I hope today's video is helpful for those asking for MORE HIGH SCHOOL CONTENT! I hear you and I see you! 😀
Have a blessed day! ❤️
Please share this video with anyone who might find it helpful or encouraging. 💕
I can use all the homeschool high school videos you can make! I currently have a 10th grader who will start a part time job in March and love that he’ll be accountable to someone other than me… he’ll learn so much about finances! I feel so calm after watching your videos ! Thank you!
So glad you find them helpful, Kimberly. 💕
FYI Shormann algebra 1 is 1 algebra credit and 1/2 geometry. Then you take algebra 2. That gives you the other algebra credit and the other 1/2 credit of geometry.
Yes, thank you! In our state however...credits are tracked differently. A 1 year course is 2 credits...one semester course is 1 credit. 😊 That's what I was referring to. My apologies if it confused anyone!
@@SimplyLivingIt got it! Then that is correct! Shormann is tough at the beginning, but then it’s great!
I'm sorry for the confusion! 💕
Great video! Thank you. I’ll be starting high school with 2 girls next year. I did want to say the I think that 2 years of shormann math count for the 3 credits… not just the one.
I have my first High Schooler in the fall!
I was so intimated by it but finally figured out the credits and diploma areas and realized I just do the same thing we have always done, I just keep track of the credits. *deep breath*
Yes, mama! Deep breath!!!!! Do the same thing you've always done...just now, keep track! Haha! ❤️
You have such great boys Jamie. They already have so many life skills that kids these days lack. You’ve done a great job mama.
Ruby, thank you! 😭
You are so kind! 💕
Love your videos ❤ I am just getting ready to graduate one!! It goes so fast! I have no idea what I was doing, lol, but he was accepted into Embry-Riddle Aeronautical Science university in Florida with a scholarship!!! Made me realize that all my doubts were in my head and even though I doubted myself, I was making the right choice and he turned out fine. Keep going Mommas!! God is right there with you every day and your kids are learning so much more than you realize in your comfy, loving home. ❤
Wow, what an accomplishment! That is amazing! I am so proud of you!!!!!
And friend, thank you for your encouragement through it all! ❤️
Great video! My oldest is starting "8th" this year & I wanna start trying to bring in & track some credits, possibly!
Been trying to wrap my brain around the "high school, transcript stuff" Love The fact that we can all use "grade levels" loosely, & use whatever resources & information we need to use to help them learn (lower or higher levels)! Thanks for sharing! Love how u let people know that its ok & a fact that we as homeschoolers can choose to shape it , however we choose & do what works! Thankful that theres no "set" way!
Simplify as much as possible or bring on the load.... Thank u for your videos & inspiration on simplifying & truth!
You have no idea how much I appreciate this video!
I am SO glad you found it helpful Ashlea! 🤗
My mom started homeschooling me my 10th grade year! I spent my high school years studying worldview/apologetics and getting college credits! I was then able to graduate college at 19 (about to turn 20!) Pretty crazy now my oldest is a 7th grader. 😢
I spent so much time in the last couple of years dreading the big, scary “9th grade year”. Well, we’re halfway through it this year and it’s absolutely been a joy! We need more voices like yours in the conversation ❤
Kaya, thank you for your encouragement. 🌻
Yes to teaching our boys to become working leaders and to have a great work ethic. So many parents pamper their boys and they are immature and never become a real man. Love that your son is working - life skills are essential!
I agree it's not an intimidating as you think it is. Once I just "brain dump" all the things I'm thinking and get all information together that they need to graduate, check lists, etc... it makes it so much more exciting to do this. It's going to be hard but fun.
I have held down a job since I was 14 years old and I believe that it has helped me become the hard worker I am today! Everyone should have the experience.
I think that’s great that your son is working. It is so important that they understand and have good work ethics. As well as how to manage money while they are under your roof. I graduated my oldest from homeschool in 2021 and as a freshman she got a job at a Veterinary Clinic the day she turned 15. She wanted to be a vet tech so we wanted to get her in the field to make sure she liked it. She has amazing work ethics and they recognized her responsibility and maturity and abilities taught her soooo much. She also ran track and was taking a full load of dual enrollment classes. As well as what I had her do too. She is going to a Trade college for Vet Tech and graduates in July. She has a full time job as a vet tech and loves it and is getting married in May!!! My second daughter is graduating this year. My momma heart is full and emotional. My 3rd daughter will graduate next year and then I have more time before my 2 sons graduate. But your doing awesome and I love to watch your videos.
Nicole!!!!! Wow!!!!! You have done an amazing job, mama! Thank you for sharing some of your experience...it is SO encouraging! 💕
Yes!!! The HSLDA resources were gold for me when my boys were in highschool!
I’m honestly panicking, my daughter will be a 9th grader next year!! I need to stop and pray over it all. Thanks for this video!! 💜
You are so welcome! 🌻
Yes to learning hands on in a work environment! 👏🏽
Can you like the high school transcript template that you’re using. Thanks for this Jamie, I just love your learning style !
Lori, thank you so much! ❤️ I will see if I can find it and link it. I do know that Masterbooks has a packet as well if I can't find this one!
I think it's great that your son has a job! It sounds like you and your husband are raising a responsible young man. Keep up the great work mama!
Thank you so much, friend. 🌻
Thanks so much angel for doing this video. My son is going to 9th grade next year and I'm so nervous. This helped. You have 3 terrific boys and your such a wonderful mother. Never forget that ❤️
You're welcome! Thank you for watching. I understand the nerves, mama. However, it's really not been much different for us! We just keep showing up, doing our thing! You got this, friend! 🤗
THANK you SO much for sharing!! My oldest is 9th grade this year and this helps so much!❤
I'm so glad! 💕
I think your son having a job is amazing!! It is so so good for boys especially to work and work hard. There is so much education found in work experience and earning/managing money. I’m so glad you aren’t letting people get to you with their comments about it. My 9th grader is still 14 and we haven’t found an outside job that fits yet, but he wants to work and I hope he can find something soon. I will absolutely make time in homeschooling for it!
Thank you for your encouragement! 🌻 I think we have a very similar mindset. 😊
I have a 7th grader and appreciate your high school content.
Thank you for letting me know! 🤗
Love this! My oldest is about to be a third grader, but this is an encouraging video for the future!
I have to admit, my kids are homeschooled elementary kids and I’m so nervous about middle and High school and wondering what the requirements are like. Thanks for sharing.
I think it’s great that he wants to work. That shows initiative.
Thanks friend, and thank you for watching! 😊
We love Shormann! My 10th grader is doing their biology this yr and really enjoying it. I enjoy the grading done for me 🤣🙌 unfortunately she had already took Algebra 1 before we found Shormann so we decided to finish her maths with Teaching Textbooks. I love they have integrated geometry into the Algebras tho! 3 credits in 2 yrs? Yes please! That's our plan for my current 7th graders when the times comes.
That is amazing! I'll have to check out their biology!!! 😃
We love Shormann! Your kids will be way ahead of public schools
I don't understand how in world you can only do 8 weeks of something and stop lol... I reverse plan but I do keep some sort of schedule or something that we do, so I don't forget. I have to or I WILL forget. We do fix it grammar in our morning time/family subjects at the table.
How do you calculate (divide) the credits?
It varies state by state. Check out HSLDA for your specifics state and what they require!
Great video ❤ I dropped out and I needed a transcript for a job promo so I ended up purchasing it online for $500
I’m all good now tho
Just an FYI, only completing Alg 1 gives him 1 credit for Algebra and 1/2 credit for geometry. He will need to take Alg 2 to get the second alg credit and the other half of the geometry credit. We love Shormann Math.
The homeschooling high school pamphlet you have from HSLDA, is it only available to members only? Couldn’t find it.
Bless him for loving shormann math!
Are you doing shormann algebra 1 and 2? I believe it's 3 credits for both Algebra 1 and 2. 1/2 credit for geometry each algebra year.
Yes, algebra 1= 1 algebra 1 credit and .5geometry and algebra 2= 1 algebra 2 credit and .5geometry
So if you complete both levels it would give credit for 3
Thank you! I was a little confused and wanted to clarify, just in case anyone else was looking into Shormann.
Yes! Thank you for clarifying that Megan! If you completed them as a whole
(alg 1&2), you would get credit for geometry and both Algebra courses...that's what I was trying to say! 🤪 Without actually taking a seperate geometry course! Regarding the number of credits... our state gives 2 credits for a year course and 1 credit for a semester course...so I understand my credit count may have confused some who live elsewhere. 😅
So glad I found your channel my sons situation is similar it’s a blessing. Does it count as life skills credit?
I have one about the graduate and I'm hearing that the transcripts need to have an embossed stamp for colleges to accept them.
How about if they just to get a decent job?
Would a Home school diploma be state approved?
If it's needed to get a decent job, absolutely!
How are you grading your unit studies?
How do you count credits for Highschoolers that do work release?
😊
Write everything down as their doing it…. It’s so much easier later on.
Do you have any suggestions for other great homeschool channels that follow a similar homeschool style as you have, and also has high school content? We homeschool similar to y’all, and next year we will be rolling into high school, so I’m hoping for more content and encouragement there!
My question is what is a credit equal to in your state? The most a high school student is able to earn per year in our state would be between 20-30 for all 4 years of high school. Since each one is about 120-150 hours per subject per year, I can't see how my student would be earning 20 in one year alone? Wow, he could graduate next year as a sophomore then!
Our state is one of few that track credits differently! Minimum credit hours to graduate is 46. 😊 One credit = 60 hours of instruction. 29 credits come from core subjects alone. It can be confusing to others when sharing high school stuff, so I backed off that a little! 😊 Hope that helps!
do you have a video on how you discuss budget to spend on curriculum?
Hey there! I haven't done a video of that sort yet! I don't really budget for curriculum...we just buy what we need. I do budget for extras though....printers, laptops, etc. ☺️
One year of Algebra 1 with Shorman is 1 credit for Algebra and .5 credit geometry. The second .5 credit geometry is met with Algebra 2. I think you misunderstood that.
Hey Rachel! I should have mentioned that our state tracks credits differently. What I was referring to is how we would credit the given courses per our states requirements. Sorry for the confusion there. 😊
@@SimplyLivingIt Oh interesting. I thought it was universal as in at least 80% of a course is 1 credit. Or 120 hours of work on the subject etc. Do you have a resource on how people can find awarding credit guidelines for their state? That’s also confusing for people living in more than one state for their high school years.
Yes, it can be super confusing! I use HSLDA for everything as well as mamas who have walked before me! 😊
How are you getting 2 credits for most subjects in 1 year? What do you put on transcript for job? My daughter has been working for a year. I was just wondering how they works?
Hey Jennifer! 😊 In our state,
a 1 year course = 2 credits. A one semester course =1 credit. His transcript will read "work release" for his specific working semesters. I did it in public high school but only as a senior. Be sure and check HSLDA for your state requirements in that department as each state varies! I hope this helps make sense of what I shared today. 💕
O wow!! Does your state require more credits to graduate? Yeah, I definitely need to look into how to add her work hours as credit. Thanks Jamie
Do you have a facebook group that is full of homeschooling high school mommas? The few I've found are run by someone who is also "selling" their classes.
Hey Janet, I don't! I'm sure there are facebook groups out there...I just dont spend much time there. 😊 I have found immense support here at our local co-op from mamas who have gone before me. It has helped in SO many ways.
How do you know how many credits your curriculum is worth?
Shormann math❓- are u able to do the lesson/problem over as with TT until you get it right? And (full of ❓❓-sorry) are u doing his diploma yourself? I’m thinking of going until the 12th grade & letting him go to GED classes. At ours, they have several career opportunities as they’re taking their GED classes.
Do you find that there is a good order to do IEW structure and style courses in? That part confuses me.
Hey friend! I don't have any advice there
..this is our 1st year's using structure and style. I'm sorry! I just looked around on their website and picked a level that would be appropriate for my boys. ❤️
Quick question. How many credits will he need to graduate? In our state most kids take 6-8 credits a year and need 24 to graduate. So the system must be very different.
Yes, I'm sorry! Our credits are tracked differently. 😊
Where did you get that transcript template?
I will see if I can link it!
What water filtration system do you use?
Hey! I use a Berkey
@@SimplyLivingIt thank you! I remember you saying something about it a while back but I couldn't remember what or when and I'm don't have the time to rewatch so many. Thank you for all your positivity and all that you do!
Julie, you are so welcome! Thank you!💕
HOW do you have 2 credits for things done in one year? I thought one credit, one year??
Most states, yes. Ours, not the case. 🙂
@@SimplyLivingIt nice!
How do you know how many credits each course is?
It depends on the length of the course and hours spent learning that specific subject. In our state, a one year course is worth two credits and a one semester course is worth 1 credit. However, that is not the case for all states. Check out HSLDA, I linked it above. There are so many helpful resources there! 💜
Has he done Shormann math Algebra 1 and 2?
Sorry I'm assuming credits must be calculated differently in your state. We only need 24 for all of high-school.
Yes, calculated differently here! He is doing Algebra 1 now. A one year course is 2 credits and a semester course is 1 credit. Sorry for the confusion!
My daughter is in the 6st grade so we have a long way but it looks exciting to homeschool teens, congratulations. It looks like you've done a outstanding job ❤️💫
Aw, thank you so much!!! 💓
