Re: Kinda OT - paper piles?

Here's what we do: 1. Each child has their own portfolio binder (2-3" size) for each HOD program. All artwork we save must be able to fit in the binder.

Re: Newbie with placement questions

Momtofour, you could definitely order the K and the 1st grade materials. Our family owns both of the Bibles, the K and 1st grade Science, and the Rod and Staff K books and Thinking Skills Gr. 1 book.
