Re: New User Intro

Thanks for all the input. :) I am definitely considering the suggestions for my little two. In fact, I would say I already own at least half of the books for Beyond already. I don’t think I want to keep them together at this point. But as for my big two, I have been looking at the first page again. ...

Re: Preparing Storytime

I do the lunchtime story a lot as well. And another thing I do is to incorporate audio books when possible. I've found so many classics available at our library. The nice thing is that some of them, the better produced ones, include music and sound effects that can really bring the stories alive. I'...

Re: We have a new teacher in our home..

I remember when my third DD was about two and a half, we were at the library. They have a container of foam letters, and she was pulling them out one at a time and saying the names and some of the sounds. I wasn't really paying attention, but a man standing near us made a comment about it. I knew sh...

Re: How do a page and a book go missing??

Well, it's looking like the creativity and giftedness gene is also the disorganization gene! :D My two eldest struggle with this as well. In fact, my eldest, at two different times this year, brought books we owned to the library with our returns. However, she does manage to keep her room (but don't...

Re: New User Intro

Now, what about your younger children. I missed where you are placing the older of the younger 2. Goodness, I realized I added it to my signature but forgot to actually type it in my post. I am thinking to put her in Bigger, but at half pace for a while. I mentioned that she has read most of the em...

Re: New User Intro

I'm looking at your oldest 2 and it sounds as if they both place in RTR. Is that correct? But for practical reasons you want them in separate guides. And so, you are looking to put your oldest in Rev to Rev.... Could you elaborate a bit more about their placement? What are the reasons the oldest do...

New User Intro

Hello everyone, I thought I'd introduce myself as I am new to HOD, but not new to homeschooling. I have homeschooled my crew of four girls since my eldest was in preschool nine years ago. I have a seventh grader, fifth grader, first grader and preschooler. I am coming to HOD from another curriculum,...

Re: Civil War Question

Don't forget that the Civil War, though it is presented as a war over slavery, was also (and to some more importantly) about States' Rights. That is an issue that has been very much erased by many, if not most, history books. And frankly, it is an issue that is becoming much more important in Americ...
