Never mind...just reread the box..it's on the map with Saudi Arabia...SORRY!

Hello all~

I'm all set to start Egypt with my kiddos and popped my CD into the computer and there is no Egypt map! I was able to find Turkey, Israel and Saudi Arabia. Did anyone else not have Egypt? Am I looking in the wrong spot perhaps?? Thanks~holly

Congrats Stawna! Your kiddos are adorable and I'm sure this one is just precious as well...enjoy every moment! I miss those baby days dearly. Many blessings~Holly

Hi! I just PMd you with a link...it's a beautiful chart and my kids spent several minutes just studying all of animals. Check your Private Messages... ~Holly

How on earth did I miss that??!! Thanks so much!

Hi all~

Is this still offered through HOD? I can't seem to find it! If not, is anything recommended in it's place? Thanks a bunch~Holly

Hello~ Just wanted to pop on and agree with Julie~DITHOR looks teacher intensive and I was rather scared of it for a bit! Once I jumped in (after about 3 months of using HOD), I realized that it was actually pretty easy to implement and GREAT FUN. My kids LOVE DITHOR and love the fun kick~off to the...

Thank you ladies~I printed out Carrie's post.

Hi ladies~ Just a quick question~I'm thinking that I'll need to do CTC half~speed for a bit...I'm curious, for anyone who has done half~speed for CTC, could you please guide me a bit into how this is done? I know to keep doing the daily Language arts and Math boxes...should any other boxes be done d...

Hi~ I really can't remember if I asked this or not, but here goes! :D We are getting to the lasts units of Preparing (we start Unit 26 next week), and we're all set to start CTC in June (we school year round). My students starting CTC will be 9 (10 in July)...this is the younger/mid age range for th...

Boy, I have no idea~can you take him to lunch to break it to him, then take him shopping for new school supplies?? Maybe plan a special breakfast for the first morning?? That's a tough one! I hope someone pops on with some good ideas...

Thanks Julie! We're having an absolutely outstanding year by the way~I never knew homeschooling could be like this...starting Week 7 on Monday! ~Holly

Hi all~

My girls are really enjoying this book! I had a quick question~is the book Timnah by the same author used at all in HOD? I was thinking about buying it for my girls to read for fun...but if it's used in later years, I'll wait. Thanks! ~Holly

Stawna~ I'm not her (obviously!), but TM means Teacher's Manual, I'm guessing. I was scared to add DITHOR to our Preparing year too~my gals are around the same age as your son. It's REALLY easy and doesn't add too much time...I recommend it, however, since it's your first year homeschooling, I think...

Stawna~ Sorry it's taken me a few days...school has been busy and we came home Sun. night to a cat having 5 kitties in our yard :shock: and I'm fighting a sore throat. You'll really have to play around with your schedule to see what works for you and your aged kids~it may take a couple of weeks and ...
