Here's my 2 cents... :wink: I know a lot of other families who use HOD carry the guides over from one school year to the next. We're doing the same thing with Bigger this year since we're only in Unit 3 right now (we came back to HOD after doing something else in the fall). I wouldn't want to to sto...

The Beyond guide has Carrie's hands-on plans for Singapore 1A & 1B. We are in the same situation. My dd is in LHFHG doing Singapore 1A & 1B. I sold my Beyond guide when I needed $ to purchase other curriculum this fall when I tried to combine my oldest two (kicking myself now). :cry: When I reordere...

I love reading about everyone else's week & seeing pictures! :D Julie - I love the cousin's play store! What fun! Emily - My kids LOVED the seek & find container when we did it the other year! This week we finished days 4 and 5 of Unit 2 in Bigger and LHFH G and are 3 days into Unit 3 in Bigger and ...

If you click on "members" on the top right of the forum you'll see a list come and on the right are blogs/websites...though there are 42 pages to look through.

We use Singapore, but LOVE this game for reviewing math facts (addition or multiplication)... You need graph paper, dice (specialty ones 1-10 are great but regular could work, too), and colored pencils. Each player needs a piece of graph paper that has a section marked off to make a big grid (20x20 ...

There are a lot of great homeschool rooms & ideas out there, but try to figure out what will work best for you and your kids. As long as you have a couch, table/chairs and plenty of floor space for activities you're ready to use HOD for now. :wink: When we began homeschooling a few years ago we used...

We have used LHFHG & Beyond. At first I thought it wasn't enough as my ds LOVES science & hands-on experiments, but looking back (and hearing my son talk about experiments we did 2 years ago now) I know it was enough and I'm thankful we didn't have experiments planned everyday in the guide. Now if h...

You sound like where I was about a month ago. :D Only we returned to HOD after 4 months of trying other popular curriculum that I thought I could use to combine my two oldest. God led us back to HOD and I'm so thankful!!! Just wanted you to know (if you do decide to come back to HOD) you're not the ...

We were back in school on Wednesday this week. It was a nice to ease back into school 3 days this week after our long Christmas & New Year's break. :D I am so thankful to be back with HOD! It makes my job "easier"! :wink: My ds always loves to incorporate Legos into his work whenever possible, so he...

Welcome to HOD! I will help you with Bigger since I have the guide for my son this year. :D For Units (weeks) 1-8 you'll need: A First Book in American History (history box) Journeys in Time (history box) Stories of Great Americans (history box) Little Pillows (Bible study box) Hymns for a Kid's Hea...

We completed UNIT 1 this week in Bigger & LHFHG (we made the switch back to HOD last week). It was a busy, but very fun week! :wink: You can see pics of our activities from Tuesday: http://ourlittlethinkers.blogspot.com/2011/12/lots-of-artwork.html And our activities from Wednesday - Friday: http://...

Our HOD box arrived this morning (Thank you Austin boys for super-fast shipping!) and we began this afternoon! I was going to wait until Monday, but my dd pulled her books across the table as I unloaded the box and was ready to start - how could I say no!? :wink: It is so nice to be back in the groo...

Key to the Treasure was used for Beyond (Storytime - mystery). I believe it's out of print according to another post. It is a good mystery. My son enjoyed listening to it last year. He kept wanting me to read ahead everyday! :D I haven't read the Oz book and I don't know about Heaven's Heroes, so I ...
