Our year has been great, with a few minor set-backs. I originally started my 6 yr old first grader in LHFHG thinking that I could beef it up and bring my 4 yr old son in on some of our activities. Several weeks in, my four year old was not interested (VERY active boy) and my six year old was really ...

You don't need a handwriting program with Beyond. Beyond utilizes the copy work method. The children copy lovely portions of a poem for the week. In the process my son not only copies the handwriting, but also punctuation, capitalization etc. He generally memorizes the poem (if not all of it, some o...

Daisy you're so funny!

Today he picked up "Owl At Home" and read the first three stories. I told him to wait, but he REALLY wanted to read it. I am thrilled that...

Congratulations! I pray all will go well with your pregnancy. I have a friend who has the exact same issue. We are also expecting our fourth in July, I am 24 weeks right now! Anyway! Congrats to you! Welcome new little one!

Welcome! You will be using the same two programs we are using this year! It has been a great year, you're going to love it!! Enjoy your box day!

Lee Ann, I am so glad you asked this today! I was wondering the very same thing. We are in the same spot, only my son is about halfway through his Beginner's Bible. After reading your post and Carrie's response I just decided to start with the Emerging Reader's Schedule for the Bible in the spot whe...
