Re: How Many Composition Books

Those are very pretty!

I was waiting to see the answer to this question. I decided to go ahead and buy a bunch of binders and composition books. They will all end up being used at some point. I actually will have to hide the composition books I want for school. :mrgreen:

A big thank you! Now waiting for box day

I want to shout out a big thank you to those that helped with my deciding which program to order. A Big Thank You! I decided to go with CtC. I ordered everything, including the extension package, except math (we will be using Teaching Textbooks). Now we must test our patients as we wait for box day....

Extension packages?

I am almost 100% sure I am going with CtC. Thank you everyone for all your help! I am putting together my cart now. :D

I am going to order the extension package for CtC and for all future programs. Are the books for the extension packages written into the schedule?

Re: new to HOD with a question ~ or many *wink*

Thank you, Lee Ann! I am sorry your daughter is going through it now. You and her will love homeschooling. I thought it might take awhile to get my son back to himself but it only took weeks. It is hard to find a CM style curriculum that is put-together and ready to go. HOD looks so perfect. Happy h...

Re: CtC or RtR ~ 1st yr w/HOD ~ 13-year-old

I have never done so much thinking and debating. lol Thank you Lynn! I was pretty set on RtR until I read your post. He has only started written narration and has an off and on love for writing.

CtC or RtR ~ 1st yr w/HOD ~ 13-year-old

I feel it would be best for us (my 13-year-old son and me) to start with either CtC or RtR. What are your thoughts and suggestions? This will be our first year using HOD. We have been using mainly lit based curricula, WinterPromise and Sonlight.

Re: new to HOD with a question ~ or many *wink*

Thank you so very much! I really appreciate the help! My son went to a brick and mortar school for k and 1st. It was not a good situation. K was horrible and he had a very unkind teacher that did not like working with a gifted student. First was better, he had a wonderful teacher. My son quickly lea...
