Thank you, Carrie. That was very helpful. I am more "traditional" too, and am a scheduler. I can maybe take a day or two off, but not too much more, cause I feel completely behind. :roll: After reading your post, I think I am going to stick to a regular school schedule. I don't think I would be moti...

We don't have to count hours in California, just keep a log of attendence. So, i am wondering then when I file, would I write- (if I was going to start Oct. 1st) that we will end Sept. 31st of 2009? Then, that would give me a whole year to play with? I probably sound dumb, but it's all new to me. :l...

Oh no, Melanie. I would love to hear from anyone. :D I am just trying to figure out what would be best for our family, and would love to hear from all of you and what you are doing. That will help me figure it out. :D I am sorry if I wasn't very clear. :oops: Thanks for posting!! That makes a lot of...

Carrie, I don't want to put you on the spot, but I value your opinion. What do with your family? What do you recommend?

Okay, I am new at this to some extent. I was homeschooled growing up, but now it's my turn to homeschool my kids, and things are a lot different than when my mom taught me. :D So, my question is... Does everyone on here school year round? I am just wondering I guess, what your reasons are behind thi...

I was just wondering if anyone can tell me if there is notebooking in LHFHG. I am going to have to order by books soon. It's driving me crazy that I can't look at them to see for myself!! :roll: :lol: I want to try and get some things that I need. There was someone who was telling about Miller paper...

Hi! I am also wanting to try and do 4 days a week this fall. It will be my first year with LHFHG, so I will be happy to see the responses to your question. :D I just kind of guessing how to do it, but I am wondering if you couldn't just double up each day on a particular box. So, for say history, on...

Thank you, ladies! It will be fun getting to know all of you more!!

Hi Krissy! Welcome!! I am just going to be starting myself this year too. I have a 5, 4 and 2 1/2 year old right now. We will be starting in the fall with LHFHG with my two older kids and LHTH with my younger one. So, I don't have any experience yet,:D but I will give you an idea that you may want t...

Hi Melanie!

I am not sure I know where they live, but I live in the valley of CA. It would be great to know of someone close by that uses HOD!!

Hi Ladies! I have been on here asking a million questions, and thought I should really introduce myself. :D This fall will be my first year of homeschooling.... very exciting! :D I have been married to my husband for 7 years this summer and we have three children... 5, 4 and 2 1/2. While I am a stay...

Oh yeah, that helps me a lot! Thanks!

Great! Thanks! I was wondering, because I read somewhere else where it was a "worktext", so I wasn't sure.

I know they would follow with the emerging readers from HOD, but I really was hoping to save those for the following school year. I am just looking for, I guess, extra readers to be used the summer before I would normally start with the emerging reader set. Does that make sense.

I am trying to think a little ahead and am wondering if anyone knows of some good first readers to use after we finish The Reading Lesson. I am thinking that during the summer it would be good to have the kids still reading.
