Re: Question about Art & Music
All the guides include history activities which can be used for art, but it is not until CTC that extra art is added (Watercolor is used along w/poetry and in RTR "Looking at Pictures"). Music is usually in the form of scripture memorization (except for Bigger which has hymns) and a book on Music Hi...

Re: What to do for 7th, 5th, & 2nd graders
Hi April, Welcome to HOD! As the previous poster mentioned I would definitely check out the placement chart to see where your children fit. I will have a 7th, 5th, (3rd) & 2nd grader next year too. It is easy to do more than one program, I did 3 this year and 2 my first year. I would start off (if p...

Re: Mapping...
Since First Book of American History is Public Domain, I found it on the Baldwin Project Website ( http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?author=eggleston&book=first&story=_contents_ ). I copied and pasted the map to my paint program and erased the labels. (I tried making the color match as much as p...

Re: Anyone else annoyed at the use of this type of language?
I feel this way also about Euphemisms, especially the ones refering to Deity. I just skipped over "Gosh" when I read aloud Key to the Treasure , we loved the book otherwise. Didn't know about cripes though, but since I didn't like the movie about Dexperaux, I had no interest in reading the book. Goo...

Re: To buy books of not?
I think deciding using the library vs. purchases depends on a few things. 1) Your Budget 2)How good/organized using the library (sounds like you are) 3) how many children you have (if you are going to be using them over again for other children it's helpful to have the books on hand). and 4) persona...

Re: Loved our first week with HOD
Thanks so much for sharing, I loved hearing about your first (2) weeks! I love having found the perfect curriculum, savor and enjoy! As for narration, you might want to start with them just having to narrate a paragraph, then work up to a page and eventually the entire reading.

Re: Duplicates for CTC
Marsha, Genesis, Finding Our Roots & A Child's Geography are meant to be teacher led, so you would only need one copy unless you are planning on having your children do it on their own. You might want them to each have their own copy of "Draw and Write Through History" if they are going to be using ...

Re: I dont know what to do....
I agree with the PP who states that if Abeka was working for him that you should go back to Abeka. He liked it and was doing well with it.
