We use MUS AND ABeka math... because my son needs lots of review. We do the MUS for 34 weeks of the year and the ABeka the rest of the year.
It hasn't mattered at all that we are not doing Singapore. Although I have seen an occasional math activity that looked fun.

Thank you so much, Carrie, for your thoughful response! I couldn't wait to check my computer this morning to see if you had had a chance to answer! :) So thank you! ♥ I think what I have to do here is pray for God to make one clear and to use our convention later this month to handle each book.

This year -
Beyond for my second grade son


Next year -
LHFHG for first grade son
Bigger for my third grade son

I, too, am wrestling with this. On one hand the art of streamlining things makes me lean toward doing ONE Bible. And even ONE Storytime. BUT - I don't want to miss the chance for application for the child whose Bible we ARE NOT doing. And truth be told, I think I will do both Storytimes with both bo...

I have to share this. I totally pegged my son as an emerging reader... and boy was I wrong! I totally should have done DITHOR this year. He is finishing Beyond, he will be 8 in August. I'd take the time to get a few of the books and see where she is with them. I feel a bit like I "wasted" his year. ...

In the "Book Store," I see First Language Lessons by Jessie Wise Brown, but after looking at the Introductions for LHFHG and Beyond, I don't see it listed. I am wondering where/when it is used. Am I just missing it. :S [Entirely possible!!!] My question, Carrie, is since I see it there, I am jumping...

We finished week 24 in Beyond this week. InHisTiming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D First - you are preparing for next weeks SATS? OY! I haven't done a thing from my son's POV to prepare and it is TUESDAY! Thank YOU for the reminder that I (1) need to do that and (2) need to send out an EMAIL! :P AND - ...

I would love for this to be followed up!
As a part of a very similar co-op [weeks wise] I am always praying about new ideas!

w2w!

What a testimony.
Thank you for sharing that!
Great Momming. Listening to the LORD above men will bless your children. \o/ Praise the LORD!

It is hard to add anything after what Mama Mary articulated. But I just want to expound on what crlacey said. Your 4 year old is probably not used to the idea of mom/school, etc. Both of my boys can do like you say in Sunday School, or at CBS or co-op, but for Mom... THEY STILL BALK. And what kills ...

Carrie, or anyone, I guess... Can you recommend any book to help me sort out what my children "are?" I guess as long as I use HOD it doesn't matter, since they are all represented. But I have found a few clues about my boys, thus far, and I'd love to enrich it more. Actually - The Five Love Language...

that sounds great! I feel a bit guilty for not doing any preschool with my kids

my son is allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, soy flour, soy protein, peas, beans, sesame. Honestly, if we get an activity that calls for peanut butter, I just don't do it. :P There are actually a number of activities we have not done if he already has gotten the point [we are in Beyond]. While the acti...

I can totally relate.

I won't add anything to what has already been said. I just want you to know you are NOT alone.

you most certainly have not. Rather you sound like most homeschool moms I know. We are all finding our way. We are on the path God set us on, but none of our paths look the same. I think most of us just want to share that homeschooling patterns aren't black and white. I have found when I get lots of...
