Okay, so some funds have freed up and I now want to do history and science with HOD for my younger child more on his level. I just can't decide which! Okay, we plan to use LLATL Red to finish phonics (we are almost finished with Blue now) as well as finish the Explode the Code series. We are finishi...

Need advice...

Re: Our week with Bigger~ Unit 11

We have not started bigger just yet (and won't until closer to July), but I love the edible bird nests...and we are already planning to raise some chickens this summer...so that will fit in nicely. :) YAY!

Re: Waiting until fall???

Ummm...YEAH! LOL We don't go by what PS does. I don't take snow days just because they do. I don't take vacations when they do. So, why would my kids get "out" when they do? My kids have a full summer, but we do school in the summers too. It may just be English and Math everyday...or it may be somet...

Re: Just ordered our DITHOR and GHILLM

Love love love love love this program!

Now that I have gotten all of my materials for History and Science with Bigger, I just had to come on and say how impressed I am with the program. WOW! Love all the books, and particularly the way that BHFHG ties the history of the time with the science of the times. I can't wait to start this...and...
