Congratulations You are going to love it HAPPY BOX DAY...

I photo copy them and keep them in my teacher notebook that I have. Then when they need a new one it is right there and they do not need my guide all the time . cutting up a photocopy and glue ing it onto lined paper-leaving the line underneath blank.This stops him getting lost and helps him stay on...

Honestly, I just have him do one lesson per day. If I counted correctly, there ends up being 145 lessons in all in the Rod and Staff book level 3, if you do all lessons, reviews, and extra activites. In Bigger there end up being 150 days in all (34 units x 5 days). So there would end up being 5 days...

I am thinking that at the beggining of each unit the suggestion is " You may choose to have students copy part of the poem for this unit each day"... so I have taken it as a suggestion not neccesarily a must. In that case, what I have done is have my kiddos copy a portion each day of the unit, like ...

I know that I already talked a lot, but i wanted to answer one more of your questions 3) I've been told that HOD is a great program for parents with active boys, but it seems like a lot of reading and writing (which my son struggles w/writing -but not w/comprehension!). Right now, just doing short w...

I just wanted to share that if writing is not so fun for your son and since this kind of learning will all be kinda new I dont think it would be such a bad idea to start in BIGGER. I have a son who was 9 when we started Bigger and is 10 now. He is in the 4th grade. He is also very smart and loves no...

I just wanted to add that I am thinking that it is because Carrie has metioned that Rod and Staff 7 and 8 are sufficient for highschool level grammar. I am doing this with my own son who is in the 9th grade. He will do level 7 for 9th and 10th grades then finish by doing Rod and Staff level 8 for 11...

This is so much fun to see what others do Thanks for this. When I saw the old post come up, I wondered how it was going now, so cool

I have not actually used Little Hearts yet, I just purchased it to use for next year. Since I do own it and I didn't see many answers on this I looked at it and thought I would respond. But frist I was wandering if you could help us out a little :D What unit of LHFHG are you on, and are you having t...

They are used for painting every week in the poetry in CTC, it is soo wonderful. I always love to check it out as my son is going along the way (as he is totally independant) .

I am thinking that the miller paints and paper are for CTC. We are using both bigger and CTC, and I am sure that I ordedred them for CTC

I just wanted to agree with Patty, could you share a little more about why they place in the guides according to skill? I will share that we are new to HOD and at first I was dead set on doing 4 programs. I am soooooo glad that I did not start out that way (after listening to the wisdom of the lovel...

I am doing 7 and 8 days myself and it seems to be working just fine. I think I am doing it that way because in my HOD catalog under DITHOR pkgs it says next to some of the book titles in perenthesis the number of days (some say 7 and 8) to do each (if there are two books listed for a genre). Hope th...

Very smart hubby!!! You are all just cracking me up!! It is sooo much FUN to share in all this excitement... Wouldnt it be fun to have a box day party together (my kids already think i am crazy, even though they get excited too:lol: I love it)!!! :D :D And had to add that we also LOVE the big brown ...

I am sooooo excited for you and totally agree!! :D :D We also got all of our new school in this week (RTR, Preparing, and LHFHG), and I said the EXACT same thing to my husband and kids :D :D :!: I just cant wait for next year, because I am enjoying this year so very much... Looks like we will both b...
