Hi kristi:-) I just wanted to say that my 8 yr old boy(who truns 9 in Nov and going into 4th grd )scored rather low in the english area this year on his SAT's, and I know SAT's are only for a guide, and are not the end all..... but our school really pays attention to scores, so at the approval of my...

Hi Julie, Thank you so much for your encouraging words:-) I really like the idea of the independent reading bookshelf. I saw somehting like that today at the school supply store. that i could use just for that! I just know mine are used to reading indepently. I must confess, I have not read aloud mu...

Carrie, I just have to say I completely agree with your decision not to use spiral bound. I have been homeschooling for 10 yrs and have had spiral bound texts or manuals and hole punched manuals for binders, and BOTH ended up tearing. I would prefer the books the way you have them. They will last mu...

Hi There:-) I;m new here but I thought I would try and answer based on what i've read on the site and in the catalog. You can add Drawn into the Heart of Reading level 6-7 and 8 and that should be sufficient for reading lang. arts., I think. But hopefully some of the more expereinced ladies on the H...

Thanks Melanie:-) You're right......that would be easy to add in:-) I'm so excited about all of the books with HOD and was hoping to use some of those for silent reading time, but don't want to spoil it if they are on the storytime/ read aloud list! I love the idea of the quilt rack turned upside do...

Hi everyone! I was wondering if there is silent reading time written in the schedule of the manuals? The books all look so wonderful and I know my kids will want to read some by themselves, as we are used to doing that too. i just know they will want to grab a book and go read. I noticed some of the...

That's a great suggestion Kathleen and yes i had planned to get the Bigger for math and English and for next year!:-) i'm so glad to hear the hands on activities and lessons in the book help bring the math to life and that your son enjoyed it so much. Thank you for sharing that with me and for your ...

After looking at the catalog a little better......I get it! so, please disregard my question! I see that my understanding was right that each package is an additional to the economy package. Can't wait to order the other goodies as well.
Love and Blessings,
Angie

Yeay!! I had to start with the economy package and then later will add the rest of the things we need before the school year begins:-) But I'm so excited!! Just to make sure I have this right........The deluxe package is only something you 'add to' the economy package, right?? Because ultimately, i ...

Thank you Carrie:-) I am looking forward to our school year with HOD!!:-) Oh and we are having the temps in the 100's too:-( I'm also in Southern Cal. (Inland area- Lake Elsinore) It is very hot!! But all in all, we can't complain. My heart goes out to all of those in the Mid West where all of the f...

We are starting Beyond at the end of August/ Sept.!!! I can't wait!:-)
I'll be using it with my 6 yr old daughter and 8 yr old son with extensions from DITHOR for my 8 yr old and Bigger Math and English lessons for him as well:-)
God bless you all,
Angie

Hi Gina:-) Thank you for sharing in my excitement! I can barely contain myself! On the one hand, i want to order everything ASAP but I'm afraid to get the box too early, beacuse I will have to hide it from my kids or they will want to break into all of the books!:-) It will be fun to hear about your...

I will be praying for you:-) and may the Lord comfort and strengthen you and give you His peace in this trial.
God bless you,
Angie
