Re: Weekly Review September 17-21

Joyful homeschooler, your new baby is adorable! I hope you enjoy your first year with HOD. We used MFW for 1st then switched to HOD because MFW just didn't quite fit our needs. I am so glad we switched this is our 2nd full year with HOD and we are loving it still :D I agree, Joyful, your baby is so...

Re: How to approach a 4 day week with 5 days of lessons??

We keep a 4 day a week schedule since we have co-op on day 5. We literally just do 4 days of Beyond a week. So it'll take us some extra time come "end of the year" but I didn't want to get crazy. I am running 3 guides, so we're just taking each day one day at a time. :)

Re: HOD has blessed our homeschool!

Stacy - I share your same sentiments! We came to HOD this year after using a different curriculum for 4 years and we couldn't be more pleased. I am constantly giving thanks for Carrie's willingness to create this curriculum. :)

How fun! Isn't it a great encouragement to "keep on a keepin' on" when you see your children flourish and have fun with "school" like that!

Re: History in Bigger is draaaaging...

Oh my, our boys had the exact opposite reaction - they LOVED the Eggleston books used for history in Bigger Hearts! In fact, they were arguing about who would get to have the "red books" when Riley was done with BHFHG. This was our experience too. We all have favorites and books we don't care for. ...

How many are in the middle of your year?

We have always done a Sep'ish to May-ish schedule, but this year, we abandoned our former curriculum in March and are on unit 4 with HOD now. Anybody else in the middle of it right now? We plan to just go a few days a week through the summer.

I don't want to feel alone :lol:

Re: Should I Wait or Start?

I would seriously just go ahead. Your little one can catch up with it when they want. My youngest is doing the workbooks as she wants. She will sit and do a ton of pages in them and then not again for a few days. I don't plan to actually start being consistent with Little Hearts until this fall. If ...

Re: Beyond vs Bigger

We just started a couple weeks ago with HOD. We left another curriculum after 4 years with it because the dream of combining just didn't work well for us. I have found so much enjoyment in doing separate guides with the girls. It gives such sweet time together and allows them to play with one while ...

Really really in love with HOD

We are only in Unit 2 so far of Beyond & Bigger and Unit 1 still of Little Hearts, but it is fabulous! All I could have ever asked for! We struggled through a few years with another curriculum that just never worked well for us. I wish I had come to HOD sooner! My girls are loving it, especially the...

Re: Classic or Girls Reader Sets?

Mrsrandolph ~ I was thinking of the Beyond guide when I posted but we will also be doing either Bigger or Preparing, haven't decided yet. :lol: I went ahead and ordered girl sets for them though. :D
