Hello, I have a 5.5 year old son that I have been doing Kindergarten with since August 2009. He actually turned 5 the week before we began school, so he is one of the younger fives. Anyway, I ordered LHFHG for him and we have been progressing wonderful with it. However, my son will be turning 6 in a...

Hello, My son is doing LHFHG, and the way I am teaching him to count by 2's is when we do our calendar time. I have all the odd numbers in black and all the even numbers in red. We say our odd and even numbers each day. I am teaching him that when he says the even numbers he is also counting by 2's....

Hello, We just started LHFHG last week. My son loved the devotion time, but we soon noticed it wasn't an everyday thing with the curriculum schedule. Since he enjoyed it so much, we did indeed add devotion each day. That was just our own personal choice. This week, I think we (me, my husband, and ou...

I just wanted to thank everyone who responded to my thread. I am definitely going to continue with the books right now and see if my son becomes more interested in them. He is having to get used to them not really having any pictures. I think he is a visual child and so not seeing pictures to go wit...

Hello, I have just begun homeschooling this week. I am doing LHFHG for Kindergarten (my son turned five just last week), and so far we are really enjoying most of it. Carrie, you have done a great job creating this curriculum and I thank you for that. :D I know it has only been a couple of days, but...

Hello Everyone! Whew! I am one tired momma! : ) Instead of beginning half speed like I thought, we just jumped in at full-speed, and I am glad we did! We did everything, plus a little more. It was interesting and fun. YAY! : ) Our first day with LHFHG went very well. My babies from childcare went do...

Hello Everyone, Well, the day is FINALLY here. We (my son and I) begin our homeschool journey today. He is in kindergarten this year and this is completely new to both of us. I am very excited, but have those jitters also. I am very curious to see how he responds to HOD. We begin at 9AM and it is on...

Hello everyone, I think I am understanding alright, but I want to make sure. Please fill me in on teaching "half-speed". I am beginning our school year next Monday, August 10th. This is my first year every teaching school. My son is five years old today and so we are doing Kindergarten with LHFHG. I...

Hello All, I thought this time would never come! After all the questions I have asked on the board, all the researching I have done, all the fears that have come to me about homeschooling my son, etc.... I have placed my order! YAY! Now it is time to get things organized and together for our homesch...

Kathleen, Again, thank you for your reply. You know... I want it all! It is my budget that is being stubborn! I was thinking the CD would be really great just because I have heard such great things about it. I really didn't know if the storytime set made a difference or not. We do storytime every da...

Thank you, everyone, for your replies. I am heading to Target tomorrow to check out their $ section. : ))) That will fit my budget beautifully! :D Oh, and I will check out the Dollar store also. I never even thought about them having items for homeschool/school, but then again, I really never shop t...

Thank you, Kathleen, for your input. I am sorry, yes, I am referring to LHFHG. I didn't make that clear before because I was in a hurry. Maybe I will try to work in the Bible... I was really excited about getting it anyway. This whole "budget" thing really puts a damper on things. Thanks again! Oh, ...

Ok, I should have asked this in my earlier thread, but do I need to order the storytime set right now, the hide em' in your heart cd, and the Rod and staff books (do it carefully and finding the answers) to have a complete curriculum for my kindergartener? The reason I ask is because I already have ...

Hello, I am ready to place my order with HOD, but I was wondering.... if I just use a Bible that we already have and do other handwriting, will it affect the curriculum at all??? I am trying my best to keep costs down right now, but yet still have a solid and good curriculum. Thank you! Have a wonde...

Hello, I am trying to get things together and prepared for homeschooling this fall. I am new to all of this and my son turns five in August, so we will be doing kindergarten. I think I am set with curriculum (HOD, of course). : )))) However, I want to create a special space for my son to do some of ...
