Quetion about Beyond History

The American Pioneers and Patriots book...how much does it cover? I was able to preview the Stories of the Pilgrims one at our conference, but I forgot to look a this one more closely and wondered if it took us all the way up through the Revolutionary War or not. TIA!

Re: Question on where to go next? 4 yr old ready for LHFHG?

i think a 4 yo could definitely do LHFHG at half speed, depending on the child's interest level and personality. i am using it with my kindgergartener and my 3 yo was doing LHTH in the fall. after a few weeks of that, she just started doing LHFHG with us and she loved it. however, i do my own math a...

History reading progression in Beyond

i was curious...in the guide for beyond, is the history scheduled in such a way that you are reading the books from beginning to end, or does it jump around to different stories within a book (i.e. pgs monday pgs 34-36, Tuesday pgs 86-89)? in little hearts in the history stories for children, we jum...

Re: I hate to even ask this

another thought: my kids are the same age spread as yours...next year they will be 6, 4, and 2. i have decided to combine the oldest two (except doing right sides obviously) because my middle child can listen to history lessons, etc. and retain almost better than her older sister. i figure i'll reev...

Re: Reading Made Easy vs. Abeka

Hello! We are using LHFHG and using Abeka as the phonics program. i have not used RME, so i can't speak to that at all. i knew i want a solid, tried and true phonics program to teach my daughter to read and i felt like Abeka provided us that. you are right that abeka is laid out well, and easy to te...

Re: I'm not sure why I'm writing...

at first glance, being new to HOD myself and not knowing much about your kids besides what you just shared, i would think you could at least combine your 6 1/2 year old and 8 1/2 year old in Beyond. they may have to do different "right sides", but it sounds like they could do the same left sides if ...

Re: Considering HOD - Beyond or Bigger

I'm assuming you are asking for an honest response to "what do you NOT like about HOD?" I really thought hard about this, as i do not want you to get a bunch of moms saying, "It's perfect!" because that would seem unrealistic to you. First and foremost, I truly love this curriculum. We use Little He...

Re: can i start a thread about food?

Hi Ladies! To save money (and time), I do a lot of prep over a day or two once a month and then enjoy pulling our dinners (and often lunches) out of the freezer for the next few weeks. The food never tastes like the freezer and I add a salad, other fresh veggies or fruit to the meals each evening. ...

Re: video for 18 month old

I have loved loved LOVED the Baby Praise videos. My little girl is just about to turn 20 months and this is one video I have put on for her. My favorite is Born to Worship . They are kind of like Baby Einstein except set to worship music then they'll show kids playing, smiling, flowers, ABCs, 123s,...

video for 18 month old

okay, i'm as anti-television as the next cm homeschooler. BUT, if i could just get 20 min the morning, my life would be SO much easier! i just need her to be still for 15 or 20 min, and Elmo does not engage her. i remember that being the first video my older kids watched for a few min. Does anyone h...
