Re: Oral Narration in Preparing troubles
I feel for you! My oldest dd has dreaded oral narrations in the past and they were hard for both of us. She, too, wanted a script to follow, to make it perfect. Last year was our first year into regular oral narrations and I wanted to pull my hair out. By the end of the year it was better. I did a f...

Re: How long does it take to get into your HOD groove?
We are doing CTC, Beyond, and LHTH this year. Our first days were last week. I decided to do half speed with CTC and Beyond for a little while and out of curiosity I timed how long each half took. I was pleasantly surprised. The left side of the plans for CTC took 1 1/2 hrs and the right side took 2...

Re: Need advice in Hschool "to do" list-time mngmt
Hi Liz, I think you will find once you get a rhythm, things will fall easily into place. Whenever I right things down in a schedule I get so overwhelmed when I see just how much I need to do, however when I step back and let the Lord lead my day while accomplishing certain set priorities it all work...

Re: CTC Shipped yet?
yay!!! I have been checking in hopes of the good news! I think I am more excited to start than my dd! Although, I 'primed the pump' so to speak in that I let her look at the apologia science book (her least favorite subject). She came and narrated to me about raccoon dogs and did a great job! I thin...

Re: Good morning! We are starting today............
I am praying for you both! The first day is always a mix of excitement and nerves, but it will be great. (even if it's not so great!--the last two years our first day of school has been challenging due to finding that routine again, but it ALWAYS falls into place and it is so worth it.) I will be st...

Re: nervous about lack of spelling??
Okay--I will admit that I don't make a big deal of spelling rules and what not. But I can only say that in the homeschooling circles..... Honestly, I have immersed my kids in great books and I have used 'big' words with them from the time they were tiny. Reading great books and dictation is wonderfu...

Re: Question on use of the teacher manuals
We/I write in the manuals. I have four kids and there are four corners to each box so we started in the top left hand box and around the 'box' we will go. My dd has a tendency to make larger check marks than me, but it is a great memory reminder. Maybe this year I will do stars or hearts in the CTC ...

Re: DS's retelling of RLS poem
Thanks for sharing this! I really like it! We did Preparing last year and the Poetry box and my dd surprised me. I must admit some fear and apprehension when we got to that box because my dd has difficulty with 'never seen/done' before activities. However, Poetry, became her favorite subject and she...

Hi there! This makes me so excited to start Preparing! We are starting next week with 3 days a week until full swing in the fall. Did you have a special presentation night or something.

Re: Preparing Hearts
Hi! We did Preparing Hearts last year and we loved it! In fact, I recently laid out all the projects on our table to take pictures of them for my scrapbook and I thought I would try and post them here so you can see them. (I hope it works!) I did not get all the projects pictured because my lovely d...

Re: Just doing the best I can
Hi Honey (I don't normally call people that, but I just was at your blog and such tenderness for you and your family brought it to the tip of my fingers) You are doing a great job, don't second guess yourself just because you are doing what you can. In fact, you are doing your best and that is what ...
