Hats off to anyone who home school. I did it for 2 years with the covid lock down and I was not a fan. But if we had books like these it would have been so much easier.😀

Hey Katie! Harper is going into 3rd grade this year as well. This will be her 4th year with connections academy and we absolutely love it! I love that I actually get to be a part of her learning since she's here at home! We get to do science experiments which is Harper's favorite! I even get to do art with her! Homeschooling isn't always easy, but it is so rewarding! I wouldn't want it any other way!❤

I loved this video, very informative. I myself am starting homeschooling my 1st grader this year with Abeka! So a lot of my questions were answered. Thank you so much 💓 Do they keep track of your kids test scores, or improve ment or how does that work?

@LifeWithTheLovedays Жыл бұрын

Glad it was helpful for you 😄 So if you choose the accredited program, they will keep track of it. You will have to send in progress reports. If you choose non accredited (which is what I do) then you have to keep track of that yourself. Then, depending on your state laws, you may need to give progress reports to your local school district. Mine requires homeschoolers to submit a progress report at the end of each school year. It just depends where you live. Hope that helps!

I’m going to use Abeka for the upcoming school year for my 1st grader and Kindergartener. Would you recommend the DVD’s as well or do you think it’s not necessary? Im just worried I won’t be able to give enough attention to each child. I have 4 kiddos, each are 1 year younger than the other.

@LifeWithTheLovedays 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Mindy! Thanks for watching. So I personally have never used the DVDs so I can’t really speak on them but I know people RAVE about how great they are. I don’t find them necessary for me right now but everyone is different. The thing about the DVDs is that the teachers are teaching your child and you are guiding them through it. Without the DVDs, it’s just you teaching. So it’s really up to you. In your case with four kids so close in age, the DVDs might be a good option. But you could always start on your own and if you feel like you need the extra help, you could add on the DVDs after you get started. Hope that helps!
