So it would be the 4th high school guide my son would not get to use?

Oh, Julie, you make it sound so simple :D. What about my son? If we started with Preparing next school year then "happily skipped" along the guides from there, my son would do "The Age of Exploration and Invention" guide in the 8th grade and would not get to Modern Times. Modern Times is the one are...

After having some time to think things through a little more I thought there was really no way for us to use HOD next year, but here I am...still trying to find a way to make it work :) . Carrie, I liked the idea of going back and putting both kids in Preparing. I think that would give us time to re...

I went back and looked at the placement guide. For the most part both children place in CTC. The skill they are weakest on is probably written narration. My son grasps grammar concepts better than my daughter right now, but she's not far behind him. I know it wouldn't be ideal, but could I do the hi...

Hummm...Two different options for me to think about, motherjoy and Laura . Thanks for the suggestions. I wish I could see both TMs, but Carrie is not coming to my state this year .

Thanks for your honest opinion, Julie. I had a feeling that's what you would say :lol: . I am really struggling with repeating that time period, but I completely understand what you're saying about them not being ready for RTR. We're taking a spring break next week so hopefully I will have a chance ...

Just bumping this up hoping Carrie will answer or to get a little more feedback from others.

Thank you, Patty and Blessedmomof4. I did look at the placement guide and my children are definitely placing more in CTC. I was just wondering if I used RTR if I could read aloud some of the books to them and make it work. I'm sure it would add time to the day. If I went back to Preparing would you ...

Help! I've gotten myself into a pickle! I have one ds10 (he'll be 11 in August, 5th grade next year) and one dd 9 (4th grade next year). We used HOD Bigger last school year and had a great year, but I decided I would like to try to put together my own curriculum for the current school year using Mys...

Thanks a bunch, Carrie! Now we can move on with our day
We're loving BHFHG. Thanks for all your hard work writing it.

I just had my son look up Psalm 11:28 per the directions in the TM and he informed me there was no Psalm 11:28 :lol: I looked and sure enough it's not there. Have any of you found a suitable subsitute verse? Carrie, I'm hoping you will chime in and let me know what we should do. I'm sure it's just a...

Looks great! Very inspiring!

Thank you for your reply, Julie. I guess I'll have to make do with the form I made until we get to Preparing next year .

Hi Julie, I just read your reply to the supplies question for Bigger. I saw the "Science Experiment" page your son was working on. Did you create that yourself? Where did you get the cute clipart? We're going to start Bigger in the Fall and I'm so excited. I created a similar page, but mine doesn't ...

As I have been looking over my BHFHG TM, I wondered if there was a particular order you used when working through your day. This is my first year with HOD. We have always done our Bible Study first thing, but I noticed that the BHFHG Bible Study goes along with the History Box so would the history r...
