If I was going to combine...which ones?

I really loved having the girls in 3 separate guides last year. It worked very well. But this year, I am tired. I am 15 weeks pregnant with #5 and have a 3 year-old who needs someone's attention every waking moment. Oldest dd (10) is doing Preparing. It is perfect for her and going very well. 2nd dd...

Re: Learning styles

I know this idea won't work for the long term - but last year when we started Bigger I would read half at a time, then ask ds to narrate. After that I would read the other half. About a month, or so, he became accustomed to the style of the book, and could pay better attention when I read. If you t...

Learning styles

My first daughter is doing Preparing this year and doing quite well. She's a great listener and can comprehend well and do much of her work independently. My second daughter is doing Bigger this year and continues to have a hard time sitting and listening. She is just like me! :lol: But it is hard f...

Re: help! Last minute second-guessing...

She is half-way through Christian Light Education 1st grade math. She has never really liked the rhymes in Little Hearts, but that's okay. :) I think we will just finish up Little Hearts this year. We actually started school today and I had planned to do that, then she said something about really wa...

help! Last minute second-guessing...

I was all set to finish up Little Hearts with my 6 year-old this year. We have Unit 17-34 left to do. I wanted to take it easy and not have her hit Bigger until 3rd grade...but I'm suddenly second-guessing. I am also newly expecting #5 and am expecting morning sickness to probably be here by next we...

Re: proper placement is so important

So glad you are doing so well! We came to HOD last year after 4 years with another company. I didn't want to overwhelm my girls with all the new stuff and we chose to stay on the oldest age range of the guide too. This year my 10-11 year old will be doing Preparing, 8-9 year-old will be doing Bigger...

I'm sorry. :( I plan to e-mail Carrie, maybe they will be able to provide that information for us.

I noticed the pages didn't seem to line up too when we were reading! lol

Week 28 day 5 - Wright Brothers Question - Bigger Hearts

We went to start the Notebooking project today where it said to turn to page 145 in the book for the dates....but that page in my book doesn't seem to have any dates?

We have Christian Liberty Press copywright 1995.

Can anybody help me figure this one out. :)

Re: If you run several guides at once

I do separate Storytimes, but if I were you, and I had 3 dc in 3 consecutive guides, I don't think I would. :D You are sure about placement, right? I am just asking because it will be busy doing those 3 guides next year. Beyond, Bigger, and PHFHG are the biggest teaching years, with Bigger Hearts b...

If you run several guides at once

Do you do storytime for all of them? Or do you just combine your kids into one set of storytime books?

I have been doing Bigger, Beyond, & Little Hearts this year. Next year I plan to move everybody up to Preparing, Bigger, & Beyond.

Re: If you've used Preparing, please vote!

We will be starting it this fall. My daughter just turned 10 in Feb so she will be 10 turning 11. We switched over to HOD this year after 4 years with MFW and I didn't want to get in over our heads since I felt what we were doing was, IMO, going to be so different than what HOD would be like for the...

Re: what grade should I call the kids? (for AWANA & co-op)

Thanks ladies! That was part of the confusion, here in Michigan the cut-off was early Dec, but now they are changing it to Sept like most other places.
