So, I am in that challenging stage of trying to get my kiddos trained in their HOD guides and calming the chaos of the homeschool with four kiddos. My 5 year old son is so energetic and demanding and busy and intense and noisy and ..... wow. I don't remember my other boys being quite this intense. M...

Pretty cool update ladies!

I don't live on that side of the U.S.A. but I am excited for those of you who get to visit a HOD booth this year.

I stumbled across this thread right here viewtopic.php?f=14&t=15323&p=107990&hil ... ok#p107990 and it contains Julie's pictures and descriptors of getting ready for RTR.

I can't find one but think I've seen one. Our HOD order with most of the RTR stuff arrives Tuesday and I'm doing all prep possible so we can begin right away.

Congratulations! What well deserved awards. HOD is the best!!

Thanks Stephanie. The link provided just the info. I need.

Ladies, I am prepping Little Hearts for my youngest. :) My LH guide is pristine and contains copyright dates of 2004, 2007 and 2011. The math texts referenced in my guide are the Earlybird 2A and 2B so I must have purchased my guide before the math change. Is there a PDF containing the correct page ...

Julie, You made me cry! :D Thanks for praying for me and cheering for me. That was an unexpected blessing and timely. That kind of encouragement is a ministry and I appreciate you taking the time to serve The Lord and your sisters in that way. This board is my favorite hang out. 8) Linda, So, I am p...

:) Linda, We had our first day back to school today (just 3 R's and chores) and it was a slow start. Only my youngest is using HOD with LHTH. He loves it and we just keep going. I have been on the fence about the others. We are using HOD recs for English and spelling and if we dive into HOD I will l...

This will be my first year attempting to use 6 guides. *faint* Wow Linda! I have almost killed it trying to get four kids into three guides :mrgreen: May The Lord continue to bless you as you strive to be faithful! I am always so very encouraged when I read your blog. You just keep pressing on and ...

Hi Carrie, He is doing well with writing! :D God has given him such a natural ability with the written word. He has done well with the writing assignments in Rod & Staff English (he has studied to the halfway point in English 5). When he is free to be creative the ideas and thoughts flow but he does...

I want to insure my placement assessment in the written narration department. My DS(nearly)12 seems to place well in RTR but I don't know if he can write a narration. We have done very little of that over the years. Do you have a suggestion for testing his ability? If he's ROUGH on written narration...

My oldest will use RTR regardless of what the younger crew does. He places strongly there and has never combined well with his younger sibling. He is a rising 6th grader and he fits RTR's placement requirements. His biggest struggle will be time management. ***** Here is the part of the scenario in ...

My oldest dd was like this for a long time. The curriculum I used prior to relaxing was all workbookish. She hated school. I also think I was pushing her a bit hard. But she is a day dreamer and time waster. This is the first year we have finally had a good year. I think there were a lot of factors...

Carrie-you are amazing that you take the time to help others in this way-ON TOP of writing our curriculum for us! I am so grateful for you. :) HUGE and HEARTY agreement!!!! Carrie, you are faithful and deeply appreciated. Galatians 6:9 Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will re...
