Did you add in those letter activities? I don't recall them being a part of the guide A little late in the game to answer: oops: 3 years later, but for each letter, I had my dd glue on something that started with that letter. I also had a file with all the letters, so it could look nicer for decora...

Following as I am also preparing for WG this next year.

Since my kids are all in their own guide and always do things separately, I decided to have all three of them do the state study together. :idea: It does not matter to me at all that one is going into Preparing, one in CTC. We do the state study on Friday, so we can add field trips, make State recip...

It is mostly orally. If there is any written work, I have my ds write on lined paper, and he adds it to the section in his binder.

Hi ladies, I'm sure I'll have many more questions once the paint comes out!! :( I'm not creative at all. Poppy Here is a link of one of the wonderful Mom's who has Watercolor Tutorials for all the units. This is a great help. Especially since you get to see the work of both her children, and how di...

Although our speech therapist is very impressed with Preparing Hearts for my 9 year old, the rest of the message does not include HOD!

First time doing Preparing my ds picked the accordion style and it worked out great. I had to help him put it together at first, but once he got the hang of it, he did a great job and it turned out as described. :D Current ds chose to put it on a door and we are surely going to run out of room. At t...

I am glad for the encouragement Julie! I started DITHOR with DD 7 and I have been doing most the writing. She's enjoying doing the program, we do it 4 times a week, together with ds 9, he reads level 4 books, but we did level 3 writing to get him used to DITHOR again after our long summer break! :!:...

We are on week 2 and everyone seems placed just right!
Things have been pretty smooth around here math for ds in Preparing is a bit of a challenge at the moment, but he makes up for it in all the other subjects

Ds 9 will continue where we left off with Preparing in unit 8 Dd 7 will start Bigger at 1/2 pace until she is comfortable to d...

This was our second time around using Bigger in our family. Ds was well prepared to start it and did phenomenal during his year of Bigger Hearts for His Glory. Second time around is always such an improvement in my understanding of teaching a guide. :D my firstborn paves the way! :oops: :| we finish...

SHELF :cry: we finished 2 weeks ago, but I just now found a moment to get on the board! Each guide that I finish with my youngest brings some mixed emotions along! :D :cry: :oops: My dd 6, went through Beyond with first grade options. Her favorite subject was storytime, her favorite book was 'Who Me...

My ds had some trouble in first grade with the spelling words toward the middle of the first list. I began to have him circle the special sounds and mark the vowels in the words on day 1 and have him sound out the the words. This helped him very well and he moved on to list 2 and now dictation and h...
