Re: Can I give more credits than assigned?

8 hours 4 days, 4 hours on the 5th. My DD is a ferocious reader. I'm hoping it'll be ok. LL could go if neccesary. We don't need Logic, but, we do need 8 credits, so I'd have to replace it with something. The only typical 9th grade thing I'm skipping is career planning. I have it scheduled in 11th t...

Can I give more credits than assigned?

We only need 110 hours for a credit here. I'm to have 8 grade 9 credits. I intend to swap the half credit Spanish for a full credit French. Grade 9 French is mandatory. I am adding Canadian geography, another mandatory credit, to make 8 credits in total. However, that ups our day to 8 hours. My DD i...

Re: The Meaning Behind the Name

Carrie and her family live in South Dakota. I assume it comes from that.

Re: Stressing over DITHOR book packs

Maybe I should do a hybrid? Let her pic her favourites from 3 before moving into 4/5, -so she can get some easier books to work with as she begins DITHOR? I still can't believe she's reading so well. It makes me tear up. It's been a long, hard road. For both of us, lol. But she's doing it!

Re: Stressing over DITHOR book packs

I'm hesitant to move my DD too quickly. She only started ER early this year. We read through most of pack 2 as we quickly went through ER and skipped the bible. I own 3, 4/5 and 5/6 as well. I was going to have her do 3 this year as I'm nervous of pushing her too fast. She's made a lot of progress t...

Re: Stressing over DITHOR book packs

There's still the 5/6 pack. I own everything up through 5/6, so no new expense:) I like the idea of reading daily and only doing DITHOR when it says. I think you'd end up with too many books per genre and no build up making answering questions hard. Hmmm, idk...what to do...

Stressing over DITHOR book packs

If my DD starts book pack 4/5 in CTC, she'll only finish pack 5/6 by the end of MTMM. Will that prepare her well enough for the highschool guides?

Dictation notebooks

What do you do so the student doesn't see the incorrect passage they did the day before while writing it again that day?

Re: Setting up WG advice please

Thanks!

Is grammar, composition and literature what the 3 books were for? Or was one dictation?

Setting up WG advice please

I'm just getting ready to set up. What sections would I need in an English binder? Grammar, composition...anything else? Where do written narrations go? Where does all the map work go? Is anything added to the expedition journal or book of centuries that would require them to need as large of a bind...

Commonplace book AND prayer journal?

Is their common place book also the prayer journal? Or do they need both? And they'd both carry them throughout the years?

Re: Book of Centuries.....

The only thing I can think of is if you aren't trimming your pictures down enough? Too much white space around them?

Re: Art/ Science Experiments ets.

Last year, I found myself skipping Storytime. I was so busy and it was just a story. I thought I'd leave it to the end of the day when we were all done. But we'd never get to it. If a major subjetc was undone, I'd push for that. But, stories I let slide. I started to see how much we were missing. DD...

Re: current sonlighters considering HOD - placement question

I think you're oldest would do best in Preparing as you said she likes writing, but not too much of it. Add DITHOR with which ever book pack she fits in best and probably the 2/3 student book. I think I'd combine your next 2 in LHFHG, adding whichever phonics program you choose for your daughter and...
