Re: Week(s) in Review--Summer Schooling!

I haven't posted one in awhile, but I finally updated what we've been up to for the last few weeks with LHFHG and I wanted to start a thread for those of us still chugging along!

Re: HOD Blog Roll

Any HOD users are welcome on the blog roll whether or not they blog specifically about homeschooling! (Just make sure your content is family friendly, which I'm sure isn't a problem. :)

HOD Blog Roll

Just thought I would let everyone know that I made a new HOD blog roll for the upcoming school year! I noticed that the other one was dated for 2011 and after contacting the blogger who started that one to see if she wanted to renew it for the new year, she told me that she will no longer be using H...

Re: U.S edition for Singapore K?

OK, don't laugh, but as soon as I knew I was pregnant with my now 2yo, I ordered a set of Earlybird books for her so I wouldn't have to deal with it.... :lol: I'm totally not laughing! I SHOULD have done that, but now it's too late! I can't order the books because I already have a guide (that I bou...

Re: Would you ever repeat a guide?

The only guide I'd ever repeat would be LHTH (and I have repeated it once with my oldest DD). I will eventually be running 3 guides and it seems very daunting, but I've tried every which way to figure out how to combine some of my children and it just won't work without holding someone back/dragging...

Re: U.S edition for Singapore K?

Hmm. So what happens if I order a LHFHG guide now- with the earlybird math books, and then in a few years I am ready to use the guide again with my daughter (who is now 2). ?? The same text won't be available then? I guess there would be an appendix solution... but that would kinda cut out the cute...

Re: LHTH repeat?

My now 6yo DD did LHTH twice in a row. The second time around, we used the older bible and devotional and I did all of the "older options" on the activities. I also added in phonics and a few other supplementary workbooks and such. She loved it. My 4yo DS has gone through it once. He's doing somethi...

Re: How many are in the middle of your year?

We school year round and every once in awhile, take a week or so off from HOD to do other things like unit studies. We started LHFHG at the end of Sept/beginning of October and we just finished Unit 19.

Re: Week in Review-May 14-18 2012

It's been awhile since I've posted here because we took a 4 week break from HOD to do a unit study, but we came back to LHFHG last week and I just got around to blogging about it. :P

Re: Earlybird Kindergarten Questions

The Earlybird books on the Singapore website are NOT the same as the Earlybird books that HOD sells. That is why they don't match up. The ones HOD have are an older version.

Re: Earlybird Kindergarten Questions

Forgive me ladies, but I am thoroughly confused. So are you saying that Carrie is rewriting the math for LHFHG? Every activity on every page? And if so, there will be a new Singapore (or there already is) guide to go along with that new writing? when is all this happening? So I will not be able to ...

Re: Who uses HOD exactly as written?

We are in LHFHG and have completed LHTH in the past. I use different phonics recommendations and add in ETC. I added in Horizons Math K to the Singapore, but only because my DD wanted more math and I didn't want to jump ahead in the guide. We also are doing Little Keepers of the Home from Keepers of...

Re: Earlybird Kindergarten Questions

I was curious, so I went and looked. This is the message: Due to limited quantities of Earlybird Kindergarten Math 2A/2B, until Carrie is able to complete writing our newest guide in August, we are restricting sale of the Earlybird Math Workbooks to those customers who purchase (or have purchased) t...
