We are in a similar situation except for us the history matches up perfect. Our coop uses IEW and my 7th grader is in that class on Thurdays and they are doing Ancient History based writings. I have her omit the poetry and language art boxes and it is still working out great.

I didn't understand who fought in the civil war until I read Gone with the Wind senior year in highschool (my choice, not assigned) and I was an A student. Somehow I managed to pass those multiple choice tests.

Wow! Its awhile away for us but thank you so much for taking the time to give such a thorough and personal response.
Blessings to you and yours and thank you again for all you do!!!

So are the hands on activities the same as in the singapore textbooks or are they written by Carrie? I may be able to borrow the Singapore textbooks. Otherwise I will try to stretch the budget to get the next guide

I'm right with you and placed my second order yesterday after doing the first part a month or so ago. My oldest graduates Sat. after being homeschooled from the start.

I need to keep them together for science and history. Both are alittle behind for their yea...

Hi Christi, I think we have emailed before and I've seen you on FIAR. My little guy with down syndrome is 4 so he is not using the program quite yet but I am using HOD with my older kids and I have too have heard several places that Little Hands is an especially good fit for our kids. I look forward...

I am new to HOD so not really giving you advice but letting you know that I was considering doing Preparing with my 7th grader also. Will see what other advice comes up in your thread.

I'm going to think on the workboxes. I wonder if that would help with the chaos around here. What do you use for the actual boxes?

Check in to Five in a Row. You can pick and choose from their manuals what both your children would be able to participate in.

Hi all, I will starting Beyond shortly. The 2 of my children who will be doing the program are 7 and 9. I realize my 9 year old is a little old for the program but because of family events the past few years she has not had much formal schooling though she reads at grade level. My 7 year old son is ...
