I forgot to add that my 8 yr old will be doing Primary Math 2A AND 2B and my 6 yr old will use Primary math 1A and B.
I will also purchase separately the teachers guides for Singapore Math, so I can have the answers and any extra help. I'm a teachers guide kinda gal!:-)

I have a plan now for my 8 and 6 yr old, thanks to all of you wonderful ladies who've helped me try and figure all of this out!!!:-) Here it is: Using Beyond with Both my 8 and 6 yr olds, also planning to buy the emerging readers set for my 6 yr old, and the DITHOR w/ the 2-3 books for my 8 yr old. ...

Hi Mary Ann,:-) I am new here and have children of similar ages as you. My daughter is 6 (turning 7 in December- but finishing 1st grade homeschooling) and my son who is 8 (turning 9 in Nov.) I plan to use HOD for the first time and am very excited!! I also have a highschooler whom I homeschool. I a...

Hi there and welcome:-) I am new here as well and trying to make these same decisions, only decidint between Beyond and Bigger. I also don't want to use more than one program. I have a highschooler who is using another curriculum, but I am going to use HOD with my 8 yr old and 6 yr old (Lord willing...

Thank you all again!!!!!!!!!!! I have been so confused about which to use- Bigger or Beyond. I really appreciate all of your advice! I do plan to follow Carries advice and use the right side of Bigger for my oldest. He will do Rod and staff 2 and Primary math 2 with cheerful cursive. My daughter who...

Thank you all so much for taking the time to clarify how the read alouds work:-) There are so many good books to chooses from that it will be hard to decide! I know my daughter likes the girls book list and my son really likes the boys book list! Of course, he can read many on his own, but I think i...

Can I ask how many biographies will be read over the course of the year? how many fiction, etc? I am looking at all the books and am a bit over whelmed!! :? I'd like to get the Drawing level 2 for my 8 yr old for independent reading, but I also want the girl and boy selections for read aloud time! w...

Welcome to he homeschool family!!!!! I have been homeschooling for 10 yrs and have a 15 yr olds boy, 8 yr old boy and 6 yr old girl. I am planning to use HOD for the first time this coming school yr and am very excited about it! I only have 3 kids and for me personally think i want to combine as muc...

I just wanted to tell you all the good news.......:-) I spoke with my ISP director today at our used curriculum sale and told her about my plans (LORD WILLING) to use HOD and how I wanted to use Rod and Satf English 2 and Singapore primary mathematics 2a, and she said that I may still move him up to...

Thank you Melnaie, Mary, Ann, Sandy and everyone for such a warm welcome and so freely giving me advice. What a ownderful group of ladies!! Melanie, also thank you so much for looking up the actual grade level of those books! I appreciate that so very much. I HOPE that will satisfy my ISP. However, ...

Thank you Mary:-) Can I ask how old your kids are that you're using HOD with? I appreciate so much everyones advice. It is hard to decide which is best. I feel that if I choose Bigger, i'm doing a disservice to my daughter who's 6 and if I choose Beyond, I'm hoping it's enough for my son entering 4t...

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome and advice:-) I truly appreciate it!! I just have to pray, pray, pray and see what is best for our family. I can see why starting with Beyond would work well and I would probably just get Primary math 1A for my 6 yr old and 2A for my 8 yr old, also using bu...

Thank you Melanie and Gina:-) The only thing I thought I should mention is that i did use Abeka 1st grade lang arts with my daughter this year and she reads really well, though would be bore with books that are too long. She does read chapter books though. also, my 8 yr old did 3rd grd curriculum th...

Hi Gina:-) Thanks so much for your advice below regarding which level to begin:-) I am so torn so I can use all the advice I can get!! And Wow! You are from So. California too??!! That is so neat. I am planning to attend CHEA, but only on Saturday this year. The year before last, i stayed in a hotel...

Hi!! I noticed that CHEA of Ca is not on the schedule for homeschool conferences but was hoping you would be there! Is that a possibility this year?
God bless you!
