Hi Pam and welcome to HOD! We are in a very similar situation. We have 2 older kids who both live at home and a 5.5 year we adopted when she was 20 months old. She has MAJOR anxiety issues over leaving mommy as well as changes in scheudule/routine so homeschool seemed like a logical choice for us. E...

Thanks Julie, I just ordered LHTH on Wednesday so we will start it when it arrives. I'm getting very excited and knowing that I won't be stressing her out over math should help both of us!!

Blessings,
Dawn

Thanks, I think it would be wise to let that program go for now. I think I will just stop at Walmart and see what kind of workbook they have for the 4 year old set to keep her working on something until I get things figured out. I don't want her to be frustrated so early on in her school career. I'd...

Hi everyone! This board has been so helpful to me already so I hope you don't mind one more question. My daughter is 5.5 and we are just beginning our homeschool journey this year. We are using Horizon's K math, things started out great but I have noticed that she is not "getting" it right now. She ...

I just ordered LHtH! I can't wait for it to arrive! I think this will be a great addition to our first homeschool year.

My DD is 5.5 and we are having the same issues. I'm guessing it's just something that comes with time. I'll be watching this thread for suggestions though.

Ok, so I just had a chance to look at the LHTH information and it seems like it would be a great addition to what we are doing now, not a replacement.
I guess I know what I'll be ordering soon!

Thanks for pointing me in that direction!

Welcome Dawn! I know you said you were looking for something for next year. But, I was wondering if you had considered Little Hands to Heaven for the time being? It is a gentle program and lots fun and memory making time for the little ones. Just a thought! Blessings to you and I hope to talk with ...

Wow Julie, that is a great system! I hope to be that organized some day. Right now I'm just using an extra calendar. :D I'm really excited to hear that HOD doesn't follow a strict schedule. I really am looking forward to starting it. I definately will have to wait until I need to start it to place m...

Wow Jasmine, you have a lot going on right now! Prayers going up for you and your family!!

Dawn

Thanks for the suggestions. I think that the thought of being unstructured like you said is sort of what has me worried. Both EmmaLi and I need that in our day or we just sit around doing nothing. I think we will give it a try, if nothing else like you said, a few days a week!!

In Christ,
Dawn

I am going to have to hold off on ordering them until I absolutely HAVE to because I know it will be ME who won't be able to stay out of them!!!

Dawn

I will not begin HOD until after we fininsh up with this year. I am taking things very slow with my dd and basically just lapbooking each letter of the alphabet with some math/social studies thrown in as well. I figure we will be done with that by April as well as having our states required amount o...

Thanks Julie! I feel so at peace right now over all of it! (and that is very unusual for me) :D Now to brag a little! My 17 year product of the PS system was just accepted to Judson University today! Oh my gosh, I have a daughter going to college next year!!! :shock: Anyone know of a quick growing m...

Thanks again everyone for both the warm welcome and encouraging posts!!! I am now almost 100% convinced this IS the curric for us next year. I'm so excited I want to start now but I know that is not the right thing yet. I spent most of last night trying my best to find a reason not to use it, I have...
