Re: Suggestions for family devotions

I don't know how old your children are, but a good one for littler ones (even up to 10 or so), would be Leading Little Ones to God. Lots of basic Bible learning and talks about salvation, and principles of godly living. A good place to start with younger ones. :wink: We've used: Leading Little Ones ...

Re: Dd keeps asking if we can start school....

Glad I'm not the only one with excited kids! I've been trying to get everything ready for school to start and I've been shoo-ing everyone out because they keep getting into all my books and goodies! :D My bigger kids keep looking over my shoulder saying "Oooo, is that for me?" ! :wink: It's shaping ...

It's s...

Re: Congrats HOD!!!

This is SO cool! :D Congratulations HOD! :D I've read many of Cathy Duffy's recommendations before and I know a lot of people base their curriculum decisions on what she has to say about them in her 100 top picks. This is so good for HOD and for all the people out there that will find out about it! ...

Re: Handwriting and Beyond?

When I did Beyond, I did it with two children. My daughter was the younger of the two, at age 6. She was a lot like you're describing your daughter to be. I used ARFH book A, and then also had her do the copywork. I expected less from her, than from the older child. I only had her do probably one li...

Re: New User - Curriculum guidance

As an encouragement to you.. . . we, too, came from similar curriculum to HOD! My son began HOD in fifth grade. He placed in CTC, however with it being a whole new style of learning, we ended up backing up to Preparing about three weeks in. It was a perfect fit for him! :D He just soared that year a...

Re: Ideas on presenting information?

I did Beyond with two of my children together a couple years ago. It was such a fun year! Beyond Little Hearts is packed full of fun activities and amazing learning experiences. We even had such wonderful discussions about God's Word and the verses we were learning each week! You're going to have su...

Re: For Carrie or Julie

So for customers that originally purchased the LHFHG set with the Earlybird Math books, and will need to purchase another set of math books for the up and coming child to go through LHFHG next, what should we do? Can we order just the math books now, or do we have to wait? I'll be using this with my...

Re: Extra things made by you to ease your school day

One thing that's helped in our home has been making the kids each a checklist that lists the order of boxes to do throughout their school day. It lists the stuff we do together in the morning and then goes through each box in the order that we've decided to do them. Then, as the kids accomplish each...
