Re: Two Guides at Once/Not Combining Children ?
We started off with HOD 3 years ago using 2 guides b/c my DS placed in Singapore 1B for math (in Beyond), but we were doing Bigger. Same thing happened when he went up to Preparing, but was in Bigger for math for awhile. Now his math (and everything else!) is in CTC and I am teaching it all from one...

Re: 4 Day Week Schedule
That's what we do! I pretty much had to let go of wanting Day 1 to be a Monday, etc. Doesn't bother me or my kids at all now!!! It actually makes it more interesting b/c each day of the week we do something different! HTH!

Re: First day of CTC...questions
I agree with the others...we started Unit 15 today and the amount of writing definitely steps up by then! Some days definitely require more for my DS and I can tell it challenges him fully...he is an advanced learner and reader, great writer and speller. He LOVED the Apologia Land Animals book...mor...

Re: singapore question
I have had some of the same issues with my second DS. We also did what others have and continued to use the manipulatives as suggested in the guide with the lessons. He has surprised me, though, and some of the concepts that he struggled with in 1A he has done beautifully with when they come up agai...

Re: Testing Question? Still LOVING HOD!
Hi Joy! I'm sure the testing will be just fine! I think the biggest hurdle is just to help your children feel comfortable and not intimidated by the test. I really tried to encourage my DS to just do his best and not transfer my "test anxiety" to him, you know? :wink: He did GREAT on the Iowa last y...

YAY!!!
Just wanted to share that my second DS and I just finished LHFHG today and move on into BLHFHG tomorrow! We have had a BLAST the past year and half...it was a perfect fit for my sweet boy and deepened his walk with Jesus, in addition to increasing his love for learning and growing him academically w...

Re: Bigger - Son having trouble with history...
I am wondering what unit you are on in Bigger? You most definitely could slow it down to half-speed for your DS if you think he will do better with that. I started out my DS (who was the same age as yours at the time) at half-speed in Bigger and then sped it up to full-speed when he was ready. It to...
