Bumping up....

I would probably do Beyond with both but....everyone is different so, ultimately, it is still your decision.

HTH,
Judy

Hopefully this will help rather than confuse you more...look at Preparing and decide if you will want to do it next year. That may help you to decide.

Good luck!

We use 3x5 for vocabulary and store in a index card box with alpha dividers. Works well to strengthen her alphabetizing skills!

Then we use 4x6 and a dollar store photo album for the Bible verses.

HTH,

I would absolutely start with Beyond. We LOVED it. We are finishing up Unit 26 in Bigger this year for 2nd grade. My main regret is that I did not start with Little Hearts for the 1st grade. We used Beyond for 1st and Bigger for 2nd. In hindsight, I would rather have used LHFHG for 1st, Beyond for 2...

Hi Carrie!

If you are checking the boards, I will be at the conference with my friend who started HOD this year. We will arrive around 9-10am on Friday. Looking forward to seeing you again and getting stocked up for next year.

Any other HODies going Friday morning?

Judy

We are currently using BIgger. I use a "modified workbox" system. I have 12 boxes. I have combined some of the HOD boxes in order to add some extras such as Language Lessons and assorted Grammar Workbooks. That said, for the most part I allow my dd to arange the boxes in whatever order she chooses. ...

I am planning to be there on Saturday.

I agree with all of the previous posts. I am doing Bigger with my 7yr old for 2nd grade. We did Beyond for 1st grade so it was the logical choice for 2nd grade. While we LOVE Bigger, I do wish that I had started with LHFHG for 1st so that we would be doing Bigger for 3rd grade. I am seriously consid...

Just discovered a typo on Notebooking for Unit 22 Day 5. It states that Henry Wadsworth Longellow lived 17875-1851 and then in Timeline those same dates are attributed to Audubon while Longfellow has 1807-1882. These dates are correct. Notebooking is a typo.

I am originally from LA (Baton Rouge) and have lots of family and friends there. If no one answers then at least I can connect you with someone who can give you an idea about where to live. There are definitely areas that you would NOT want to venture into and then there are areas that are quite lov...

Be cautious about purchasing the newer Collegiate version. I am actually about to rid our home of ours. It was published, I think, in 2002. I stumbled on some words that SHOCKED me to the core and I am no wilting flower. Let's just say that the slang words they have added go all the way to the botto...

Carrie, Looks like I will be attending the Atlanta GHEA convention this year. I never have before - always go to the July one instead. It will be intersting to see the comparison. I understand the one in May is smaller than the July one but more heavily Bible-centered. Can't wait to see you again! L...

Thank you!

Did anyone ever find the correct verse? I agree that Job 8:10 doesn't seem to fit the lesson.
