Re: Not Giving 5YO Time He Needs

I think you could do Bigger for your older sons needs and meet your five-year olds needs. It sounds like your five-year old needs mom time, maybe outdoor time, exercise, boy play, etc. I wouldn’t label him late bloomer yet, but you know him best. Traditionally, school started at ages 8 or 9 with the...

The Evolution book is High school (9th - 12th: Master books web-site) The World of Chemistry is High School level (see the Master book web-site that has...

Re: Dithor 2 book order

In answer to the phonics / emerging reader question, I thought I would share what I did and what I’m currently doing: My daughter currently doing LHFHG is doing it with Rod and Staff first grade readers and phonics; it is similar to pathway readers and phonics. When she completes the grade 1 phonics...

Re: Little hearts Science & other ?s

Just wish that math box would line up 😂 Are you using Singapore 1A / 1B that is recommended for first grade with LHFHG? For first grade, you use the Singapore 1A / 1B schedule in the appendix and skip the box in the daily plans for math. Or, if you don’t like Singapore, you can choose your own firs...

Re: Little hearts Science & other ?s

Hi! I am wondering if anyone can share some tips for the little hearts science? Do you focus mostly on the activity? It’s obviously very brief in the text and not very exciting. Also- My DD6 is maturing a lot lately, and I’m feeling like the only things that are age/developmentally appropriate for ...

Re: Notebooking Pages: plans to print in NON high-gloss paper?

Ladies, I've been away from the board for awhile while writing new products. We've also been with our son Greyson back and forth to Mayo clinic many times this past year (and just got home Tuesday again) as he has Crohns/colitis and continued complications from the total removal of his colon he exp...

Re: Dianne Waring CDS

Has anyone added the other cds too? True tales and I think digging deeper? We did! They aren’t necessary with the guides, and I didn’t schedule them or try to coordinate them with the scheduled CDs that they did on their own. We played them in the car, and we all enjoyed them as extra history for f...

Re: CTC- what in the world

Yes, Story of the Ancient World does have a Biblical Worldview. My kids and I loved the Diana Waring audios so I am probably partial to them. I agree with Rice though that from CTC thru MTMM you will miss huge amounts of the history by dropping the audios. I’m sorry that they didn’t work for you, bu...

Re: CTC- what in the world

Is it Diana Waring? There is a Biblical worldview and particular insights to the history that is specific to her audio. Some of the history presented is only on her audio. I agree with Stephanie that doing their learning weakness can help later on as they encounter information presented in a variety...

Re: Skipping notebook pages CTC & up

I wouldn’t skip them. There are numerous projects or reading or maps that use the notebook pages. I’m thinking of a few in CTC that wouldn’t work on NB paper. I don’t know if HOD would consider it to eliminate this yearly frustration for a lot of moms, but color copying the pages with permission (th...

Re: Notebooking Pages: plans to print in NON high-gloss paper?

Have you tried extra fine sharpie pens? They work really well on the high-gloss paper. I buy a pack of multiple colors to help with the coloring of the time-line drawings. They can be found at Staples or Office supply stores or on Amazon. I have read over the years a number of moms wanting the paper...

Re: What do I do if we missed a year?

Hi!

I wanted to encourage you to start a new thread for your son. Since this thread is a year old, and your new questions are a different problem /topic, I think a new thread would help you get the answers you need. :D

Re: Understanding HS Credits

Hello, I use fast transcripts on-line, and I do pay the low annual fee each year. I started paying it when my oldest was in 9th, and my two oldest are currently in HS. I have found it helpful to record the transcript as I go. I print a copy each spring to have a hard copy of the transcript for each ...

Re: Online Planners vs Paper Planners

I find the way I record these items is different when I am using HOD then when I am homeschooling without HOD. With HOD I am doing the following: We highlight the small boxes with I’s, S’s, and T’s each day as they are completed. This shows the work that is being done for school. Since the HOD guide...

Re: Geared more towards exposure or “memorizing” of material?

Hello Rachel, You have a great question. I haven’t found any of my children to walk away from a homeschool year fully fluent in every subject. I think their learning is much more than exposure, but I also think it is much less than complete mastery with full fluency. What I do find though is to be a...
