Re: Toddler Activities?

Heidi, I'm in a similar place as you with only 2 kiddos, when your doing school with one the other is SOLO! My younger is 4 so that helps some, a little bit longer attention span and able to do more. I will admit to resorting to screen time occasionally for him, usually pbs kids. He can also do some...

Re: DITHOR Level Progression

I've been thinking about your question alot since I'm in a similar place with my DD. We haven't started DITHOR yet, just finishing up the ER but her reading ability I think is surpassed the Level 2 books (which I already bought). Anyway I wanted to point out to you that while there is a LEVEL 2 and ...

Re: Placement Question

Well, I'll take a stab at helping you since I've only done the first 6 units of LHTH with my DS4. At least it will bump your thread for you! I think your first plan of just doing LHTH with a different Bible and maybe different science book and add in the phonics/extra 3R's as you want. I think it wo...

Re: Little hearts slow???

I see you will also be doing Preparing next year which is a 4 day a week program. How about stretch Little & Beyond out doing them 4 days a week also!!! That would add a few weeks plus if you go half speed at the beginning of each for awhile you could do each guide in a year and half to be where you...

Re: Music portion of HOD

Obviously there's no right way to do this! What we do is halfway thru our school day we have a snack break and I play both the kids music then (beyond and lhth). Sometimes several times!!!

Re: Writing in Beyond

I'm not sure what the "right" answer is but this is what we do. We also use a Mead 3 lined paper for poetry work, with the space to draw on top. For spelling we always use white board, except on review weeks then we use regular wide-ruled paper. For storytime stuff and grammer we sometimes use white...

Re: New to this...when to start LHFHG

We are in the same spot too!! My ds just turned 4 in nov also!!! I started this fall just doing LHTH half speed, meaning we only did 2-3 boxes a day instead of all 5-6. But since the first of year, i could tell he was ready for more so we went to full speed. Right now we just got done w/ Unit 6! We ...

Re: Details of running a 4 day week

Hi! We started homeschooling our DD7 with Beyond and are doing 4 days a week! Loving it. We don't do math or anything on the 5th day. We use that day as our "going to town" day. A trip to the library, playdates, errands or a visit to the childrens museum and that day is full of other learning!! No, ...

Re: HOD and Awana verses?

I'm going to chime in and agree with Lora Beth too! We work on our "school" verses during the day and awana at a different time. Usually evening. Sometimes not till the car ride to church. :oops: and I'm a director of Cubbiess!!! Oh well, I figure if they were in ps school that's how the awana verse...
