Question: Help with Homeschooling?!?!?

Hi, We use the accredited A Beka dvd program to homeschool and I will be in 11th grade this year. How do we keep everything organized? Are the parents allowed to make study guides for our tests? How do you know what to study for quizzes and tests? Where do you put your homework since it doesn't need to be graded. My mom is always really busy so we need to use this dvd program. Also, please don't suggest another program instead of A Beka, because this is what we have already decided on. I just need some serious organizing tips. Where do you put the work and the graded tests and quizzes. Please help with any tips on Homeschooling, we are not used to this, because I just came from public school (which I hated) and we are VERY new to Homeschooling. So please help us in any way you can. Thank you so much...
I know we need to put everything in the envelopes when we send it off, but what about before then?

Answer: Hi, there! I think that a lot of things will be more clear to you once you start using the curriculum, but here is some advice anyways.

Yes, the parents are allowed to make study guides. However, just personally speaking, I take notes in every lesson, and instead of having your parents make you a study guide, you could at least takes notes on the review lessons, because A Beka always has at least one whole lesson dedicated to just studying for the upcoming test. That way, if you're writing down the information you need by yourself, it sticks with you better.

As to how you will know what to study for quizzes and tests, the teachers on the DVDs will tell you. For quizzes, they will give page numbers, and for tests, they will give chapter numbers. Again, in this case, I personally like to study my notes for whichever chapter we're having a test on. If not, you can study the comprehension checks at the end of each lesson(or so), or the chapter review at the end of every chapter, or the bold print terms throughout the specified pages/chapters.

I would suggest keeping your homework/classwork in a binder with tabs separating each class(chemistry, U.S. history, etc.) so that you can refer back to it when needed.

After your quizzes and tests are graded, you can put them in a filing cabinet, again labeling tabs for each class. This way, you can keep them all organized, and it'll be easy for you to average/weight the grades you made when the time for report cards comes.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy Home Schooling and I really hope it works out well for you! I've been using A Beka since 4th grade and it's been GREAT for me!
