Carrie, I appreciate the tremendous amount of time you took in considering the replacement math. I'm unclear, however, about the new activity plans. You mentioned you will be rewriting the activities for the guide. I just bought the guide this year and will have another child using the guide in a ye...

I always read ds to mean darling son and dd to mean darling daughter. I could be wrong though, that was more of an assumption on my part. :?: Other HOD lingo I had to learn this year (our first HOD year) LHTH=Little Hands to Heaven LHFHG=Little Hearts for His Glory BLHFHG=Beyond Little Hearts for Hi...

My 13dd enjoys reading on her Kindle, but prefers to hold the book. We found some of the RtoR titles free or at low cost on the Kindle. We did find it tough to match up the reading from The Famous Men of the Middle Ages so we are now ordering the actual book for my second daughter who will be using ...

Today we had our first HOD show and tell. We are new HOD users and were so pleased to discover other families in our area would also be using HOD this year, I thought it would be nice to get the families together for a monthly get together. This will give our kids a chance to share a project, verse,...

YAY! Enjoy. Love box day. It's like Christmas and birthday at the same time. Have fun taking it all in.
Happy Homeschooling

Wonderful! That's good to know. Thanks Lee Ann.

Thanks for the replies! I think I'm going to order the extras I need to have 11dd start up RtoR. I had her do some of the boxes in the RtoR guide today to be sure she could handle the reading in an appropriate amount of time. She did great and loved the Peril and Peace book. I just need to wait a fe...

Thank you for taking the time to respond. The real issue with the 11dd in Preparing in not independence. She is currently doing the reading about history box, science, rotating, and history project box on her own. She is used to being more independent than she is this year. We do the poetry, languag...

Welcome to the board! Pleased to "meet" you. I'm a new HOD user this year and loving it. So glad the Lord led us to HOD. Thank you for sharing your blog. Your kids are beautiful. I don't blog, but love to read all the great blogs the wonderful ladies on here post. Happy homeschooling.

Thank you sharing. Beautiful pictures. What a wonderful testimony they are. May they have many more years of happily ever aftering.

Thank you for sharing, Florence. You're story is inspiring. I'm rejoicing with you.

Great question! For my RtoR girl and older girl in Preparing it's definitely the independent history box. My younger preparing girl prefers the language arts box, especially dictation. My 5 year old's favorite is the learning about history in Little Hearts but storytime is a close second. I love all...

Ok, now I see, thank you very much ladies. She must have missed something because she put her princess back in unit 9. I agree it pairs nicely with Robin Hood. She's very happy to move Maid Marian over to Unit 11.

Hello Ladies, My dd is on Unit 11 day 4 of RtoR. She is 13 and does most of the guide with me checking in with her in the morning and again at the end of the day which is why this whole "issue" happened today. In the Independent History box it says to draw a falcon and put in Unit 12 box 10, which s...

Lynn,
Thank you for sharing this story. I love reading all your posts. You're an encouragement and blessing as well as a living example of a real mom living for Christ.
