Both my children studied from Abeka, Pensacola Christian, all through high school. When it came time to graduate we made the trip to Pensacola and watched as they walked across the stage to graduate & receive their diploma. No regrets.
So nice to see you having Zander clean up his mess. I'm a teacher and I can always tell which parents do everything for their kids and the ones who have their kids clean up after themselves
Your little Xander is such a lovely boy! His comment "Simple jobs, for simple people" just cracked me up! Bless his heart 💙
🤣
Former Teacher aide here whose been in the Education system for over 20 years. I can happily say the Father led me and my child out of the school system last year and I am just loving teaching at home. My child is excelling in one on one learning and "real" life skills. As well as plenty of fresh air and outside time where neither of us are limited to an annoying bell lol! We also join in with quite a few like minded home-schooling groups with activities twice a wk and sometimes more! My child socialises with children his own age and all different ages. It is amazing to see the children learn through play naturally as we all meet up. Everyone's situation is different and there is good schools still out there. Thank you for this video it's truly heart warming. Be blessed. P.S. that desk is super cute!
Thanks for sharing! It sounds perfect for you! I agree, there is much that appeals about home schooling!
The school desk is right where it needs to be. Love how it blends with the couch and is near your work area and the kitchen. Happy Learning, Zander!
I am a retired teacher and I am so glad you are getting Zander started with his schooling. He is so bright and curious. I love the desk and think it looks great where it is located. The curriculum looks really good and I like that it is so well scripted. You are a great Mom and you are looking wonderful.
Thank you!
Y’all have made your home such a beautiful place. And I can tell it’s a home full of joy and laughter.
So sweet seeing Zander sit at his desk. I teach pre-K and I use the Abeka curriculum. It's fabulous and points all lessons to God. My students love it!
Was good 'seeing' you again! Zander is growing up so much and I love to hear him talk.
The desk is so nice and Xander is so excited to learn!
He will be a pleasure to teach as he has such enthusiasm .
Perfect xx
I LOVE the school desk!! It matches your couch and black wall!! It makes my heart glad to see this. I retired as a full time guest teacher here in California. You wouldn't believe what school looks like here. Anyway, I adore watching your videos. Every work ethic, family interaction, and your walk with Jesus is on the mark. We are not perfect, but in today's world I see a stark difference in so many things now. God Bless you and your family. 🙏♥️
Thank you. I'm not sure what you are referring to about the schools, but it did break my heart the things that are going on right now and being taught to children... just in the last few years. I'm honored ti have you here and I'm sure you were an excellent teacher! 🙂
Thank you! In the schools, I was referring to things being taught these days, and the INCREASE in the negative and destructive student behavior over the past 5-7 years. It makes me happy to see a happy child when so many I've seen are not. ♥️
Hi from Texas!! Enjoyed the video, I grew up on the CLE curriculum and after I got married our school switched to Abeka as well. My husband was on the school board for a couple of years,so we had the privilege to go to a school conference in Pensacola. The highlight was to be able to tour the entire school. So blessed to have been able to go to a Christian private school all my life and now our children as well. As we see things change everywhere I see I have very much taken so many things for granted 🙏🏼but still very grateful! I’m so happy to see more & more u tubers that have Christian upbringing, An inspiration💕 a blessed day to you and ur lil family
@@bpeters6704 so true! I agree with you on taking so much for granted. With recent goings on in our nation, in so happy we have private school option!
@@cherylsalka4185 yes it is sad how things are trending now a days.... I'm glad there are may people like you that see the problem. Maybe it can be reversed again!
I love Xander’s desk and he’s learning to respect school books and supplies.
I also struggle with providing food for families like at the time of a funeral. While my family seems to love my meals, I always wonder if others will find it worthy. I try to get past myself because they have a need greater than my fears. But it’s hard sometimes not to go to a fast food chicken place and buy a meal. One thing that helps is that usually when I take food to a family reunion, I don’t bring much home. So someone must like my cooking.
Yes I think it's more of a mind thing! I feel you!!
So good to see you guys back. The desk looks great there. It matches the room.
We call that hamburger dish "Hamburger Hash." (we used mushroom soup) It was something my mom always made and now all the families of her grown children make it. Comfort food.
Zander is growing up so fast!! I love the desk you bought at such a great deal!
I love this video! Since I’m crazy about animals, that part was especially awesome. And I’m a former schoolteacher, so seeing Zander’s joy in his school set up warmed my heart! I appreciate you guys so much!! 🥰🤗💚
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed our day!
That desk is in beautiful shape and brings back lots of memories. I went to elementary school in the 1950s and had desks just like that.
Loved this video. Zander is one blessed child to have you two ad parents🙏🏼
Great video! It was fun to see Xander excited about his new desk.
This was such a lovely video, you are an amazing Mom, Xander is so adorable and his school desk is perfect. Blessings to you all 🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰
Thanks and same to you!
Beautiful desk. What a sweet teacher you are!
Cool desk and lovely bright curriculum! Enjoy Xander. It is really special to have a mom help you with your schooling! 😀💕Xander really enjoyed watching you with the little puppies and getting eggs and helping mom with the clean up and shopping for your school things. You are a lovely helper!
Oh my, Burrito is precious! Then you have the puppies, and Xander is so gentle with them. The school desk is just beautiful and Xander looks so excited to start preschool. Thanks for sharing, it always makes my day. Hope you are feeling well!
Thanks so much!
Xander, you did great with your lessons! Keep up the great work!!!
Your videos are so beautiful and well done🥰. Zander just melts my heart every time!
I totally related when you talked about cooking for others. I get very nervous and self conscious when I have to cook for someone. I usually forget an ingredient or step and it doesn't come out like I planned. Sometimes I get frustrated with myself because sometimes it holds me back from doing something nice for someone else. Thank you for sharing that!
I so relate! Hugs! 😀 I'm the same me way.. it tends to hold me back
What a sweet video, I really enjoyed Zander playing with the puppies, and trying to gather the eggs. Love the little desk you found for your son. He is so ready to learn, and glad you enjoy helping him with this journey. Faye (Ohio)
Thanks! Yes he begs me almost every day to do now school work 😀
Loved it! I can totally identify whith your struggle on cooking especially making food for other families and big groups,😯bless you for doing it for them!
Yay! I fellow struggle mate 🤣
Wow, you are one busy person. I love the desk where it is and it seems in such good shape. What a blessing that both you and his dad were teachers. Xander is such a happy child. Prayers for your family.
Thanks so much!
I think the school desk coordinates with the room very well. Zander always brightens my day!
Thank you!
I LOVE YOUR WAYS WITH XANDER TEACHING HIM THE WAY YOU DO. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Thanks so much!
I love regular school! I agree with your feelings for school. Zander is a really smart young man! Thank you for sharing your channel!
Hi Janine, I love your videos. Zander is a very intelligent, and sweet little guy. The desk you bought Zander was a great find. Making a space, and having the desk setup will make school important for Zander.
The school desk is perfect, your starting him outright organizing his stuff, I appreciate watching him
Thank you!
I loved this video. You are so soft spoken and kind and can tell you made & make a wonderful teacher. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. Zander you are such a cute, sweet, mannerly young man. Bless you all
Thank you!
Zander's smile can light up anyone's day!🥰 We use and used a mixture of different curricula...Abeka, BJU press, Masterbooks, The Good and the Beautiful (reading books). Next year, we might try Apologia Science. Th desk looks great!
I’ve used all that except the The good and the beautiful…is that one any good??
@@TheNavybrat92 I have only tried their picture books and some reading books, they are informative, wholesome and have good illustrations. I have not tried any of TGATB's core subjects for it doesn't fit the learning style of my child. May God's guidance be with you on this.
Always a pleasure visiting with you and Zander. Your music is always so appropriate to the scenery, and I find myself smiling through the whole video. God bless your family. Your witness is refreshing !
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoy! God bless!
I think the desk looks perfect with that brown couch. As always, an enjoyable vlog to watch. The puppies are adorable!
Something my children loved while learning pre school are patterns, matching and sets. You probably have some in your new learning books, but Dollar Tree especially has fun workbooks that are entertaining and great for teaching these forms. My guys would enjoy them like coloring books and a bonus as they were learning on top of it.
Thanks for the idea! Always looking for things to do with him!
such a sweet video :) School supplies are fun for all.... the desk is adorable and goes well in your room. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
The school desk is perfect! What a neat find. My son is in kindergarten, we homeschool, & he too has a desk like that & it's just the cutest to see him work there. 🥰
That's great! It is so cute to see them in it!
The desk for Xander is beautiful and fits in perfect with your decor. You did a great job with lesson too.
Hey Janine , Zander I missed you guys last week , glad your back with this lovely video this week thanks for sharing , I love the mini Dachshunds so cute ,Zander is so good with them. 😀
Thank you so much!
@@theMennoniteMom I missed you, too! I hope you are doing ok.
Zander is such an inquisitive young man. He has you and your husbands desire to learn. What a blessing. He will learn so very much from this program and with both of your help, will give him a major head start for the 1st grade. The desk is awesome. it looks perfect in the room, and fits Zander perfectly.
Xander is adorable!! Love day in the life videos. Thank you & God bless!!
Zander makes me smile. He is a darling and so kind. Nice job mom! Take care and be blessed!
Thank you!
I love watching your interactions with Zander. He is such a sweet smart boy and you are a good Mommy.
I'm thrilled for you and your family with all the wonderful changes that are coming. I remember when my children were being home schooled and how excited they would get when their books would arrive especially the ones just starting school. Xander had that look, and it made me tear up as my memories reached back to my own children. I did use A Beka for years and found that to be the best for me and the children after having tried Bob Jones, Christian Liberty, ACE, etc. Every family has to find what is best for them. Enjoy your time being back in the "classroom". By the way, I love the desk! I used one very similar to yours when I was in elementary school back in the 50's. God bless you and your family, Jeanine.
Thanks for sharing! I know... nothing quite like the excitement that comes with new books!
This brings back so many memories of homeschooling our boys who have now all grown up and flown the nest. We used Abeka as well and some CLE.
Time flies! Good for you for homeschooling!
Your child....he is amazing and your such a good Mom-loved the video.
Thanks for sharing this video Jeanine! Xander is growing up so fast and is such a great helper and student!! It was nice to see Xander & Summer’s photo, they are precious!!! Xander’s desk is a great find, it’s perfect for him. Hope you’re feeling and doing well, you’re starting to glow 🤩 Sending love & prayers 🥰🙏🏻❤️🙋🏻♀️🌻🍂🍁
Lol thank you! It's going well God is good! Hope all is well with you! Take care!
Thanks for sharing. The little desk brings back memories for me. There was a Catholic School near me and they were replacing old school desk. My mom brought one home for me. I was so excited. I loved school. I used that desk for homework, drawing and coloring. Hopefully Xander will love school. You are such an awesome mom.
I am sure you loved it! Such good Memories!
Love the desk! It looks like it is in great condition.
Jeannine, what a lovely video. Thank you. I homeschool and chose to use BJU Press. Before I had children I taught at a Christian school that used a combination of BJU and Abeka. I found both to be very good and an excellent resource for both teacher and homeschooling mum alike. Enjoy all these precious moments you are creating with yoυr son.
Very interesting! I haven't heard of BJU. Glad it works well for you! And good for you for homeschooling!
Such a cute desk!!
Lovely to see you and Zander again missed you all ! 🥰💜🦮🐴
Thank you!
What a team you and Xander are, so cute! Stay well!
Thank you!
We use started out homeschooling using CLP, but currently in our 2nd year using masterbooks and really like the gentle approach.
I enjoy food videos, and seeing the new food ideas, keep them coming!
Thanks!
That was the Sweetest video!! Xander was SO cute doing his lesson! I love that cute little desk! What a Find for $25! I think it looks great sitting near your desk! Love your videos, Janine! ❤
Thank you!
I got my meat chopper at Walmart. I use it when browning ground beef and also sausage. In several of my cookbooks from different churches they have quantities listed for cooking for 25 or 50 people. If more than 50 you would just double the amounts listed. Love that you have Zander helping to clean up as it will be so helpful when the baby comes. Thanks for the video. Have missed you.
That would be a great cookbook to have! I need one like that! I feel I'm always guessing!
Xander is so good with the puppies! I'm the same as you with making meals for others! I get all nervous that they won't like my food, especially since we eat different than most people as well:-) Xanders desk is so nice, it reminds me of setting up our schoolroom more than 20 years ago for our two oldest children. We also had desks, and used A Beka for many years. Now I sit at a table with our four youngest, and use a variety of curriculum from TGATB, Teaching Textbooks, EvanMoor, All About Reading, and IEW! Have fun teaching preschool!
Nice to find others that relate! I sometimes feel so alone in that! 😀 and Good for you for homeschooling! I always admire homeschooling moms
What a terrific momma you are. Really enjoyed your video ❤️
Loved a little insight of your day! I am trying to keep my kids more involved in my every day tasks. I love how you always keep him involved. Your calm spirit encourages me! I homeschool one so far. We use the Lifepac curriculum. Also have a 4 year old I am working on with some basics. Then the two year old I do good to keep him inline while working with the others! Haha
Hats off to you! I'm struggling to keto my 4 year old sitting and engaged! 😀 I don't see how you moms of many do it! Especially with a busy 2 year old! You amaze me!
Hey, I have just recently found your channel and have quickly fallen in love with the channel and your family! I have a little girl that will be five in August and we have been doing the Abeka K4 this year! She loves the curriculum, work pages and is reading a few words now!! She is also so interested in sounding things out and trying to spell them herself! I know this video is 3 months old. I hope y’all have enjoyed Abeka as much as we have! We also LOVE the Bible Curriculum! My little girl can quote over 10 verses now just because of the curriculum. It amazes me how much they soak in their little brains. Anyways, keep up the amazing work you are doing with Xander! Can’t wait to see your precious baby girl too!
I love the placement of the desk, the colours match, how exciting for Xander and Mummy (the secret geek 😉), watching you both made me all emotional, everything to do with his desk was to be neat and tidy, but toys are to be played with everywhere, then tidied away…perfect Mummy !
Yes secret Geek 🤣 thanks so much! Love having you here!
@@theMennoniteMom I hope I didn’t offend, I know you love your technology 🙂
Xander is the sweetest boy!!
Thanks for sharing.
Love my meat chopper.
I homeschool our kids and we use Abeka. I have always used it. I know there are so many different options out there for curriculum but I started with Abeka and have stuck with it because it overwhelms me to look through all the options.
A Becka books, that takes me back. We home schooled through our county's charter school and supplemented ( replaced) California's curriculum with A Becka. I also used Bob books. Fun little books for learning sounds and as first readers. I too am uncomfortable cooking for other people! I'd much rather be outside caring for the animals. Burrito is adorable but I don't have to deal with him. Do you know how donkeys came to have the sign of the cross on them? After Jesus rode the colt donkeys have the dark hair in the pattern of the cross. You are looking well and Xander is such a sweet heart. Thanks for sharing a day in your life.
I've heard that story! 😀 that's great you enjoyed Abeka as well!
Jeanine, you and your family (including the animals ) Are a blessing to "All" of us :)
Thank you kindly
ABeka is a great curriculum!! All of our children used it in private Christian School and our grandchildren now use it for Home School. I love Xander’s desk!
Great video! Zander will do well adjusting to preschool because of how you are showing him what to expect, I love your idea about doing that. I am like you about cooking for others...I get so nervous and I really don’t like it. I think I’m a pretty good cook but when it comes to cooking for others...I doubt everything that I make will turn out alright, I usually over think it all. I envy those who make it look so easy. Thanks for another great video!
Yes! Overthink is the word! I hear you!
I really enjoyed todays video! 😊
We love our meat chopper! My sister found it at Dollar General about 3 years ago. It's been used A LOT in those 3 years and is still in good condition. So to anyone that doesn't have one I 10 outa 10 recommend getting one! 🙂
Yes, so handy!! Glad you enjoyed coming along!
Now I want to go teach preK again! I used Abeka book when I homeschooled our two and then when I taught in our church's private school we used it there. My favorite grades to teach were always Kindergarten because it is so rewarding to teach a child to read...and fourth grade because their minds are still so eager to learn! You got a great deal on the school desk! It is beautiful.
Good for you! I always preferred the challenge of the upper grades and the younger ones simply bore me with the reputition. But I like your outlook, teaching them to read... that is exciting!
Loved your day in the life. Good to see animals again. You look amazing Jeannine. Zander gonna love his schooling. Be blessed.
Thanks so much!!
Zander your a big helper to your mom blessed you
Love the "day in the life" vlogs😊
Thank you! Good to know!
The meat chopper is an amazing tool, it can be used to shred cooked chicken and mash up meat and more. You can actually find it at Target, Walmart, Dollar General and other places as well as online.
Good to see you back I was afraid you weren’t ok. I love to cook and bake but never enjoyed taking a meal somewhere either. Not sure why maybe like you I’m afraid they won’t like it. I don’t mind having people over though. Especially family as they love my food and my different way of cooking.
Thank you! All is well! I think we think alike with cooking (:
So wonderful of you to share your animals, Zander's beginning school, your meal prep. You are looking great and hope you feel the same..........cheers
Thank you!
I love my Pampered Chef chopper also. It's one of the tools that you never realized how handy it would turn out to be.
Yes so true!
That’s a very nice school desk. Someone must of refinished it cuz it’s in good shape. I remember going to school using that same kind of desk.
I think Atshly getting close to a antique. It looks just fine where you have it m remember you’ll be using it for awhile when baby #2 comes along 💗.
Love watching Xander. He has such enthusiasm for everything. He’s a real joy to watch. ♥️♥️😊👍👍
Burrito is adorable. That blue egg was so pretty. Zander is a great helper.
I love your videos and can not wait to see the next one God Bless you and your family
Thanks so much!
I love Abeka. I taught k4-K5 for about 6 years. Loved it. It was in our church.
Loved the video. I home schooled my children. The curriculum I used and loved when my children were pre school age is Rod and Staff.
They have a great education system as well!
Loved the video!❤
My two nieces home school their children. (PA) We got them desk at yard sales. We needed 5 in all. We also got some for ourselves. Not that we needed them, but they were old and I like that. I don’t know what kind of books they use. Thanks for showing the animals. The puppies were so cute. Take care and God Bless.
My son is also 4- will be 5 in February. We are doing Pre school stuff at home - I just get diff. Workbooks etc from amazon. He will go to kindergarten next fall. He says he wants to be Zanders friend 😉. Hope the pregnancy is going well!
Xander always loves to make new friends! 😀
ABEKA was great, especially for the 1st year going into homeschooling😃👍🏼
Love Zanders enthusiasm ❤️. Would love for you to give more thoughts on the glasses after having them a bit, as well as just the process of picking out, ordering and the receiving. How was your experience. Thank you in advance-:)
Zander is sooo cute! Love the desk
We have eight children and have been home schooling for 18 yrs. This year we are down to our final two children. We are using Christian Light Education ( CLE ) . Home schooling has been a sacrifice and an even bigger blessing.
Ha! There's a song I haven't heard for way too long... I do enjoy the road trip to places, really helps me get my bearings (even though I'm far, far away - and it's not even September any longer!) My dog was loving the puppies, too. Too cute!
Just an FYI - you can get the meat chopper at Wal-Mart for $4-something.
I used to have a real phobia in cooking for others. I have come a long way, but it still acts up every now and then. It was interesting to watch Xander and your way of teaching. We're currently using the CLE Curriculum. I think Burrito is the most interesting animal on the farm.
I think it comes easier with practice... and forcing yourself to do it (:
I think the school desks actually goes well in that room! When I homeschooled many years ago we used Alpha and Omega products. I liked how they used Bible examples throughout all subjects.
Someone else mentioned them. I hadn't heard of that before...
I think getting Zander ready for school is a great plan. I love your description of capital I and lower case I!
It was in the book! I can't take credit lol
Oh wow, love the desk. I think it looks awesome in your room with your desk ❤️ Zander sure loves it!!
I didn’t home school my kids until they got into 6th grade. I wanted them (3 boys) to have social skills with others like you explained. Even though we had youth meetings at church and had outings with kids their own age, I felt that the school environment would help them with social skills. They also played sports in our school district, so they didn’t miss out on those things all the way to graduation.
Alpha-omega is the curriculum we used. Very expensive but well worth it. Their older now, good jobs and married with families of their own ❤️
Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed reading about how you schooled
Xander made my heart so happy when he showed you his skipping rock. He puts a huge smile on my face. Xander always looks so happy and well behaved. Thank you for sharing your family with us.
Cooking didn't bother me. What did was any time that I had to address the congregation or meet new people. I am shy and have a very soft voice. People always ask me to speak up. It has taken me many years to overcome this. I can do it but I have panic attacks at times.
I love how people are so different it makes the world so interesting!
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for following up on the “meat chopper”!
Now I know what to look for. Thank you!
You're welcome!
I currently have 2 children in school and we are using cle this year. I'm going to switch next year to using some abeka and some cle. I really like that k4 set up, but it is more than I want to pay for preschool. I'll be using the kindergarten 1 from cle for our 2 youngest for their preschool curriculum. It looks really good, and is quite inexpensive:)
It is expensive and quite detail oriented. I think CLE is easier for a non to quickly teach (:
Boys and puppies go together so well. Our boys are loving our Golden Retriever puppies right now!
Yes they do! That's wonderful!
I'm always looking foward to your videos! I love watching you interact with your son! Your such a good mom!☺
I decided to try ACE for my son Joshua this year, and so far it's been going great. They incorporate bible verses in every booklet(which is called pace's), and they encourage memorizing them upon completion of each pace. He actually can recite all the verses to me by memory. My son loves this curriculum, and he's been excelling throughout each one! Also, it's very affordable. I'm a fan of any curriculum that incorporates the word of God, while giving children a good education! Thank you for sharing, and God bless you Jeanine, Nolan and Xander!💖
Agreed! Our church school uses ACE. Glad you like it!
