PRICELESS!!!! I know this is a blessing that you will always treasure!

We discovered this too. We felt that we were getting the entire story so we just thought it may have been a different version. I think you will find disc 2 the same way.

I am so excited! It was hard to get through school today, because I kept wanting to go back to read every little detail about the new guide and high school plans. It just doesn't get any better than this! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I took in another child to homeschool this school year with my child who is our only child left in school. My daughter is in RTR, and the other child is in PHFHG. While it has helped my daughter gain some independence, it has been a challenge. On the other hand, undertaking another child to homescho...

Thank you, ladies, for all your wonderful input. Julie, I appreciate your research in this matter. It lead me to check into the standards for Texas, and I found it very enlightening. I do continually remind him about capitalization and punctuation. I have him make corrections if he does not follow t...

My daughter is doing RtR this year, and we are loving it. I have also been homeschooling a friend's son using Preparing. He came to me in September after being in public school from kindergarten through 3rd grade. He is presently 10 years old and in the 4th grade. We have been working all year on us...

Julie: I know exactly what you mean, and that is why I love HOD so much! Many of the HOD books we have read caused me to make some type of personal changes in my life. I can honestly say I can look back and see so many areas that God used HOD's books to make a difference in my life. Although I have ...

I will say that it really works, and it was proven to skeptical me by the results of my dd's achievement test scores. Last year I was right where you are with wondering if it really would really work. After a year of trying dictation, I can say that my dd's achievement test results improved dramatic...

Thanks for the sweet comments as they encouraged her immensely. She is now writing more poems, and it amazes me how she does it so quickly. When I told her that she was going to do poetry last year with CTC, she wrinkled her nose and moaned. Now, poetry is one of her favorite subjects. Amazing! Patti

My dd who completed CTC last year told me that she had written a poem just for fun. I must say that I was thrilled when she read it to me. I know it is the result of her poetry study within CTC last year. I would like to share it with you. Morning Time The night's for all, To all comes night, The pe...

He is so precious!!!! I had to show this to everyone in our family. We all loved how he "talks" with his eyes.

Patti

I totally understand what you mean. Last year when my dd did this, we both found it confusing. I am definitely not saying that we did it correctly, but we worked through a couple of paragraphs each time she had this assignment. I feel the purpose of this assignment is to dissect the sample so they c...

Welcome! I, too, am a Texan. I live 90 miles east of Houston. I know you will have a wonderful year. Last year was my first year with HOD ,and it was the most amazing year in all of my 11 years of homeschooling! Enjoy your year!

I would be happy to take some pictures again this year. What a surprise we received when we clicked on the photobook and saw that she was on the front cover. I could not resist and ordered her one. It is defintely a treasure! We keep it handy to share with others as she is quite proud of it. Patti
