Just a Thank You

A great big thanks to HOD for taking all the hassle out of finding a program. This year I have also had several families ask what we are using and I have directed them this way! Part of their asking is due to the intelligent history facts & fun that my 8-yr-old ds gives out. He has always liked hist...

Re: Does anyone schedule 4 days a week instead of 5?

I'm glad the info has been helpful to you. We also do school 4 days a week and have no problems keeping up. Some weeks we add one or two things to each day & complete the unit in a week. Other times we make up the work on a 'catch-up' or bored day. We also do school 2 days a week during the summer. ...

Our Year with Beyond . . .

went really well. I have recommended HOD to several friends. One of using it also, and one who will next year. My ds really LOVED the history, science, read alouds, and the Singapore math. Too bad he hates the reading and writing. That's just my son, and overall we feel this guide is GREAT!!! A spec...

I found the 'reply' button fairly quickly, but I still haven't figured out how to do a signature!

Re: Does anyone use an outside planner with HOD?

I do use a planner (the well planned day), although instead of using it as a 'planner' I use it to keep track of what we have already done. It is mainly for me and not the children's benefit. I really need this to stay on track! At this point in I have time to do it. In part because between the hour...

Re: Buy Books or Use Library??

Speaking from personal experience I would say if your husband says 'buy them' to do so.
I have tried to 'make do' by borrowing from the library and it rarely ever worked.
Besides, my children LOVE to look at the books again! and again, and again ...

Re: Should I wait on Bigger until my 8-yr-old can read?

Thank you Ladies! I really appreciate y'all's input. I had thought of doing the reading for him, but didn't know if that would put him at a disadvantage to learn what he needed for himself. I am really looking forward to our starting Bigger in the fall. During the summer we will work on Reading/Gram...

Should I wait on Bigger until my 8-yr-old can read?

We did Beyond this past year and he loved it for History/Science/Art. Also the read alouds! He is right on track with LA/Grammar despite not being able to read the work. However he can only read very simple words and struggles a lot. I just didn't know if we should hold off on Bigger or maybe just t...
