Can anyone help me find a post that My3sons posted regarding how to set up for Bigger?? She had pics with instructions for getting ready for the year... I am starting in 3 days and would love to see her step-by-step set up of Bigger, but I can't find it. Also, any suggestions for notebooks/binders o...

I have the same concerns as we are considering switching from Abeka to Singapore. I am a little nervous about not having the built in review/spiral approach....I'd love to hear more peoples responses.

Thanks Carrie! Those were excellent links and super helpful. I am learning that spelling dictation doesn't necessarily have to be difficult that they are mastering the words if they are spelling them each day. Thanks!

Thank you so much for responding... momofgreatones- I appreciate your take on the matter and letting me know that part of the Child's History book is skipped. I know that I can easily skip it myself but I guess I like knowing that I am on the same page as HOD and their philosophy. I used Sonlight be...

Hi, I recently rec'd my books for Little and Bigger...I have been so excited about HOD... However, last night I started reading through some of the history books and was very dissapointed with some of the things I read. Particularly, in the history book "A Child's Story of America", I felt that ther...

Wonderful ideas!
Thank you so much ladies! I don't mean to seem dense but can anyone find me a link where someone may have posted pictures of these plastic drawers everyone is talking about??? I am very visual
I love this board! Everyone is so helpful and it is so encouraging!
In Him,

Hi, I've got 3 big boxes of HOD books, including DITHOR for 3 children- 1 in Bigger and 2 in LHFG. I would love to hear how others have organized their books. I am really trying to simplify. I have tried so many other curriculums and I have a LOT of books, most of which are on shelves in my basement...

Hello, what would you suggest if the spelling/dictation for my 10 year old. She will be doing Bigger in the Fall and the lists and dictation in the back are too easy for her. Would you recommend getting the Preparing guide just for the dictation passages? I know there are 3 levels in the back...wher...

hi- I'm new to HOD, but just rec'd my books for Bigger and Little Hearts. I have a very bright 10-in-October who will be in 4th grade this fall. I thought and prayed long and hard about whether to use Preparing with her. I also have a 7 yr old DD rising 2nd grader and 5 yr old K DD. The books in Big...

That is so cute! We just got ours over the last 2 days (3 boxes!!!) and I don't know who is more exciteed me or the girls! I had to make them promise me not to read any!

I too can relate to this guilty feeling...I have also considered a video curriculum, but in my heart I know this is not what the Lord wants me to do at this time and pray He grants me the grace to continue on. I just wanted to recommend a book that I have found soooo helpful and plan on reading agai...

Hi, I'm new to HOD but just rec'd my books for the fall. I prayed and thought long and hard and also rec'd a lot of great advice from this board about where to place my 3 DC ages 5, 7, and 10 in the Fall. I decided to go with Bigger for my oldest daughter. She will be in 4th grade and turning 10 in ...

Wow, Thanks again Julie for the excellent information!
In Him,

Thanks so much for your responses! I have found them so helpful! I feel much better about it now and enjoyed reading a link to Carries explanation of how she pairs CHOW with her other books to give a complete bibilical worldview. I am feeling much more comfortable with this choice. Thanks everyone f...
