I just wanted to say that I too experienced this! My oldest son is like me and very "mathy", we have done Singapore with him all the way, absolutely no problems at all. Then I got to my next child and OH MY... there were plenty of days with tears and frustrations and I thought is it me maybe I am te...

Yes, just thought I would say that we are doing grade level math and rod and staff and also DITHOR 4/5.... so with all that is is perfect for us!! :D :D So even if you wanted to start of as is and then add the extensions later once you get into the swing of things and get an idea if it would be good...

We have five boys and ohhhhh my is it expensive... two of them eat like grown men! :D This is just what we do, if they have eaten all of their breakfast, then I have allow them to eat as many baby carrots as they want before lunch (they usually do not go crazy though). Then after lunch if they eat a...

I just wanted ot tell you that I feel like Bigger is totally enough for 4th grade. I am doing it for my 4th grader without the extensions. I really struggled with deciding whether or not to do them when we first started. I decided to start it as is and take it from there. I am SOOOO glad I did not d...

I just wanted to bump this for you, so that someone might see and answer the science question!

I was just going to comment on the rod and staff... The goal is to finish level 8 by 12th grade, so doing level 7 for 9th and 10th grade and level8 for 11th and 12th grades. If this would be your goal also, you could look at the table of contents and see if they have already covered the content in t...

I also think this is huge!! It was for me, I have bought so many wonderful homeschool ciriculum in the past (my hobby)... mainly had used one program with lots of extra stuff I thought we needed along the way, ha! I have found sooooo much peace here with the decision to stay and we have never LOVED ...

Heart mom, I am happy to share :D I saw someone else post it a while back when I was getting ready for bigger. If I am wrong then someone pleease correct me! There are 34 weeks in bigger and each week you have 1-poem, 1-history notebooking, 1-science experiment page, and 1-science notebooking so you...

That is wonderful, I am excited for you.... It really is a fun program and I am glad that my son is able to do it mostly independently, but I think I would really enjoy it too :wink: :lol: ! But as far as how far should you let her go, I really think it is important for you to check up on her maybe ...

WoooHoooooo.... CONGRATULATIONS!!! HAPPY DAY

I am assuming that you have already looked over the placement chart and you are really just torn between the two? Then this is what I would do for the will be 8yr old and 10 yr old... since you are new to HOD and you have two boys (which I have all boys), I would probably do Bigger with the extensio...

We are doing Bigger this year with two sons. I'm ordering my binders from Staples but need some advice on quantities and sizes. Do you keep separate 3 ring binders for each subject or do you combine? What size are your binders? Each child has two 3 ring binders (I think they are 2 inch, I thought 3 ...

We are using a common place book for my son for CTC this year! So I am thinking the answer is yes! My son is doing it comletely independently, but I know I bought one for him and he copies his scripture memorization in it...

I am so sorry about your baby :cry: To answer your question though, I am pretty sure that latin and greek are not in any current guides. I am not sure what will be in the future guides, there would have to be some kind of language option in highschool guides I am sure. I do know that I have seen whe...
