Re: An intro, and need help with placement

Welcome to HOD! I just wanted to give you peace that doing several guides is honestly doable! It sounds crazy at first, but because you are meeting your students at their perfect skill level, it takes so much less time and energy than other programs that combine kids of different ages. HOD is an ama...

Re: I don't think I can do two guides at once!

Hello! Welcome to the HOD board! Life does have some tough seasons. It may seem difficult getting everything done, but HOD makes it easy! The first thing to do is to check out the placement chart from the heart of dakota home page (click on the link on the right hand side). Figure out exactly where ...

Re: LA in Beyond as written, and ETC

I am not familiar with ETC, but I can give you some ideas on how to begin the language arts journey. ;-) Copywork: Set the timer for 10 minutes and have them copy the poem each day. Whatever gets done (according to ability) is done. Spelling: This can also be done together. Everyone will take a few ...

Re: OT: 3 YO and discipline

Just wanted to quickly suggest that you could go full speed LHTH and then repeat it later using the other bible/devotional option and maybe add the kinder workbook from LHFHG as well. I think that would be easier than trying to come up with something on your own. Julie posted awhile back about doing...

Re: OT: 3 YO and discipline

This sounds very much like my youngest boy. I have found each child has their own personality and how they handle life. My 4yo (almost 5!) is a "take charge" kind of person. Which means, he is the one who will tickle you back when you tickle him. He always has something witty to say! He does not giv...

Re: 5 yr old attitude towards school

Hello, I just wanted to pop in and say you are not alone. When my daughter began HOD we had an everyday battle for awhile. Mine would just clam-up and not do whatever it was that We were supposed be doing in school. For my independent little girl, it was the fact that *I* was directing her. She woul...

Re: Fun Scheduling Idea!!

I am so glad to see that this might help someone else! I have been around long enough to know, when you find something that works, you should stick with it and share it! Lol ;-) @ witheagerhands - I too tend to redo and change too much, this has helped! @ Starla- Yes, I think it could work for chore...

Fun Scheduling Idea!!

Just wanted to share the little system I set up. Wish I had pictures to share, but will try to give a detailed description. I have a pretty ribbon on the wall (for each student), hung on by a tack on top and bottom. On it hangs a wooden clothes pin for each subject with the name of the subject writt...

Thanking God for LHFHG!

I just wanted to take a moment to share how much Little Hearts For His Glory blessed us! I finished this guide with my middle daughter awhile back and realized I havent written to say how much we loved it! My daughter has a very quiet, independent way about her. When I first began using this curricu...

Re: Happy HODing in 2013!

Hey Julie, You stole my verse for this year!! Lol! The Lord must be working out similar things through us. I also am beginning my writing up again and deciding to be more joyful outwardly...for my families sake. ;) Praying for all of the HOD family that this year is blessed by our Father in heaven! ...
