Boy, I am somewhat embarassed by my lack of memory, lack of what I don't know - I had asked the question already about Preparing and my 7th grade dd and had received wise counsel and yet, I needed to be reminded (by that little voice in my head) to take a second look at that initial response from Ca...

I decided to give Beyond a try just 10 weeks ago for my ds who is in 2nd grade. He has been a struggling reader but finally progress has been made once mommy figured out he's an auditory learner and needed HOP. Well, as I look ahead and plan the budget for next year I'm realizing that he really won'...

No weekly report here. We had decided to take a relaxed week since the PS was on spring break which turned out to be a good thing because on Wednesday, my ds who is working on Beyond got a stomach flu and now a day later the youngest ds and oldest ds are both sick so no school at this house for the ...

Mary, that is such a wonderful answer to prayer for your Dad. I hope and prayer that all continues so well from here on for him and your family....

We had a great week in Unit 10 in Beyond. My ds studied the ocean floor and its importance. Of course, little brother had to join in on the fun. It is amazing that something so easy to construct with minimal expense can make a lesson more understandable and easily understood! http://i256.photobucket...

I fixed it Mary! I did it, I did it!!!! Oh me oh my, I'm figuring this fancy dancy computer stuff out all on my own. This is too much fun! Actually, it has inspired me to finally begin journaling in a scrapbook our homeschooling adventures for all of my kids. Heidi

I am using Beyond Little Hearts with my 2nd grade ds. We are on week 9 and were working on the arts and crafts project for the week - a starfish. Well, I have another little ds who is a young 5 who loves to join in when he finds it interesting (or is it an opportunity to see how well I can multi-tas...

Okay, I saved the photo to the photobucket site but I still don't understand how to get it to be within the message. Can you walk me through it. What buttons, in what order, special coding? Ack. Step 2?

I want to post my week in review but I don't have a blog but I did make sure that I took a picture of my boys working on a project from Beyond and would love to post it but I'm not computer savy - help!?

Open The Eyes of My Heart - one of my favorite songs that I find myself singing or praying many times throughout the day. I have finally found a perfect time for this study - I fix the kids their lunch and sneak off to the living room and read and reflect and listen and then ponder.....

I've had this book on my shelf and recently took it back down to really focus on devotional/growing time for me - an area that I desperately need work on. I've read Lesson 1 but will reflect more on it this evening after the children are in bed and will listen to the music then (Michael Smith versio...

I so very much appreciated all the valuable advice and insight. I hadn't really given much thought to what my education philosphy has been. I've been hsing for now almost 4 years and only within this past year have I really begun to think about what my philosophy versus how I learned as a child and ...

I didn't realize you all would remember me. Sometimes in this big www one can feel like a little fish - while I haven't an answer to my question - yet - it sure was a special to see your notes tonight. Made my day!

I'd love to be able to do this with my dd next year but she is entering the 7th grade level in her studies. I'm using a lower level right now for my 2nd grade son and while he wouldn't be ready for Preparing as he isn't reading on his own yet, this is the kind of curriculum that you actually can han...
