I am also doing Bigger w/extensions for a 10-yr old. Because it is taking us awhile to get into hs rhythm I am waiting for DITHOR for a few weeks or months. I have ordered it but have not received it yet. I believe the emerging readers is for lower levels like LHFHG and BLHFHG. You can begin DITHOR ...

One thought I've had while reading this is that my boys love our local museum. We have one about 20 minutes away that has a planetarium and various visiting exhibits. On Saturdays they have outdoor stuff and reenactments of pioneer history. Or you guys could visit a petting zoo or regular zoo and th...

I do need to clarify about the 4A/4B schedule in Preparing. There are no hands-on activities like for the lower levels of guides. I looked in the Bigger guide and it only has hands-on activities for the 2A/2B math. After that the child goes over the textbook with mom/dad and does the workbook alone....

We have thoroughly enjoyed our 1st week :D Ethan loves Bigger... and keeps trying to do his work all day long so he can "get ahead" for tomorrow :D He enjoys the history and the art/science stuff we have done so far. I am not too techy savvy so I don't know if I can post pictures or not but I will t...

I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep your entire family in my prayers.

i have the textbooks for 1A/1B and 4A/4B and they don't have any fun stuff like what Carrie plans. I bought the beyond manual and the preparing manual to use for the math lessons (and other things too!) because i'm not crafty and i need the directions that Carrie provides. I even bought the home ins...

Thanks, Katleen I do have another question or two ... :wink: so with all that I listed that I buy THEN do I buy Drawn into the Heart of Reading too? With the deluxe & extension pk? That is a lot of reading isn't it? I guess through the course of a school year. thanks for any help :) I thought it wa...

we have just started Bigger with my 10yr old doing the extensions. he placed squarely into primary math 4a so i bought the preparing manual to guide us in the lessons for that level. he is just starting out with it (yesterday was our 1st day) but it began with writing in expanded form. the preparing...

My kids have thoroughly enjoyed their 1st day of hsing :D We got off to a rocky start with the 6yr old but after he decided he was going to join us he really had fun. Both boys loved the rhymes in motion for LHFHG and we took pictures of all of us doing our continent/animal motions :D We started at ...

Hi I'm totally new to hsing but I just love everything I've read and seen about HOD My children are getting excited about it too which warms my heart and reinforces that I made the right choice for us. I'm using Bigger with extensions for a 10 yr old so maybe we can compare. Welcome

okay, so i just use the dictation in bigger... and if it is too easy then use the preparing dictation. he placed squarely in the 4a in singapore-he made like 92 on the 3b test so i will try him in 4a first. i am hoping the DITHOR will help him with the reading comprehension, i just wasn't sure if i ...

That is beautiful and is bringing tears to my eyes. I am hoping our hsing experience will be as good, this is our 1st year. I looked at many curriculums but for me when I found the HOD catalog, it was over :lol: I am so grateful to all you ladies on this board, your experiences are so inspiring and ...

My questions deal with using Bigger with extensions for a 10 yr old. I have placed him in Singapore math 4a but I read somewhere that you should start 1 level prior to that to help them adjust? Is that right or do I just start him at 4a? He has always excelled in math and would be entering 5th grade...

Praying for you to find your manual and to not stress about it.

I am using LHFHG with a 6 yr old and BHFHG with my 10 yr old. He placed some in Preparing... but his reading comprehension is not so good so I thought I would start him at Bigger with extensions and DITHOR. Plus he has told me several times that he wants to study the Presidents and I told him that h...
