It doesn't matter to me so far as our curriculum goes, but for AWANA and co-op and all the strangers who ask, what grade should I say? My oldest was 10 in Feb and I think she's square in 4th grade, but the other two I'm not sure? DD2 was 8 last Nov, would she be 2nd or 3rd? DD3 was 6 last Oct, would...

I haven't noticed any bad words either, other than I think in one of the Burgess books (from little hearts) last week it had the word "stupid". We try not to use that word, especially as a name-calling!!!!

You poor thing! I think you will love HOD!

Thank you. It is tempting!

Thank you for all of the input! I think I'll just leave things as they are.

Can anyone show me a picture of their guide either spiral bound or in a 3 ring binder?

Ooh, that's a great idea! If I used page protectors I could even use a dry erase marker to mark on it.

Thanks!

Fun Julie! Thank you for the tips. I think I need to print them off.

Thank you Patty! GREAT ADVICE.

Did you add any helps for your child to memorize multiplication? I have been letting my girls use a table and hoping the repetitively looking at it will help them memorize. Also, what if it seems like the girls aren't getting the mental mastery? My older two are in 2B and it just seems I couldn't ge...

Well, I may not be doing the right thing, but my 9 year-old does two a day. We are just moving through them. She is doing great with that and it's not too much for her.

I consider her "4th".

My 9 year-old loves reading and I wasn't sure which level DITHOR to go with this year because we are new to HOD and I chose level 2. Some of the books are so short with like 3 or 4 page chapters. It's so hard for her to top with just one chapter. Help me figure out how to handle the activities/workb...
