Awww How sweet! I haven't done LHFHG yet (we started with Beyond and Little Hands), but I remember loving Thornton Burgess when I was little.

Thanks for sharing about your first day!

We tend to start early too...summer vacation is not all it's cracked up to be

I'm in Maine, and mine arrived over a week ago. Wouldn't hurt to request another one!

Awww, how sweet! It sounds like you guys had a great day!

We love LHTH too! It is a fun day.

I haven't used LHFHG yet (we're doing LHTH and Beyond this year), but I'm looking forward to that too!

Thanks for sharing about your day with us

Congratulations!!! How wonderful!

Thanks for sharing with us!

The 'a' is the same in apple and alligator. :lol: As one of the previous posters mentioned, the 'helps' do go away during the program. Certain things (including hard and soft phonograms) can be very tricky for kids, so a little visual reminder to help them along until they're more comfortable with t...

My biggest fear with homeschooling was the "reading" aspect and I am beyond THRILLED that my dc are not only reading but ENJOYING it :) This! :wink: My niece and nephew were homeschooled K-12 with a boxed curriculum, and it really killed their love of reading. I just felt that was so sad! I love re...

...how much I love The Reading Lesson? Thank you, Carrie, for working so hard to choose these great resources for us! My son (4) is in the middle of Lesson 2 and he is already easily sounding out CVC words! :shock: I am blown away. He was close to reading anyway when I started, but the speed with wh...

Yay!

Have fun on box day!

Welcome to the board! The ladies here are great and have already given some great advice. I'm sort of a newbie here myself :wink: I have a question about your daughter: is she newly 4 or almost 5? My oldest is just like your dd :D She is very advanced. Started reading at 3.5, did kindergarten at 4, ...

Sara, Thank you for telling me how it works in your house! At this point and time my guys seem to do better if they just keep going. If they stop to take a break, I don't ever seem to get there mind back even though their bodies are ther. :wink: Does that come with time? :lol: I was just wondering ...

Mine are young as well, and they really can't work independently right now. But it's also too much for them to simply work straight through their schoolwork for the day start to finish. So, this is what we do: Beyond kid does math & LA, then takes a break. LHTH kid does math (he wanted more so we've...

Hello, ladies :D I'm here to ask a question about a specific title...one which I'm not sure whether HOD uses or not. I recently came across at Goodwill (did I mention I love Goodwill for books? :D ) a great book called '...If You Sailed On The Mayflower in 1620', by Ann McGovern. It is in the same s...

I'm about 8 years away from doing it and I still want to see it!

God willing, we will be homeschooling through high school. Personally (just my opinion), I don't feel that a public high school experience has anything to offer my children. And certainly nothing Godly :wink: . Those 'high school experiences' that your husband speaks of are damaging. Sports are not ...
