sorry...double post!!

I only have a quick moment...my little 2 yo dd is not feeling well. She's with Dad for a few moments.

My biggest concern about CTC, other that we just did the Ancients 2 years ago, is that my oldest won't ever get to American history past 1800. He only has 3 years left!

Does anyone have any further ideas on this? I've been wracking my brain about this and wondering if I am just out of luck in the opportunity to use HOD, especially being able to use it with both guys together. Sorry if I sound a little desperate...I guess I am! :lol: I feel exhausted mentally trying...

So with that in mind, here is a link to the placement chart: http://www.heartofdakota.com/placing-your-child.php If you get a chance to pop back and share where each of your students fit as individuals on the first page only of the chart, then we can help you fine-tune their placement! :D Actually,...

Boy, I was just checking in again really quickly before we head out (we're taking the kids to a hotel with some friends to swim and play games for the night...long, cold, wet Michigan winter!! :lol: )....and I find a WEALTH of guidance and support from you all!! Talk about above and beyond the call ...

pjdobro, thank you so much for your reply :D I should have been a little more clear...if I "back up" with the basics for my younger using the Preparing guide, in the years after he will have to proceed through CTC and RTR which both use the Apologia books. But, you're right. I should look into the s...

So, after doing some reading here, I'm still kind of confused as to what to do. I thought that maybe I could use the new Rev to Rev guide left side with both boys (then 1oth and 6th grade), and then I could do maybe Preparing right side with my 6th grader. But looking at the samples, science is incl...

I am just starting to research HOD and finding the correct placement.

I really have to say--the whole left side, right side thing.....genius!!

For those who have done this, does it take away from the cohesiveness of HOD if you do this?

Mom2Monkeys, thank you for the reminder that there's more to placement than history :idea: You are so very right...it's amazing how one can focus on one thing to the exclusion of others! So, I have been making use of the placement guide and looking over the younger guide samples. I am considering Pr...

I LOVE the look of HOD!! It seems to incorporate all that I was wishing to do this year in our homeschool, being our first CM attempt. We've kind of lost our way, and I am hoping that maybe HOD can get us back on track :D I don't know if it will be completely possible, as I have a 15 yo ds (9th grad...
