My copy just came in the mail today! It looks great- I can't wait to start. I think having a place to chat with other moms using it would be wonderful!

Oh Tansy, that was so beautiful! I am happy for you and your family and the sweet little girl who will be getting such a loving home! The Lord is so good, He always knows what is best for us.

Hi Lisa! I asked a similar question recently. And my understanding was, yes, a 4th/5th grader would read the extension pack books for further history reading, and the DITHR books for the lit study. Hope this helps!

Allison

Thanks Carrie! I appreciate your help.

Allison

Thanks Carrie! I was going to wait until summer to order Little Hearts, but I love Bigger so much that I can't wait to start doing school with my little one too!

Allison

I was just about to order Little Hearts and I got a security warning page. I'm thinking it's because of the recent web site change. Anyway, just wanted to make sure it was safe to order.

Allison

Thank you my3sons! That is exactly what I needed to know.

Just wanted to say that I received the Bigger Teacher Guide book on Friday and have been reading it all weekend. I absolutely love this curriculum! :D There is sooooo much in the guide, and it is so well laid out and thought out......I am so pleased :) I can't wait to get started! My first question ...

Hi annaz! I have not used HOD yet. But I did place my order for Bigger and will hopefully be starting in a couple weeks. We did use MFW Adventures last year and while I did like it, the second part of the year was not as enjoyable as the first. And I did tweak the whole thing! I was all set to use E...

Thanks for the bump Tansy! :D I really appreciate all the replies. I think you guys are right. I will go ahead and start him in 1B and see how it goes. My older son is great at math but this little guy really struggles with it. He finds the patterns, but doesn't understand the why's. Maybe going bac...

That is so great to hear! Keep us posted.

I am thinking of changing one of my ds's to Singapore when we start Bigger. I did the placement test and he placed in 1 B. But when I look at the topics covered in 1 B, he's covered most of them already. I bought 1B and 2A last year at some point, so I took them out and after looking through them, 2...

Thank you for all the replies. I did check the R&S samples (thanks for the site ). With that and Carries opinion I'm going to order the 3rd level for my 3rd grader. Thanks again!
I can't wait to order.
Allison

Which level of Rod and Staff English should I order for my 3rd grader? My 2nd grader will be fine with 2nd, but I think it may be too simple for my 3rd grader. He has completed FLL, most of PLL, and a little of FLL 3. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Allison

Thank you for all the great advice. I think I'll go ahead and start next month. Now I just need to place my order. This board is great- you are all so supportive
