This video is old, but it's nice to see a parent doing Abeka who doesn't have the fancy set up, as all of us are not able to do that. So, it's good to see that Abeka can be done in a regular house with regular amenities.
It sure can!
i love it...."I'm the principal and the teacher so I get to decide".
Living the dream. lol
I seriously thought we were the only family that can't do school together in one room lol. Thank you for this, it was a breath of fresh air 💖💖💖💖💖
I have never watched anyone on TH-cam and thought we are SO much alike. Love your video! Wish I knew other homeschool moms around me like us. It would be fun!
I bet you can find some!!!!!
came across your page searching for homeschool routines with abeka academy &I love your page!!! "my strength is not in teaching small children"..I felt that lol
Tiera Renee welcome to my page!! Thanks for your kind words!!!
Felt that down DEEP! I am right there with you & considering Abeka Academy for that exact reason!
@@lindsilou I am glad it resonated with you!
Thank you so much for this video! Super helpful for this first time homeschool mom!
Glad it was helpful!
You are adorable and this was so great, I've got two kids in college and a fourth grader that I'm looking into bringing home with Abeka next year. This was super helpful as I investigate.
Good luck on your journey!!!
I used the same crate idea (with wheels) when I had aging parents. Many times we had to load the crates and go to grandparents house for the day to take care of them.
Crates and rolling carts are LIFE when you have to tote stuff around!
Omg I love you! You are so cute! Thanks for the informative video. Can you do a video showing everything you get with the academy program? Is it a ton of stuff? Do you get flash cards, maps, and other fun tools?
Lol!!! Your funny!!☺️ Thank you for being real!
I love your personality!
Thank you!
Love this! So much great info, thank you for sharing!
I’m starting Abeka DVDs for the first time with my 4th grader. Thanks for this video. 😀
Wonderful!
I keep all my Abeka books in several binders. Helps for when we are on the go by just grabbing what we need instead of one giant book or crate. All work just stays in the binders when they finish.
The best part about homeschool is each person finding what works best for them! YAY!
I just enrolled my 2 kids for homeschooling 2nd and 5th grade, hope all year goes smoothly.Im new at this and I work full time which I have 1 week on and off , It is going to be a lot for me but I think we can get ti done.
May God Bless you on your journey. I’m new to homeschooling too. Starting this year with my 4th grader.
I am new to homeschooling, today is our first day. I was so scared to do this because I work full-time and learned others are doing this while working. I tried to find youtubers who work full-time outside of youtube. Anyways, how is it going with your homeschooling?
Love this video soooo much!
You are awesome. This is so helpful. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
ok ... I love you that is all!
LOL Thank you.
Are you still using Abeka Academy? would love to hear an update.
We used it for two years and then I did my own thing for two years - but next year I'm going back to it for my youngers. I have found I prefer it for grades 4 and under.
I love you!!
Did you compare BJU Online/DVD vs. Abeka and if so what was the deciding factor? Trying to decide between the two it seems like the BJU videos are shorter since the teacher is teaching directly to the student instead of a classroom but I couldn't find any official info on Abeka time lengths for the separate subjects unless I missed it.
I didn't look much into BJU because I had some friends who know me WELL tell me I would like Abeka better. There IS a chart in the front of the teacher manual that tells the average times for each class.
First grade:
Bible - 30 minutes
Seatwork - 5 minutes
Reading Circle - 10 minutes
Phonics/Language - 20 minutes
Writing - 15 minutes
Arithmetic - 40 minutes
Spelling - 8 minutes
Combination Practice - 8 minutes
Activity Time - 20 minutes
Thanks for your video. Question, what would be the difference between the teacher manual and video manual? And I'm thinking you get both with the academy?
This was so helpful. Thank you. Do you have to keep all the papers that you grade? Or, do you go back and have to work on things with the papers? The paper and crates kind of confused me. Thank you!
Great video!
My husband and I adopted our grand daughter. She is currently 3years old. We have decided to home school. We are going with Abeka and would like to stick with it throughout her entire school career. I am terrified about grading subjective work in the future like book reports. ( Anything that does not have concrete answers). I have been hearing about this strange new math ( common core) where the answers aren’t really accurate. My state requires standardized testing and the state gets involved if your child tests below a certain level. I’m glad Abeka uses standard math, but I a afraid my child won’t know how to pass the standardized tests. Does anyone have input for me?
Ask your state which testing system they use. When you find out, you can grab a few workbooks online that are practice tests - that's what we did and everything went great!
Thank you for responding Humorous Homemaking
I'm currently researching my options for homeschooling. Why do you prefer the streaming vs the DVDs?
I like being able to do school anywhere with wifi and not having to worry about DVDs.
How does the steaming work? Is it live? We are considering homeschooling for the 2020/2021 school yr
You have two options:
A. You can use their DVD set.
B. You can watch online, but it's not live streaming. You can watch whenever you like!
streaming is pretty much the same. it is not live, it is the same recording except you watch the video lessons at Abeka.com The main difference with streaming is you don't borrow those DVDs, so you don't need to return them back to Abeka.
I wanted to know what tips you can share on how to keep a hyper 5 year old engaged with the Abeka K5 Curriculum, I just started and I am very worried that my daughter will not stay engaged....
It can be hard to keep younger kids engaged - just make sure to give lots of breaks and show lots of grace to both of you. It might be that this isn't the right fit but you won't know until you try!
@@myersfamilydiaries Thank you for your reply. I am just praying for grace and asking the Lord to help me. Thanks again
👌🏼
Can you children work independently? Do you have to complement the dvd lessons ?
The kids work independently sometimes, but know to ask for help. I'm also checking in with them quite often to make sure they're on track.
How is the bible study work??
Can you elaborate on what you mean?
Your so strict you don’t even let them use browsers or search up things
My kids are very young - my oldest is 10. The internet is a very scary place. So, no. I don't let them use browsers to just search things. They can use Kid Search and that's all for now.
Humorous Homemaking well done mum
