Re: Screamer

Hugs. :D I have spent many read aloud sessions yelling the story. It was comical. :mrgreen: Ideas for 18m old: Isolate in crib or room for "Room Time". Play happy music. Put safe toys and board books. Set timer for this and then close the door. School like mad and ignore screaming because you know t...

Re: How long to continue handwriting?

I want to chime in because the thread Carrie referenced is one which I started. :D Her counsel has proven sound in a very short time. :D My 8yo DS is working in Preparing with his older brother and while I thought he'd need more explicit workbook practice the daily cursive practice within Preparing ...

Re: a logistics question

Well, I am running two guides at the moment. It's a Very Full day but schooling with four + children in the house IS full, busy, chaotic, etc. I use the guides as they are; bound. My system differs from what you would need based on that but here is what I would do with what you have. Keep the Little...

Re: Made a mess of our hs year & need help getting on track!

Just order Bigger, start when you get it, continue on with R&S 2, a lesson a day until you finish and then start R&S 3. The box is just my reminder to do R&S, I don't even look atthe page numbers. You'll finish Bigger when you finish! Then move on to Preparing! I agree with this! Jump into Bigger, ...

Writing Requirement summaries for HFHTM series

Ladies, I'm trying to find a thread that might summarize the writing requirements for CTC through MTMM. Is it possible to put this together using the Week At A Glance samples? I assume the requirements grow gradually throughout the guide so that the first week may not reflect what is asked in the mi...

Re: OT- Bedtime Routine HELP

Our kids go to bed at the same time and they are usually allowed to read with their lamps on. They aren't allowed to chat extensively or get out of bed unless they need to use the bathroom. We don't have any issues except with the 3yo who seems to need to go potty every two minutes or "ask me sumpin...

Re: Guide lists pages not chapter titles

Sorry Carrie, but this is definitely a BIG disappointment and not an acceptable answer in my mind. As I have been currently evaluating plans for the next year, it may even discourage me from continuing with Heart of Dakota for my last three children. I have older children and already have a huge li...
