Does anyone do anything special outside of the normal lesson plans to teach a little about what Independence Day means. I was looking for some ideas online and most of what I found were just star and strip crafts. I do want to keep it simple as dd is just 5 and ds is only 2, but I think that dd can ...

Well we started last week, but we are taking it slowly so we only did three days. Today we did day 4 of unit 1. Actually today was a bit rough. :( My son was very disruptive as today they are both a bit cranky....long weekend (which means schedules and sleep/eating times all over the place! :roll: )...

I'll be praying. Have a safe and blessed trip!

Funny how it is a little different to all of us.

I see HOD and in my head say HUD. Phonetically incorrect I know.

And yet, LHFHG, my head automatically says the whole thing. Same with the other abbreviations.

Strange.

So I did order the book from Rick Boyer, and another called "So....Why We Homeschool" (I think....if not the title is close to that, nor do I remember the author right now either...) off of amazon. I am hoping that they can help me put into words what I want to say to people. I certainly don't want ...

Hi Kelly, welcome!

I have found in LHFHG, that it takes us about 90 min. just like it said it would in the brochure. But we've only done 3 days so I am definately not an expert.

Hi Kimi and Jenea, Welcome!

Welcome! http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s104/holyhart/smilies/hitheresmiley.gif I'm new too, it seems like a great bunch of ladies though! I have to apologize about my spelling erros, I corrected them. I have a habit of typing fast and mix my letters sometimes. I really need to get in the habit ...

We started this past week. Although I tend to be more of a school year-round type person anyway, just take it slower in the summer (doesn't last long enough up here anyway and winter is just so looooooonnnnngggggg). And with the baby due mid-Aug., I definately wanted to get going with the new curr. ...

I've been thinking about using it with my son when he turns 3 (Nov.), but we will probably start after the holidays so not till next Jan. At least that is the thought for now....subject to change of course!

Another question :D ........sick of me yet??? :oops: So next year we go to beyond, from the cataloge, it looks like I am still using the same phonics book (we got the RME). Is that right? So that must mean that I only get through roughly half that book with her this year? I haven't figured out the n...

My first EKG showed stress on the heart because of the strength of the hearts contractions. (Since the blood pressure was so high) It did not show permanent damage. (can I sneak in a PTL?) Heck girl...shout that from the roof tops!!! Absolutely Praise the LORD! \0/ I'm so glad that you went to the ...

When well meaning family and friends are questioning your decision to hs? I feel like I am constantly defending this decision. "What about socialization?" "How do you know you're teaching them everything they need to know?" "What if they aren't as far along as other children in that grade?" "If your...

There really should be a section just for prayer requests.....(hint...hint Carrie :wink: ) I just pulled a deer tick off my 2yr. old ds. So the prayer request is that you would pray that while I have him under observation the next 48 hours (dr. reccomended) that he doesn't develope any lyme disease ...
