Re: GRAD!

Oh my goodness! How exciting! What a wonderful moment it is when you finish the homeschool journey with a child you have been working alongside for years. Our favorite year of HOD is always the final one, as it is amazing to see how far the kiddos have come on their homeschool journey. :D Way to go!...

Re: CTC after PHFHG?

Oh ladies! :D Your posts about CTC warmed my heart! We loved CTC here too. I even had my oldest son do much of the history in CTC with extensions as an 8th grader (as I was planning and writing CTC), because I felt he had previously missed out on the wonderful, in-depth biblical content in the guide...

Re: Placement? What to do if misplaced in Bigger?

Hello, We are glad to have you here! :D It sounds like you are off to a good start with your kiddos and are enjoying school. It can take some fine-tuning when first placing your kiddos in HOD. In thinking about your options, the jump from Bigger Hearts to CTC is really large skill-wise and independe...

Re: New!

Beth, Welcome! We are glad to have you here! :D Rice gave some great comments and helpful suggestions for you to ponder. I agree that at HOD when combining kiddos, we start with the younger child's placement first and then add extensions to that program for the older child. In this way, we aren't pu...

Re: Doing 2 Guides while keeping “Family Subjects Time”

When the kids were younger I often read one of the read-alouds from Beyond, Bigger, or the Boy or Girl Books from CTC aloud at lunch. When I didn’t have time to do that, we switched to listening to an audio of one of the read-alouds at lunch, listening to a chapter a day. :D When we had kids in Bigg...

Stephanie,

This is a great question! :D I will look into it. We are in the process of redoing our website and getting ever closer to the new site being launched. I will check to be sure that the table of contents are included for each of the guides on the new site.
