I do really want them together for ease of my day!!! YIKES! I'm wondering out loud here...but maybe I could have the older do more "written" in the way of narration back on the history/story portion and have the younger dd continue doing it orally with me. Which seems it would seperate them a bit......

Hello ladies...I love all your heartfelt, wonderful advice...so I'm starting here with my question (many more coming I'm afraid!!) I started HOD this fall after failing at so many other things...we LOVE it...we have never looked back and it was, without question, the best decision we made. At the ti...

Carrie...anyone???

I know you are working hard on the web page changes....I was just curious when the 2009 conference schedule is coming out...I'm PATIENTLY waiting to make plans hoping I can make it to an HOD one????????

Thanks!!

I second Math Mammoth...we use it as a review or extra help with great success....the price is TOTALLY reasonable as another post said and then you can reuse for other children or to review again (KWIM!)

Enjoy EVERY second of your first box day...and good luck in January!!!

Sort of on topic...sort of off topic...when will the 2009 convention schedule come out??????????

We do Beyong with my 6 and 8 year old daughter and we all love it. I have an 18 month old son (and a 4 year old)...so we are usually hopping trying to stay ahead of what the baby is destroying in the house. They love doing it together. My oldest really enjoys science and history. So if we get to som...

I have not used Singapore, so I can't comment there. But we did use math u see for a year and a half....it is Mastery in style...meaning you drill and drill and drill one thing until you know it.... you spend forever on just addition...which probably works well for some kids...but it was over the to...

Thanks ladies for all the great ideas...and for not thinking I had completely lost my mind!! I can't wait to give it a try!!

So we are almost total HOD converts :lol: ...but I'm still a hold out on math...we use Horizons and I love it...that said...I'm being pulled to try Singapore sort of "on the side"....I am enticed by the mental math side of it...so here's my questions for those of you that use it...do I HAVE to have ...

Judy My oldest daughter is JUST like this and I will tell you what I've learned...and it has been a learning process for me...not so much her!!! I'm a sit down and get it done kind of gal...who is great at checking off boxes in order!! (One reason I like HOD bc the boxes spread out over two pages so...

Jenni All these great ladies gave great advice...I just want to continue to encourage you...my dd8 has had many challenges, but one thing I have learned is that when she starts to get upset and overwhelmed and it is too much for her...that we must take a step back so we can leap forward. That's the ...

I haven't tried doing one and then the other....my daughter would fall on the floor in horrer if I told her she needed to do 2 math lessons!!! But we did go to doing math in the morning...along with other things, mind you....but then Grammar is done in the afternoon...LONG after math had been comple...

I'm not sure I have an exact answer...but I can tell you about my daughters...my 3rd grade daughter is doing Beyond this year. So next year, her fourth grade here she will do Bigger also...and yes this means she won't get through every guide, unless we do something different as time goes on. But I w...

I think the 3 ring binder is a good idea. I have my LHTH manual sprial bound. But I didn't do the others. I started getting so many spiral bound books that I couldn't tell which was which in my pile....just my 2 cents.
