Thank you for your response. You said, "Been there done that" with your 8 and 10. What did you mean? You placed them in too old of a book and they both struggled keeping on pace with one another? What book did you use for 8/10? I placed trying to combine my kids, and one was needing tweaking and wa...

Here's our schedule for 3yo LHTH slowly with other 3yo activities 6.5yo BLHFHG 1/2 speed 9yo PHFHG 1/2 speed 11yo Rev2Rev I only have certain times for starting school and naptime. Others are just the routine for our day. We do make a point that if we are "behind", we stop where ever we are to do lu...

Social studies would include history, which LHFHG covers. Other aspects of SS and health you cover better in day yo day...commumity helpers (fire, police, etc), helping others, eating healthy, brushing teeth, personal hygiene, etc. No curriculum needed. Many public school kids dont get those lessons...

Can you tell me why you chose Hey Andrew!? Im debating it, Song School Greek, and Elementary Greek. Since i always love your choices and yiu have excellent reasons for those choices, id really like to know!!

Foriegn language electives still planned to be in hs guides, correct?

Carrie's sons are learning Greek. It will help them read the new testament in its original language, help them understand the deeper meanings when comparing the greek and english translations, and improve english vocabularly :) we have started greek and have dabbled with latin as well. It is great f...

Just agreeing with LynnH. Ive used HOD since 2008, including all the guides from Preparing and down. I suggest placing the younger and adding the already planned extemsions for the older. If there is any struggle or adjustments needed made theough PHFHG for the younger, you will he forever tweaking ...

I get them just fine and love them. My oldest is in her last year of primary series and though she struggles with math, she gets the models wonderfully. Theyre what make math click for her. My 9yo DS however, is naturally mathy. Great with mental math, quick with word peoblems, but he cant grasp the...

I am so thrilled with all your sneak peeks so far, Carrie, and this one is just incredible!! I am so happy that my children will spend their first high school year engaged and immersed in stories of redemption! They'll see others, like themselves and those around them they love, all fall short just ...

Another post very similar to yours...maybe you and the mom posting this one could share ideas and things that help! viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13161

If she is just struggling in certain areas, you could use something topical, like Math Mammoth topic books, for just the topics she needs. Then retest her for singapore in a higher level. Singapore doesn't expect them to have those things mastered in 1A/B, so you might find testing her at a higher l...

My kids have "drilled" using online things like TimezAttack...it now has all four operations and is free! Shepardsoftware.com is also good for online facts practice. We have never done flashcards at all...blech! :wink: My daughter just doesn't have her facts down and likely never will...she has some...

I saw Carrie mention before that a foreign language option will be offered in the high school guides. Not sure which ones though! I have seen her suggest Getting Started in Spanish...and he also has a Latin program. She uses Hey Andrew! Teach Me Some Greek with her own boys (I think it's actually he...

You should be able to get going right away! I remember using lots of cheerios, snacks, crackers, colored paper, and at first, I think you'll need some ziplocs and liquid dish soap for the number writing. There are no special manipulatives that you have to buy. It'll all be in your panty or house som...

My oldest is soon to finish up primary and will go right into pre algebra from there. It is solid amd will prepare them extremely well without a single addition at all. We dont even have facts down but she can manipulate numbers and calculate mentally very well. My next kids are in Essentials Kindy ...

Im am in hysterics. The situation isnt funny but your words have me rollin'!! :D "went hitler on them" and "night owl hiney" were particilarly amusing. I have an 11yo girl and boys ages 3,6,9 that habe been in one room. Routine is....uh....insanity until eveeyone is finally out. I have only sympathi...
