RTR Extension Time

How long should it take to read the extensions in RTR? I haven't exactly timed it yet but it takes my son much longer than 20 minutes. More like 40 minutes. :shock: I have been stopping him at 20 minutes and having him read the rest after all his other subjects are done. He is really feeling bogged ...

Re: Week In Review Aug.29,2011 to Sept.2,2011

Oh, tollhousemom, I really enjoyed your review. I liked your son's NYC skyline :D . He really did an outstanding job on his cross picture. The picture he did with him and his dad for Science is just too cute! :) His game pieces turned out a lot better than ours did. I'm not sure what happened but ou...

Re: Longer readings in RTR are a struggle

I believe they finish peril and peace in unit 3. My son is 13 and he also seemed to struggle a bit with that one.(great book though) He appears to be enjoying the next books much better. You may just want to try to get him through this book with your idea of reading some to him, or I liked Tansy's s...

Re: I need to find a new place to vent

I'm sorry that happened today. You are doing a wonderful thing by homeschooling and don't forget that. We all have down days but there is no one who will love your child like you do. Stay strong! I have been rather picky about the friend requests that I will accept. Also, I have learned to set some ...

Re: Week 1 PHFHG Questions

Hi Katrina :D , I print out the little frame that I decided to use for my daughter's drawings from Draw & Write and the lined paper that she does the copywork from Draw & Write on. None of that is necessary or called for in the guide. It's just what I like to do. You could just use plain white paper...

Re: Week 1 PHFHG Questions

Thanks Patty :D , I searched for a long time for just the right frame that would dress it up a little but not distract from the drawing too much. I chose not to use the pages that are partly blank and partly lined so that she would have plenty of room to elaborate on her drawings if she wanted to. S...

Re: Scripture Memory - preferred version?

For scripture memory in HOD we use whatever version the CD that comes with the guide uses. I prefer KJV because I think it's prettier but we find the CDs so helpful to aid in scripture memory that we use them. The kids read the scripture and then listen to the song without reading along. (some words...

Re: Week 1 PHFHG Questions

We don't do DITHOR on days that it isn't scheduled in the guide. This means that we don't get through the whole DITHOR guide in a school year, but that's fine. I have pictures of what we do for Draw and write in the weekly review thread at this link. http://www.heartofdakota.com/board3/viewtopic.php...

Re: What type of pen works best on notebook pages?

My son is having problems with the Sharpie pencil on his notebooking pages :-( He's wants to go back to a regular pencil. It has been working fine on regular lined paper, but not the notebook, I guess I will get to put it to use. Same here, krains. We were all happy about them last night but have f...

Re: What type of pen works best on notebook pages?

After reading your earlier post I decided to get these to try. I just tried it tonight, and it is really neat. It is like a pen to use yet it's a pencil and erases easily. I think I'm right there with you on my favorite new school product. :D What a fantastic idea and product! I hope I'll be able t...

Resurrection to Reformation Unit 3 My son finished Peril and Peace this week. (EDIT Whoops! :oops: I misunderstood and thought my son was done with Peril and Peace when actually they just took a detour for a little bit. He is back to it now in Unit 5.) He seemed to enjoy it and is looking forward t...
