A.C.E. 6 week update plus how we store our Paces 

😍😍😍

Aww thanks! ❤️❤️🥰

I order them from curriculumExpress.com . I believe they have a coupon code this week for 10% off!

Until 10/22/21 use OCT10e for 10% off. I saved $75 one year using their coupons. Love them

Yes. We only made it through about 108 of Learning to Read. He absolutely hated CLE but LOVED the Paces. He did them for 2nd-4th and we're taking a little break this year, but may come back to them.later.

We are! We just took a 2 week spring break and started our 4th quarter on Monday. My oldest 3 are on track to finish mid-May, and my 2nd grader maybe beginning of June. I'm in the midst of praying and researching about what to tweak for next year, but for the most part the plan is to stick with ACE as our core next year. ❤️ I'm hoping to do an end-of-year update at the beginning of the summer. Hugs! Just remember the curriculum works for you, not the other way around.

I hear you on the political commercials!🤮 My oldest 3 kids are responsible for getting their own work done. One knocks it out by lunch the other 2 take lots of breaks and often have to be prodded to finish in the afternoon. I always do 1-on-1 with my 7yo around 10am for an hour. I don't do my 4yo's school every day, but his is usually some time in the afternoon when he needs a distraction. My other kids randomly come to me when they need me to check something or listen to them read. We don't have a strict schedule (not my forte lol).

@@mycupoverflows7811 hello. How can a child with Celebral pulsey be accommodated in the ACE curriculum.

@@marthanamusoke7943 that would be a great question for the ACE homeschool help team. I'm thinking reading to them and they can answer orally, or if they're able to read, give you answers orally. I would also cut down on the number of subjects you do with them. My 2nd grader is doing 4 ACE subjects, and even with those, his reading has improved dramatically this year. I've been so impressed. Hugs! Hope you're able to accommodate this precious child. 😘

This topic has been a thorn in my side! 😩😂 My oldest (8th) is using Mastering Essential Math Skills for prealgebra and also doing a lesson a day of pre-geometry through ctcmath. My next 3 (6th, 5th & 2nd) are using the free math program from www.plainandnotsoplain.com The older 2 are doing 2 pages a day and the 2nd grader finished 2nd grade math and is slowly working on the 3rd grade math while doing some review on ctcmath. We were using ctcmath for several years, but we needed more regular review of learned concepts. They'll occasionally hit something they don't know, so I'll have them watch the lesson and do the questions for the topic on ctcmath for that day, then go back to p&nsp. I have the Learn Math Fast program and plan to try it next year. We'll see how that goes...😬

@@mycupoverflows7811 Hi! Thanks for your video and info. I am just looking into math curriculum for my 8th grade son and 6th grade twins, I was wondering, is there a reason you don't use ACE Paces for math? I came across your other video how you love ACE and are going back to it, but I see you are using something different for math. Have you tried it and don't like it? Or do you like CTC better? Thanks a bunch =)

I would wholeheartedly endorse switching over. As much as I've loved CLE, I'm pretty sure that we will go with ACE for my last 2 kids of 6. We went through exactly what you're experiencing, and the thought of doing it again gives me a headache. 😢 My 5th child will be in K next year and we may use CLE K and when we finish, ease into ACE 1st. I'm sitting with my 2nd grader in ACE and it's so great. He's gaining so much independence and confidence.

Sorry my 3yo is having a meltdown so I didn't finish... We don't use ACE math, and if your child is having success, do continue. Another option to consider is just do formal 3Rs ) reading, writing, and arithmetic) and use read alouds and interest-led learning for Science and history on the younger years (up to 4th or 5th grade) and then switch to formal book work. We used Beautiful Feet Books history of science one year for history and science and it was super enjoyable. I hope I'll outgrow my fear of burnout enough to use literature based learning again with my little ones.

@@mycupoverflows7811 thanks for all your input I really like your channel!

@@jessiemadanat5455 ❤️❤️ thank you! I wish I could come up with more frequent content, but I'm pretty boring lol! 😂

We have used ctcmath for the past 5 years, and I'm really pleased with it. My youngest 2 do not use it yet, but my 4 oldest (4rh, 7th, 8th & 10th grades) use it.

My daughter really likes them. They're very dated, and I don't believe they've ever been updated like the more common subjects. Some of the supplies were under an old-fashioned name, but by googling I was able to figure out everything she needed. She's worked on shading, perspective, watercolors, shadows, and shapes. I think she's doing facial expressions and comic book art right now. I've looked ahead and there's a felt board project in one of the later paces (thankfully we have a stack of leftover felt from previous project). It's a nice curriculum for a child who prefers very independent learning specifically from books (my daughter doesn't like video classes as much as book instruction). The Beginning Art is for Junior High and possibly early high school, and the Advanced Art is for high school. She'll be 9th grade next year, so she'll probably do the Advanced then. Hope this helps a bit!

@@mycupoverflows7811 that is so helpful thanks so much! We absolutely love ACE so hearing about some of those electives really helps. Thanks again :)

@@pointlesspencil917 you're so welcome! Happy I could help. 🥰

I think we finished 108 in Learning to Read (the red books), which I believe is about halfway through 1st grade. We did the corresponding LA books, so I think we were in 103 or 104 when we stopped, and that was doing it alllll of last school year and through the summer. If your little guy is still 1st grade age, I would recommend going down to half a lesson a day and taking a week off here and there to do a lapbook or something fun. I have never used ACE 1st grade (seriously rethinking that for my next little guy coming up!), So I don't know anything about it yet. At the point where we left off in CLE my 7yo was easily able to start ACE level 2 and it's even a little easy for him, which I LOVE. He still struggles with reading and reads aloud his Sci and SS to me.

@@mycupoverflows7811 Thank you so much! ❤
