever you would like or your kids.🤣 I think a lot of homeschool parents do the testing because they don’t regularly give their kids tests or quizzes. I am surprised by how many moms that I know that homeschool and never give their children tests or quizzes and if they do, it’s very rarely. In that case they do the state testing at times. So it all depends. Stay warm tomorrow it’s supposed to be -10 over here in South East Ohio. ❄️☃️

@@jennyortiz3046 it makes me so sad to think of her with that parasite for so long. It must break your heart. I also feel as if the doctors should’ve maybe caught it earlier, but at least they have now and now she can begin to heal. Life is hard as it is and to have to go through all that pain, I feel so bad for her. Maybe you could try a probiotic? That might help her gut to get some good bacteria. I hope that she can get rid of the parasite for good and I hope the doctors are going to regularly check her to make sure that it’s gone for good! I will keep praying for her! ❤️ God bless your sweet family!

Hi and thank you for your comment! I'm sorry it took me so long to respond back! For some reason, I was not getting alerts on my phone for comments and they are only going to my laptop which I am not usually on, but will be from now on. I think Abeka has a great literature program. Highschoolers write between 4-5 book reports, one research report, a literary analysis, character analysis etc. I do wish they read more Shakespeare though. They only read one book in 10th grade plus the 4-5 book reports and essays, but I'm not sure about the last two years of high school. For the most part, you and your child get to pick the book report books you'd like to do the book reports on. The teacher on the dvd explains the writing process very clearly. I think it is a good program, but I do know that some others prefer a more advanced writing program. I hear that IEW writing is very good and challenging. I hope this help! Thank you!

Hi Jenny! Happy New Year to you and your family! I’m so sorry to hear about your daughter still being sick! You were wise to take her in and I hope that now she can get good treatment and begin to feel better again. One of my friends sons had this as well and he was extremely ill but they diagnosed him early and he was treated with antibiotics. I hope your daughter can feel some relief quickly! I know for us moms it’s hard as well because we long to see our children happy and well. i will be thinking of you and praying for you as well. God bless you and your family! 💕🙏

I thought it was Gene somebody!🤣Thank you for reminding me and yes, go see it! Merry Christmas to you and your family too! 🎄❤️

Thank you, Jenny! A very merry Christmas to you and your sweet family! God bless you and your family.🎄🎄

Thank you! I’m glad you found the video helpful! 👍 9th grade will be challenging but fun! One day at a time! ☺️

@@ahallelujahplace Thank you ma'am

Thank you! I’m glad you found some good books to read! It’s one of my favorite things to do with the kids during the holiday! It can be hard to find good ones sometimes! I hope you’re having a good holiday so far!

Bakebrewz, thank you for your comment! I’ve never heard of the none freezer mochi-I’ll have to check that out. We all love mochi but there’s not much in a box and there expensive as most things are this day!🤣 Holiday parties are fun, but I’m really looking forward to no school soon! I hope you and your family have a good holiday season! 🎄I subscribed to your channel as well! 👍

Thank you so much! 💕 I’m glad you enjoyed the vlog! I really like the casserole dish as well. I can’t believe I managed so long without one. I think my husband got it on Amazon! Christmas is my favorite time of the year, but this year has been overwhelming and I’ve been behind in a lot I’ve wanted to do! I hope your holiday is going well, thank you for your lovely comment! 🎄🥰

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it and I hope you found a good advent book for this Christmas! 🎄📚
