Hello! I have some questions for those who use the extension packages for the older programs.... - Do your children read these book independently, and easily? Do they find the material challenging, easy, or difficult to read independently? - Are there any activities or questions linked to these extr...

THankyou! Thankyou! That's what I was hoping to hear! I'm afraid that you are right, that the books do look boring from their covers, and I shouldn't judge them by that. I love Carrie's book choices in Preparing, so I should trust her for CtoC as well :) I am so glad to hear that they are interestin...

Hi! I am currently doing Preparing with DD9 and we are really enjoying it and we have loved most of the books. I was planning on continuing on with HOD for the next few years (in sequence) but when I look at the spines for CtoC, I find that they look boring to me. Do you enjoy the spines- Story of t...

Thankyou!!! I'll keep checking!

Does anyone know if there is even a 'around about time' that the new catalogue will be up? Just so I know when to start checking!

Hello! Just wondering when the new catalogue comes out? I'm impatiently waiting!

Thankyou Jess, that is a lovely reply. There is so much encouragement on this board!

Thankyou Julie, it is so lovely to hear that things will smooth out for me through the year when I hop over these beginning first bumps! I do love all the suggestions - we already do quite a few of them - so, thankyou ladies! Nicole

Thankyou everyone! Today was a MUCH better day! I really think it is just trying to get used to using HOD, schooling three kiddos, just getting back into school in general after our summer break, etc, etc. Yesterday was a 8am to 4pm!! Today is an 8.30am to 2pm - much better!!

Thanks Michelle! *waves from across the ocean to you* (Im in Western Australia) I think you are right about needing to let them know what they are to do - or NOT do - when I am working with someone. They need a little project (even if it is just colouring) to work on while I am busy and they are wai...

Hello. I just started Preparing, Beyond and LHTH with a 9, 6 and 4 today. I know I will LOVE the programs.... but, it sure is a little frustrating and overwhelming when you are schooling three at three different levels. Oh my... I hope I survive this year!

You always have your own bedroom that someone could have quiet time in!

Oh dear! What an absolute pain!! Hoping it all smooths out for you and you get your box day!!

Carrie - thankyou for including world history! As an Australian, I can use almost all of the guides without addition or subtraction of your great resources as you include the US history alongside world history. Thanks!!
