Re: To combine or not to combine...that is the question

Thank you, Carrie... I know I have been all over with my decisions on placing! Originally, I wanted to combine my oldest and middle but after great advice from all I realized even though I was desparate to combine that was probably not a good fit. My kiddos are just turned 10 yo son - 4th grade (dec...

Re: Suggestions, please...

Julie, THANK YOU, that was tons of more great information! I just accidentally deleted my response so now you'll get a condensed version! :D I absolutely think that our 10yo son would fit best in Preparing. He actually placed more in CTC on the placement chart but I was desperate to combine and now ...

Re: To combine or not to combine...that is the question

I too have been struggling with this issue as we plan to begin using HOD as soon as I can make a decision who needs to be where! I plan on having a 10 yo in Bigger, still not sure on the 6 yo (originally wanted in Bigger too but now thinking Beyond or LHFHG) and considering slowly starting LHFHG for...

Re: What do I need for a 5th in Bigger?

Thanks! That helps a lot ladies! I was thinking with DITHOR that since I was going to start him out with the level 3 books I should get the level 2/3 workbook but I could really get the 4/5 workbook and use the level 3 books with it. Can't wait to start...wish I could just run to the store and pick ...

Re: Suggestions, please...

So after some pondering and such encouragement that more than one program could be easily done I've come up with an idea... I still feel strongly about doing Bigger with our son 1)because I don't want him to miss out :D , 2)it sounds like it will fit right in with some current issues we are discipli...

What do I need for a 5th in Bigger?

I am going to use Bigger Hearts with my 5th grader - he is 4th now and I plan to go ahead and get it soon and start when it arrives. I plan to start DITHOR with him also but may wait to start in the fall depending how it looks when I get it. I'll probably do the level 3 books with him for extra prac...

Re: Suggestions, please...

Thank you ladies SO much for all the wonderful advice! I am pretty sure that we need to go ahead and make the switch. I am planning on doing some schooling during summer months. Our "fun" budget is tight and the kids get restless without having something to do so if they enjoy HOD it will be perfect...
