Just pulled our 5 almost 6 year old from public school and recieved all of my ABEKA accredited K5 a few days ago. I am feeling so overwhelmed, but I know I can do this. I set up an 8 week system, because I don’t want to get ahead of myself. The dvd teacher material is a bit much for me so far. I got a lesson planner on the side and I’m trying to figure out the best lesson planner method. I am almost 50 years old and basically winging this. We played around a little this evening, and opening with the pledge and Jesus loves me song has given me more faith that I can do this, for HIM! Prayers would be greatly appreciated. I don’t want to let him down. I heard a quote “you’re worst day at homeschool is better than your best day of public school”……. Excited and scared at the same time. Enjoyed your video. Hope your daughters have a great year.
I loved Abeka for our girls! I did switch to Saxon math about 5th grade. It is very buildable for them as they learn different skills. Because we moved around with our work I always found a group that did standardized test groups for my accountability as well. And it included BIBLE texting. I even made a very good friend that was a speech pathologist. She helped me with my youngest speech. N ow one is a lawyer and other daughter a National Park Ranger.
This brings back memories. I had four kids andI home schooled them all. You are super organized so that helps immensely. I eventually made up their syllabi and just had the school system check them over. They always said my curriculums were tougher than the school system. The kids were always in the 90% or higher with their test scores. Bravo, Sarah.
I love that you & Rob homeschool those beautiful girls! Public schools are designed to produce, dutiful, obedient, incurious, worker drones. As much as I love that, imagine my excitement that they are learning poetry, I being a poet. God bless you, Sarah, & your wonderful family.
@Deermom I think it is a great idea to Homeschool your girls, what is happening to schools today are not safe and healthily. Awesome Sarah, hats of to you , Rob and Girls.
Thank you for sharing this aspect of your lives.As the child of an educator, having grown up in a bible educational society I appreciate the organizational details you highlighted.I no longer have kids at home and am preparing for a remodel here at home. I was so frustrated I was ready to buy up realestate there... Adrinoline pumped but I didn't have a coffee til monday on the way back up the road..Take care...May Jehovah be with you and keep you...
Hi Sarah ... Before seeing this I thought you were incredible. After seeing this, you far exceed the limits of incredible. All of the things you do with taking care of the house, planning and packing for trips and adventures, taking care of your incredible husband, and all that you do for family, friends, and neighbors, it is amazing that you have any time left for understanding and doing everything that's needed to provide Aria and Emma an excellent education. Love the Bible study being included in this process. You are an amazing woman, mom, wife, and friend. If you are interested, I have written three children's books, not published, for family and friends. I would be happy to send you copies I have on my computer if you were interested in reading them. I think the kids would like them, but that is entirely your choice of course. Please say hi to Aria, Emma, and Rob for me. All the best from me in Alaska.
The abeka curriculum is the best my daughter just graduated and going to Pensacola Christian college it will be the best decision you’ll ever made for your kids
Sara really enjoys being organized and seems like a type A personality with high energy. She is doing more in homeschool than a lot of teachers. Awesome job being a supermom.
Oh how much I wish I can homeschool my girls! I LOVE how organized you are! I do the same thing with all of my kids supplies. I label everything and also color coordinate. I'm a little OCD lol! You're doing such an amazing job with your girls! Although I don't homeschool (hopefully one day will) this video is so helpful in understanding how it works! Thank you for taking the time to put it together!
yall have some very intelligent girls ❤.. And you and Rob are such wonderful parents ❤️... it's so wonderful how you teach them not only the schooling they need but the values in life and most of all.. The Power of Prayer... The love of God❤..Love yall and The way you and DMFD do your videos. . Yall are such beautiful and loving people 💗. . God bless yall Sarah and TGBTG ❤❤
Wow. You're such an amazing mom. Your kids are so lucky. -from someone who was just thrown a 5-dollar bill and told to make it last the day for food, with even less of a care about my grades/ success. Having good teachers and parents makes a difference in children's lives. You're doing a phenomenal job, Sarah!
We have 6 and have homeschooled for the last 12 years since our oldest, Emma, was in kindergarten. We take her to college in less than 2 weeks. It's crazy and I'm going to cry like a baby driving 5 hours home without her.
I was homeschooled on abeka until I started grade 7. Found myself way ahead of my classes. Nice way to set them up for life!! Hoping to do the same for my own daughters.
Omg I'm still watching this an love it Sara. I think we need Rob in there helping you ! It would be awesome! What ya think ! Where's our guy helping out.
I really love your channel. I’m disabled and bedridden and always looking for content to help with my boredom. I absolutely love you, the kids, the furr babies and Rob! Throw in Aubrey, grandparents, and BlueGabe and I’m a happy camper. Kudos girl 👍😎🙄
My 18 year old graduated high school Last year. I also now have a 10 month old.. I agree with everything you have said. I'm sorry Sarah, but stay away from K12. I work for UPS and I see so many damaged material for the students because it's not packed correctly. I'm not saying anything bad about the curriculum. But damaged school supplies is a deterant for a lot of kids. I don't know if you have it but maybe a art craft and creativity area by the canal and next to the garden. Keep it up Sarah and 😊❤
Loved loved the video Sara an thank you !! But don't be mixing up crayons. Lol. Much respect to you ,Rob an the girls! God is good! Be safe on y'all's travels an may God keep putting great people in your path. Respect!!
incredible organization. I am like you, but my wife has her own "unique" way of organizing things...opposite of me...as in just throwing all of the mail, etc into a huge pile on our island in the kitchen, then once in a while moving them to a box in the garage. I can never find anything, but when I ask she somehow knows exactly where it is. "Hey babe, where are my Charles Schwab 1099s? ...I can't find them." Five minutes later and rummaging through three boxes in the garage she finds them. lol
Thank you for so much insight to this program! Are you using the parent led program or the academy? The academy version looks like the curriculum is all online. Can you help me with clarification.
@@DeerMom I was talking in general...I know what kind of person you are and I can see that from watching all your vids you would not do something like that. That's why I love watching you guys because I can see your love for one another, your morals and great character, and love for God and this country. I was just wondering it just looks like people can cheat easily
we started ,my oldest daughter with abeka, unfortunately her dad was not a good school teacher, later our church gathered all of the children being homeschooled under a group of the women who were able to make it happen then even further on a licensed teacher joined our church and built a comprehensive curriculum that we still use in our accredited church school to this day it always bothers me that the public schools are not teaching cursive any more, our founding documents are all in cursive thank god Abeka and other faith based home school programs still teach the important skills
✌️no hating here, but as cool at this looks, in the end , your kinda like a full-time teacher to get the program knowledge and teach.. the girls have less time learning than going to school. Seams like a lot of work from your part. Is it possible to do that if you are working full time? I'm just curious. I know this will be better for your girls! Seams like a lot of work. No short cuts here. I'm glad you can do that! ✌️👌👍♥️🇨🇦
No, they are getting an education far superior to the public indoctrination camps. Lots of time spent in 'school' is pure nonsense. The Arrington girls will be much further ahead of their public schooled peers, as they are being highly educated in life / outdoor skills.
Sarah, I am working on a series of books to aid personal development as the illustrator with a lovely lady and would love to send the girls a copy of our first book if you would like to drop me a message.
Where are you and Robert are free to raise your kids how you want. I strongly disagree with the isolationist style of education. God and politics should have no place in a school. I mean what would you and Rob do if your kids one day developed a mind of their own and decided they didn't want to be Christian nationalists? Not everybody wants to be an extremist
@DeerMom I agree, everybody's differences make them unique. It's just homeschooling deprives the kids of the opportunity to learn about the world and make friends they wouldn't normally see in everyday life. However everybody's story is different, and I'm glad that you agree with that. Just think in my opinion religion and politics should stay out of a kid's education because they are just kids they are innocent. No need to beat them over the head with Adult World drama, they still have many years to get into that and they may not even want to at that
@@MrX965785055 appreciate the civil conversation! My thought is that they get to not only learn about the world, but experience it first hand and meet people of different cultures, backgrounds and ways of life. Some things they see while traveling, they would never learn properly in a classroom. We are fortunate to live by kids their age who they get to have good connections with, but they also have friends all over the world! It’s a total win/win for our lifestyle 😊
@DeerMom honestly I like your maturity, philosophically I know we don't see eye-to-eye. However it's good to see that despite all the animal killing on yours and Robert's videos, that there is humanity and compassion. You definitely scored big points with me when you didn't want to kill that female in your last video because it could have been a mom. I have never fished or hunted in my life but I've always wanted to, and I know if I took to hunting I would only go for males only. Because I don't like the idea of orphaning babies no matter if they're an invasive species or not
@@MrX965785055since when does being Christian and loving your country make you an extremist? Quit watching fake news...this is why people home school. You get brainwashed by schools and mainstream media
Woman! This here shows the fact behind a strong man is a powerful woman! No wonder y'all's girls are so intelligent. Kreep up the good work momma!
Thank you!

All the respect for offering this to your children in these changing times more people should take the responsibility.

Best aBeka mom how-to video ever. You gave me so many pointers and ideas! Thank you, Sarah!
I’m so glad you found it useful!!!
@@DeerMom😊 Question: do you purchase the essential parent kits or the complete parent kits?

Happy school year to all. Our kids need our full support now. Especially these days ! Thanks y'all.
Thanks so much Sarah❤❤❤
This is a Masterclass in Homeschool setup and organization!!! 😂

Appreciate the support!!
Lots of great information thank you.
My 18 year old graduated high school Last year. I also now have a 10 month old..
I agree with everything you have said.
I'm sorry Sarah, but stay away from K12.
I work for UPS and I see so many damaged material for the students because it's not packed correctly. I'm not saying anything bad about the curriculum.
But damaged school supplies is a deterant for a lot of kids.
I don't know if you have it but maybe a art craft and creativity area by the canal and next to the garden. Keep it up Sarah and 😊❤

And to be clear, I also think you and Rob are perfect together. Rob is an alpha male and perfect for you. Makes me smile 😁

Glad you think so!

This is such a great video!!!! ABeka is the best!!!!
Thanks Bethlee!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Got a ton of respect for parents who home school as I'm sure it's a lot of work, but I do have a question: isn't it easy to cheat your way through?
I could, but that would be wrong and unfair for our kids - I want them to have a good education with high standards, values and morals
@@DeerMom I was talking in general...I know what kind of person you are and I can see that from watching all your vids you would not do something like that.

Okay that makes me feel awesome! Thank you very much! 💯
windows software is amazing for me and other people i think
now that's a real woman out there
Sara based on some of your upbringing do you guys plan on putting your kids into sports?
We’ve been talking about it! When the time is right, it will happen!
@@DeerMom awesome!
You are Awesome just Awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Sarah I have a question. What if the girls want to play team sports or other school activities like different clubs? Just curious.

Wonderful you're excellent example of how teachers can be in the home. The education system is failing. It's time we stop participating.
