Re: Another Placement question

As someone who has been using Bigger this year with a seven year old 2nd grader half-speed, I would have to agree that I think Beyond would probably be a better fit for your younger one. There is a lot of writting and other skills in Bigger that she probably won't be ready for coming out of K. I thi...

Re: Rod and Staff English question

Oh! I'm so glad that the explanation helped! :D It is good for me to explain why we do what we do schedule-wise too, as so much thought goes into each decision and often I forget to share the "why" behind the "how". Thanks for asking! :D I may place this in the "reasons behind HOD's choices" sticky...

OT- Question?

My dd's birthday is coming up soon (she will be 8) and I would like to get her a new bible. She still reads out of her bible from the ER set, but she would like one that is a little more grown up looking ("one that's not just stories" she said, I read to her from mine so she does know the difference...

Re: Struggling with kids being in different guides--

What if you did the seperate guides as the amount of writing in RTR would most likely be too much for your younger dd and you would have to do the seperate LA, Math etc. anyhow, only combine them together for bible, memory and peotry (allowing the copywork at her pace). The history readings may be h...

Re: Question about notebooking...

Just bumping your post. I can't help you with PHFHG notebooking pages since I haven't gotten there yet but I thought I would mention that if you look in the weekly check-in section I bet you find some pictures of some notebooking pages in there.

Re: Bad attitudes creeping into our home...

I just wanted to chime in and say that I will pray for you. I agree that heart issues are or can be hard and long to train. We need to be careful to break the will but not the spirit of our children. Character First (google it) has some really great resourses for teaching character qualities. Someon...

Re: HoD Bloggers

I let my old one go awhile ago as I didn't seem to have enough time to maintain it. I just started another one yesterday but haven't put any school stuff on it yet. I'm hoping to though! My aunt has been hounding me to get one going again so she can keep up to date on what the kiddos are doing...she...

It has links to all the (or at least many of) the threads in which Carrie has explained her choices for different books/resourses/methods...
