Re: Dissapointed with history book...???

Re: 19 month LHTH

How wonderful! We're planning to use Little Hands with my daughter who will be 2 1/2 in the fall. DH was worried that some of the curric may be too hard for her, but I told him we could choose a few things and add more the next year. I'll have to show him this post. Thanks for sharing!

Re: I just ordered!!!

I ordered Bigger Hearts yesterday and I am so excited! It will be our first time using HOD and I think it is going to be hard to wait until August to start. I wonder if I could talk my boys into skipping summer break...... :lol:

Re: Concerns about depth of 'Bigger Hearts'...

Thanks for your reply, Alicia. When looking at beyond little hearts, I think I would have to do a lot of supplementing in almost every area since my boys are going to be in third and fourth grades. The math, lang. arts, geography, science are all things they've done already and would kind of defeat ...
