Introducting myself...

Post by RachelB » Tue Mar 31, 2009 6:48 am

Hi! The Lord led me to HOD back in January when I was researching curriculum for next year. I ordered a catalog and fell in love with the program in one night! Since then I've been reading the message board, praying, telling others all about it, and just getting so excited about next year! We're going to use Bigger with my daughter, and I know we're going to love it! She's almost finished up with first grade, so I just orderd DITHOR to get started on these next couple of months while we work on a few other projects to finish up the year. I can't wait to get it and get going... she loves to read, so I'm so excited about delving into it! I look forward to getting to know you all in the future!

Welcome to HOD!! :D We've just begun Bigger (unit 2 day 1 today!) with my 2nd grader after finishing up Beyond a couple weeks ago. We've also been using DITHOR. It's all such a joy to teach! We're all glad you're here!
