Thank you for the information about uploading pictures. I must admit, my oldest daughter actually put them on for me; I am very VERY technology-challenged! I found Carrie's instructions on how to upload in the Project Photo board and my oldest took it from there. Ah, my oldest just helped me see how...

Hi, Mumkins, I was waiting to see what responses you got to your question, since I am not experienced in HOD. So hopefully this will give you a bump! When I thought about doing HOD last spring, I had originally thought of putting the two youngest together in Little Hearts and starting half-speed. Bu...

Thank you for the vote of confidence, Daisy! :D (My daughter said yesterday that I didn't use any smilie faces... :lol: ) I told Adelle that you liked her cornfield; hopefully that will encourage her next time. I showed Charity Buttercup's painting of the gully, and it is impressive! Now Charity has...

Thank you, my3sons, for that answer. I really didn't want to give up the opportunity to read to my older daughter!

I appreciate all the replies!

I have only started CTC today (our first time using HOD); in fact, we only did the left side so far. So please take this with a grain of salt! I am doing CTC rather than Preparing with my 11yo daughter for some of the same reasons as you are--the dictation levels, the R & S levels. I just wanted to ...

Excellent!

Thank you for the timely replies! We are all set for tomorrow.

Yes, I know we are starting late...!! This is basically our first year of doing HOD, so I am trying to figure things out. Today for CTC I was reading Dinosaurs of Eden for storytime. So I looked at the oral narration tips for teachers. It says to get the student to do the reading themselves if they ...

Yes, thank you, Carrie! That's great to know!

Since we just started Beyond this spring and are now into vacation, I don't have a lot of experience yet with HOD. But I was thinking for a low-key add-on, you could read a section of My First History of Canada by Donalda Dickie each day on top of your HOD. That way you would have the blessings of t...

Shelly, I'm glad if I can be an encouragement. My youngest two enjoy school; it's my 11 yo daughter that dreads school. But she hasn't done HOD before, and I think that she will enjoy it. :) She is very artistic; HOD will satisfy the artist in her. I know that the Lord led us to HOD, so I trust that...

Ooh, I hope you really enjoy your time there. We spent over seven years in South Korea living in Uijongbu, just north of Seoul. What city are you in? We had a wonderful time! We cooked Korean foods and learned the language as much as possible. There are lots of sights to see in Korea and are very re...

I see that your question is already answered, but I wanted to encourage you, since your three children are almost the same ages as my youngest three. We are doing the same levels as you are planning. Our youngest two are really enjoying their school--when I do Beyond, the youngest follows along and ...

Thank you again for all the advice. :D With what you are saying, I am planning to start the right side of Beyond with my 7 yo in the fall, as well as the left of Little Hearts with both. I don't think my 4 yo is particularly advanced for his age, and in future years I may be able to put my 7 yo ahea...
