So glad HOD was such a blessing to your family!

Yes, that is what we are supposed to do for DITHOR
It will be mentioned on day 6 and day 11 in TM, if you are starting a new book to update the calendar with your child.

What great encouragement you ladies are! :D My verse for this year is Psalm 42:1 As the deer pants for the waterbrooks, so my soul pants for You, O God. On January 1 st during my morning devotions, I kept hearing these words: "Come away with Me and I will show you the deeper things of life". With an...

Well, I used to keep them pristine, but I make small notes with pencil now and I have highlighted some in my guides. Mostly in the math section to get the main idea for explanation! :wink: As kiddo's get older they are using the manual more and more on their own. My ds is about the start CTC and I'm...

For the skills you mentioned for your daughter, I believe the other R&S books would be great for her! It seems as though you have it covered, doing the right side of Beyond and the left side of LHFHG. :D Are you doing the Thornton Burgess books for story time? How is your daughter with math? Are you...

Thank you for sharing... Sounds like you are on a great start in you homeschooling journey! HOD has been a true blessing to many, many families!

What helped my schedule this year after we moved, are several realizations :idea: :idea: :idea: 1. If my goal is to be done early, than I am stressing and rushing and missing part of the beauty of individualizing school for my kiddo's. :oops: 2. If I go to bed on time, I can get up on time my day en...

I have been reading and reading this post, taking it all in and am so blessed that Carrie and Mike have been so kind to hear the voice of those who are using HOD curriculum! Thank you so much for allowing the Lord to use your family as a blessing to myself and all the other Mom's who have written on...

.......was a blast! As the kick off option, we choose to make a scrapbook page, with biographical information. What a great idea Carrie!!!! :D :D Ds 7 finished ER before Thanksgiving and we started on Dithor 2 with him this week as we joined big brother who is doing Dithor 4 and was ready for his ne...

The oral review questions in 3 have really helped ds to retain what he learned last year and he is doing a great job. I even used TM for R&S 2 and liked the extra teaching tips, since English is my 2nd language!

What an encouraging post, it is great to see the different areas that kiddos are making great strides! :D With my dd5, I noticed great improvement in her reading as we are getting to final lessons in TRL combined with some gentle ETC activities. She is beginning to see the "special sounds" in the wo...

Ds finished Preparing today!!!! It has been a great learning experience for us. The subject he liked most was history :D :D with the history projects (not written narration, :lol: :lol:, Math was greatly tolerated :P :P, now that I sit with him to keep him focused :wink: he is doing 100% better!!! y...

We are doing Beyond for the 2nd time around at our house and we are loving it even more than the first time around! :D :D Hope your family will be as blessed with HOD as mine is being blessed! Don't know what I would have done without the Lord's leading and pointing me to HOD :P :P Success and love ...

Thank you so much for sharing your technique and taking the time to go through these paintings. It looks like a ton of fun and I may have to buy some more brushes and paper to paint along with ds.
We are starting CTC at the beginning of next year!

Your boys did a great job! I like the detailed pictures on the bottom. Thank you for sharing with us

In Bigger we mostly used a BJU press children's dictionary, if ds could not find a word, we would look together online or in the 1828 Webster Dictionary we have!We have like using different resources! Occasionally the meaning of the word was in the text, so we have used that as well. :D :D Success i...
