We had a co-op in the fall which was once a week for 7 weeks. It was not a problem because we were basically doing Bigger half-speed or three days a week at the most. I was doing it more for being with other kids dd's age. You can always do HOD 4 days a week. It would just take you into the next ye...

Thanks!

If I may piggyback with a question, when are paragraphs taught in R&S?

Thanks!

Hi Laurie,

I'm wondering if the guides going to 4 days a week starting in Preparing will help any? You will have an extra day each week and at some point might be able to use that to keep making forward progress in the guides and work toward "catching up"? Just a thought..

Lynn,

Thanks for sharing! I can see your son's eye for detail. This must thrill you to no end!

Kathy

Me, too!

We are in Unit 12 of Beyond with my second grade dd and Unit 18 of LHTH with my pre-K dd. They love the hands-on activities.

Thanks, everyone! Your replies have reassured me that I can probably eliminate the class section and just scan it for extra info. if I have the time or inclination. It sounds like you have been able to successfully teach the concepts without using that section. I appreciate your help!

Hi, I have been looking over the Rod and Staff teacher manual and need some help understanding the order of teaching it. It is not clear to me if you are supposed to do the teaching in the "Class" section first and then read the student book together, or vice versa. A lot of times it is the same inf...

As we look at other companies who have gone before us, we desire to take a different path from what is already offered. While I hesitate to mention much in the way of comparison to other companies, since the Sonlight teacher's notes where mentioned earlier in the thread as one ideal, I will share t...

Thanks for asking for input, Carrie. It might be helpful to separate into two different lists what the needs for the student will be and what the needs for the parents will be. I, for one, want to have teacher helps in high school. I would like book-specific information and guidance as to what our s...

Hugs, I am just on the cusp of 8 with my older dd, and I have heard that 8 and 9 can be very challenging with girls. It really does sound like there is a problem with obedience and respect here, and personally I would nip that immediately with swift consequences, like netpea said. When my dd shows a...

We just got the Jesus Calling devotional for kids. It looks wonderful! I love the Jesus Calling one I have for adults!

Hugs! I haven't done Bigger, so I can't offer encouragement there. It sounds like anything involving writing or art is taking longer. I wonder if it is just a matter of time for your son's writing speed to be able to increase? One suggestion I have regarding art is to push it to the end of the day. ...
