Also, in this post, if you scroll down, you will a schedule Julie had with "Teacher Blocks" and "Independent Blocks" for the upper guides. I don't know if that will be helpful or not:

Hello, I've been contemplating how I might help you. I don't use block schedules myself so I'm not that familiar with them, and I'm not sure how they would work with an HOD day. Julie has sometimes suggested "homework" in the upper guides. This is how they do it in their house: https://www.heartofda...

You’re welcome! Let me know if you think of any other question!

Hello! Before I found HOD, I did Genesis to Deuteronomy from SCM. I love SCM and enjoy many of their products. I think this will be a very easy transition for you as there are many overlaps. Looking at the next three programs in SCM, they would loosely correspond this way: Middle Ages, Reformation, ...

My DD12 has been very ill this last week - including going to the ER for severe dehydration due to hardly eating or drinking for 4 days. After several negative tests (strep, covid, flu, rsv) we are now suspecting mono. She is on Week 31 of RevtoRev. She couldn't do any school last week and now I am ...

Hi Jan, I'm sorry to hear of your struggles. I'm not sure I'm going to be of much help as we are in the early stages of an ADHD diagnosis for my 7 yo son. But I am noticing he has a slower processing speed than his older brother and sister and am anticipating similar struggle in the future so I am c...

I think that he could handle the subject matter of Preparing with no problem. You might consider that there's a difference between being able to handle the content of the guide and being successful with the skills the guide is teaching. He may very well be ready for the subject matter in Preparing,...

Hello! LovingJesus asked some great questions that will probably be helpful for placement. Have you checked the placement chart to see where he fits skills-wise righ.t now? That may give you a fresh perspective. My first though was also Bigger if he places there skill-wise. Or maybe even picking up ...

In the younger years, you will notice we are moving toward more of a living books education. I would just like to add that I think HOD was wonderfully rich in living books even before the new additions. The Visual History Sets are just the "cherry-on-top" of an education chock-full of living books!

We are not to high school yet so we haven't used those yet but I am looking forward to it in a few years!

Little Pilgrim's Big Journey became one of my DS6's new favorite books when it came out with Little Hearts last year. He knows all the characters and loves the story so much I had to buy the rest of the series! With the new Pilgrim's Progress in Preparing Hearts this year, I just wanted to share how...

Carrie, thank you for such a beautiful and thoughtful explanation for the new updates! I always appreciate knowing the "why" behind a curriculum's choices. I have a son going in to Preparing and a daughter going into MTMM next year, so I am excited they get to experience the new materials. My daught...

My 7 yo son was just diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia (although apparently it's not called dyslexia anymore but Specialized Reading Impairment) :shock: He will be doing Beyond in the fall. I did a search hear for ADHD and Dyslexia and read all of those posts, but I was just wondering if anyone had a...

Thank you!

I’ve been checking too and would love to see them on the website before the sale!
