I love this story! What an amazing way to serve God by ministering to your friend and his son in such an important way!! Your enthusiasm is contagious and I think you will really enjoy this opportunity.

We are just finishing our first week of HOD and I absolutely LOVE it!!! :D I have never had such a peaceful, well thought out, organized, and full of learning home school days as now. Thank you HOD! :D I do have one question about DITHR. I have chosen the option on the schedule of 3 books for the g...

Good ideas ladies! I love the idea of snapping photos and inserting them into sleeves in the binder (or making a collage of them to print out for the binder). I also think I'll give the kids a bin for 3D projects and save them throughout the year, choosing a few special ones to keep long term and pi...

Carrie,

Praying for a full recovery for you all. I am so sorry that your family was hit so hard with the flu!

All I can say about the Sneak Peek is Oh My .

Accountability is so important! I also LOVE seeing HOD in action via the updates. I enjoy your blog so much Linda, especially the pictures of your boys sleeping in crazy positions. :mrgreen: Box Day is tiny as I already have almost all we need already. Sweeeeet! 8) I only had to order a DITHR studen...

How exciting. It felt so good when I placed my order back in Sept. Look forward to some weekly updates once you get started :wink: Blessings, Linda<>< Ladies, Thanks for celebrating with me. We loved our HOD days last year and being away from it for so many months confirmed how MUCH I love it and h...

After AGONIZING :mrgreen: over placement my DH and I have arrived at our Final Decision for 2013. Praise the LORD!! The orders to fill in the gaps have been placed, I'm nearly done prepping, and that is that. We are stepping way out in faith and placing each child in their own guide as I originally ...

Carin,

Your HOD guides will tell you precisely what/when to narrate within the Reading About History and Science boxes.

Thanks to all of the ladies who chimed in. This has been SO helpful.

What would you do? I am going in circles. I have tested him, queried him, evaluated him, prayerfully considered his placement, read threads, etc. He is 10y2m, English 4, Dictation 4, DITHR 4/5, has mastered cursive, etc. He has excellent reading and comprehension skills. He handles Guerber just fine...

Hello Karla, :D Alright, well, I will confess that our family really loves the Thornton Burgess books. A lot. :mrgreen: So, it's hard for me to wrap my mind around not liking them. :wink: However, with a language barrier I can see how it could be a challenge. Also, I think the age of the kiddo liste...

Dear Pam, What a beautiful post! Thank-you for inspiring my thoughts and for sharing so openly. Consistency is always an ideal I need to keep on the forefront of my thoughts as I go about my days. If I were to articulate some "resolutions" (though I feel a bit like you do in that I don't "make New Y...

Erin Kate,

What a treat to see you here at HOD! It's so nice to hear your "voice".

Thank-you for sharing more about her placement. That helps.

will you share with me where they are placed for math, English, reading (DITHR), and dictation? It would REALLY help me as I am fine tuning my boys' placement this week.

THANKS!!

Greetings all. II'll be homeschooling for the first time with my oldest next year. She's going into 6th and will be 11 this April. I'm seriously interested in HOD. The Christ-centered focus is the biggest draw in combination with what I have seen of the curriculum. I'm curious about beginning with ...
