Well - I think I found my answer - should have searched first - sounds like historical fiction?? If any of you used this book, can you let me know if this was the right fit, some of the posts put it in mystery (Carrie has it as Historical fiction). Let me know - Thanks! (Mystery and Non fiction are ...

Hi All My daughter wants to read The Secret Garden. This summer we are just doing DITHOR and some other reading from Bigger. What genre would Secret Garden fit in? Any ideas?? I didn't see it on the list anywhere. I know we could just read it to read it, but since we are starting a new genre next we...

HI All We began Bigger a few weeks ago and are enjoying it. As I look through it though, I see that in the last weeks a tremendous amount of time is spent on the Wright Brothers and then it seems a lot of history is skipped with just a smattering here and there about the Vietnam war and some other t...

Hi all I have a question about all the books with Bigger, and I just keep getting confused, so I figured all you wonderful ladies can help sort out this crazy brain of mine. I hope I can articulate my question well enough. Here goes..... I am considering using Bigger with my bookworm 3rd grader. She...

HI all Just a quick note so you can share my joy. Our box was on the front porch this aft, when we got home. Yeah!! :D My dd was THRILLED and said "can we start right away? Well not tomorrow cuz its Saturday, but Monday?? :lol: I'm not sur ewe'll start that soon as I need to get my footing, but look...

This was very interesting - I'd love any additional info too.

Hi All Thank you SO MUCH for all the prayers, encouragement and wisdom. I feel quite a bit of peace already. I can't describe it, but its wonderful. :) I was actually at my sister-in-law's house today (whom I'd passed my catalog onto and suggested HOD to) and she got a huge box from HOD. I was able ...

Hi All Please pray for me....after much prayer, deliberation, discussion with wise counsel from my wonderful husband, I took the plunge and ordered Preparing. I'm very excited, and hesitant at the same time. I've been in this place too many times, thinking I have found what will work best for us and...

One thing I'd like to add, that I noticed because I was wandering between the 2 myself (I liked the Geo/missions component), is that if you don't like some of the main books (such as in Science), its going to be hard to swap out because the subjects are integrated. In HOD, I can do my own science al...

Hello I am a planner too - which is so funny cuz, I don't seem to stick with what I have planned, but I just ordered my box for Preparing. DD is finishing up "2nd" grade. We didn't use HOD last year My plan right now is to start Preparing and go 1/2 time for a while. I figure we will speed up eventu...

Please forgive my (likely) dense question.... So with the 101 sample Bigger is the most advanced for that year? 101) How much money do you have? I have ten dollars, five cents, and a dime. lime time honey I am still contemplating bigger for my rising 3rd grader, but the more I look, the more I think...

Hmm - I just posted a reply but it didn't show But yes, it its Preparing that I am considering after much prayer and discussion with my husband. I will likely start out 1/2 time or may wait til fall all together. We were planning on just doing botany this summer and some great reading and solidifyin...

AWESOME!! Thank you!

Hi All This probably sounds really cheap, but can one use a different version of Eggleston's book? I found it online for my Nook for free through Barnes and Nobel. The issue is its an older version - like 1889 (or the other says prior 1923) Not sure if there is a huge difference between this version...

Ok, So as I look at what to order....I have a few questions. If I am planning to order the basic, but want the extra readers then I would order the deluxe package too. Yes, or does one order EITHER the Basic OR the deluxe. (Please don't make me choose between all these great books!) :lol: Plus then ...
