Re: Burnout on a deep level, with parenting

ME again! :) I just noticed there were more than I originally thought who mentioned hormones/glandular system. I forgot to mention that my adrenal glands are slightly stressed also (according to the tests). All of this CAN really affect how you feel physically and spiritually even. I wouldn't focus ...

Re: New to Heart of Dakota: placement???

Thanks Jen D.... Yes....looking over the sample pages of the guide, I do believe it will work out well for my 6.5 year old. He won't turn 7 until February, but still...I think he's going to do very well using this guide. My other option was to start bigger with both he (him? :? ) and my older son (9...

Re: New to Heart of Dakota: placement???

Yes...I see what you mean. I think he will be all set....and I believe he will actually retain information I never retained and enjoy learning too! I've been using Math-U-See and feel I should stick with it for both children since I already have the teacher's guides and my oldest told me the other d...

Re: New to Heart of Dakota: placement???

Thanks so much for your help. I am thinking that's probably what I should do. That was my original plan. (It's usually the original plan that is best, huh?). I really will have all of the basics covered, as you said. I figure I will go ahead and beef up the oldest's year with a science supplement an...

Re: New to Heart of Dakota: placement???

Hi pjdobro! Thanks for your response! Let's see... If I was going to place them each in a separate guide, I would say my 6 1/2 year old would fit pretty well in Beyond. He has done a Spectrum phonics 1st grade workbook this year...and it will be completed in another month or so. I'm not sure how muc...

New to Heart of Dakota: placement???

Hi lovely ladies! :) I've been looking over Heart of Dakota for some time now and am struggling to decide which guide to use with my oldest two boys. Ages 6 1/2 and 9 when September rolls around. I've considered Beyond...although it is a little out of range for my 9 year old who will be doing 4th gr...

Re: Testing...Testing...

OK! I guess it worked! Maybe I just took too long writing the other post? Hmmmm. When I pressed submit last time, it went back to the page to have me login again. But I was already logged in. Oh well! It's working now!!! :)

Hi! I'm new here! I just wrote a very detailed post asking for wisdom on where to place my children in the Heart of Dakota curriculum. I don't think it got posted, so this is my test post...to see if this is working! :)
