Re: Such a Great First Day of Beyond!

Beyond is wonderful! I have such fond memories of our journal through that guide. It gets me a little teary reminiscing!! :D Me too! Made me a little teary-eyed too! I miss homeschooling my two oldest sons who are now graduated. I am proud of them becoming wonderful, young adult men though! It just...

Re: Such a Great First Day of Beyond!

Congratulations on a fantastic start to homeschooling with Beyond! Thank you for your encouragement for our family here at HOD as well! I am so sorry you are having trouble posting pictures. I tried including one, and it worked, but it was HUGE! I am not very techie though. I am sure there is a way ...

Re: LHFHG Week 34 Rhyme - Zippety Do Da!

I loved this one too! I remember singing We Must Be Ready to the tune of Zip-a-dee-doo-dah and my sons loving the kick right/kick left parts especially! So fun to be working in some movement that encourages left/right large gross motor skills, while also just having a blast singing and reinforcing t...

Re: History in Bigger

I totally agree with Rice! The two are completely different, yet both a joy to do! Bigger Hearts is a necessary transition between Beyond and PHFHG. Skill progression is carefully planned from guide to guide, and your child would be missing some pretty integral teaching. I always think of Bigger Hea...

Re: First Month of School

We started after Labor Day, so we are just a few weeks into our homeschooling. Emmett is 15 yo and starting his 10th grade HOD World History guide. One highlight was just how much I enjoyed our conversation of how we wanted to set up our days homeschooling together. There was just such an easy ebb a...

Re: First Month of School

What a great idea! I never thought to use sorting and math as a way to encourage cleaning up. I have a math-y 6 yo who would probably enjoy cleaning more if he could think of it in terms of math and a 4 yo that I think would benefit greatly from the sorting idea! That is a great idea, isn't it? All...

Re: First Month of School

I have just loved reading about your first month of school, Rebecca! How precious your little one asks to do two days of school (and how wise you keep the enthusiasm going by still only doing one)! :D You are making meaningful memories, and your highlights brought to mind precious moments with each ...

Re: New Products Coming...

This is so exciting, Carrie! I have loved the dialogue we have had through the years, and now I think it is just so exciting to see you putting these ideas into motion! It makes me wish I had little ones to homeschool again. There's always the option of helping homeschool little grandchildren someda...

Re: DD9 wishes she could redo 1st grade and do Beyond!

Aww, preparing also looks wonderful.. I hope they both have a great year! I’m happy with how things turned out for us too and the timing of starting HOD. We just did some simple things for Kindergarten with my oldest with reading, writing & math after 2 months of intense research and it ended up be...

Re: Placement

I'm so glad you are enjoying Bigger Hearts - such inspirational American history! It sounds just right for your nine-year-olds. I enjoyed the 9th through 12th grade high school guide sequence with HOD with our sons. The entire four-year sequence builds upon itself beautifully, and it did a wonderful...

Bethany, I am so happy to hear your combined pairs are having a wonderful year! I love hearing about all the progress they are each making, and you can be very proud of your fourth grader doing so well in CTC. Skipping a guide is not easy. He really has stepped up to the plate, and you have helped h...
