I think that sounds like a great plan, Sheila! Carrie always encourages you to go for "developmental level" rather than grade or age level and if that's where your little guy places, then that's where he is right now. I would check my state requirements, however, as you might need to add more gramma...

:lol: I think Mary described it as being able to eat a whole elephant, Carrie just helps you do it one bite at a time....or something along those lines, can't remember the exact wording! I agree, just looking at the guide does not overwhelm me. And, it's not filled with coutless little projects that...

No suggestions, but sending a great big hug you way... (((((hugs))))) That's wonderful, what you're doing for your friend and I'm sure your friend truly appreciaties your help during her trials. I don't know what the answer is, but I'm sure the Lord will bless you and work this for good in some way....

How exciting!! Doing the happy dance for ya!!

Thank you, Mary! That was very encouraging!

Hi Deb! Well, the only one who can really answer your question is at convention right now :lol: so I would say, look at the sample and then do a search of this message board....Carrie did talk about the activities on a post or two. There is something planned for each week (I think) but I don't know ...

This is from the CLP website:

Pioneers and Patriots - 3rd grade
Boys and Girls of Coloniel Days - 4th grade
Stories of the Pilgrims - 4th grade

This should satisfy your ISP that you are doing 4th grade work, maybe??

Hi Marcia! I did use MFW K before using Little Hearts. I am a HODie for life, but I won't lie to you, we loved MFW K. It was the perfect fit for my kiddos but, it was their preschool, K year and I had done nothing with them (except read and puzzles and lots of art and play :wink: ). I do think that ...

I've not used R&S yet, but do you think he's had enough grammar to move into R&S grammar grade 3?? That might help with your ISP problem. I do think that Beyond's history, science, poetry, Bible, storytime and other activities (art, geography, timeline) are enough for you. Do you have to show them t...

Hi Ann! I'll be starting Beyond sometime in July. My twins are 7.5 and my baby is 6. We have never officially finished Little Hearts :? and I really want to before we start the next level. We are in north MO so we may be fairly close! We just drove up to West Union, Iowa on Monday to pick up a new-t...

If your dc are past the emerging readers, that is when you start using the Drawn Into the Heart of Reading program. Please, check out the HOD main website and go to that page. The packages listed as boy interest or girl interest or classic on the Beyond page are to use with the storytime box in the ...

Hi Angie! :D :D :D WELCOME :D :D :D I agree with Gina, Beyond would probably be your best bet. We'll be doing Beyond this year and mine are 6 and 7.5 so we are close to same ages! There are 2 spelling list and you have 3 choices for reading in Beyond, so you would have your bases covered with that. ...

Just wanted to send my sincere *CONGRATULATIONS*!! I always wanted a big family, but I was very fortunate to get the 3 I have. I am always so very happy to hear of others getting their dreams come true!

Keep us posted, and we will all be praying for a healthy pregnancy!

You are cracking me up!!! I seriously needed some down time today, and have been missing you all lately, and Susie...this is what I have missed! LOL with my HOD sisters!!! Ok, I will have to admit that I have fairly laid-back, easily entertained, rarely (if ever) bored kids....and, yes, I have been ...

Here's the deal. At first I was gonna do MFW-K between LHTH and LHFHG because the maturity level of reading and comprehension in MFW-K is below that of Lil Hearts. Well upon further investigation I see that most of the science topics covered in MFW are also in Lil Hearts. So she would be getting th...
