Preparing - anyone create coloring pages????

Hi! My daughter loves coloring! Has anyone created any coloring pages to go with the History/Storytime boxes for Preparing? I don't have a Facebook account so I can't check to see if anyone there has created any. Thanks for your help!

Re: Picture book list to use with HOD Res. to Ref.?

Thanks for all of your help and ideas. I personally like combining all my kids together for History. I LOVE HOD but miss them being together. When my child mentioned they wanted to be with her siblings I really understood that. I totally understand the age levels and needing them to not be exposed t...

Re: Picture book list to use with HOD Res. to Ref.?

Thanks so much, Carrie! I really appreciate your insight and thoughts. I have been feeling many of the same things you mentioned as far as that time period being intense. My problem is that I combine my two older kids who fit together nicely. They are 12 and 10 and are both in Creation to Christ rig...

mothermayi? wrote:"All Through the Ages" is a great resource that has books categorized by grade, chronological order, geographical order, etc. There are lots of books in there that are already sorted.

Thanks so much! I forgot about that book!!!

Picture book list to use with HOD Res. to Ref.?

Hi, has anyone put together a picture book list to align by weeks with Heart of Dakota Resurrection to Reformation? My 3rd grader really wants to be a part of the older siblings curriculum and I think it would help with understanding for all children. I am thinking about doing the right side of Bigg...

Independent Science question

What are everyone's feelings about the Independent Science boxes once they reach Preparing? I can't imagine just having my child do his/her own science. Probably much like thinking they will never be potty trained :) Does it work well? Is there truly no parent involvement, yet the child can do it an...

Re: Ideas on making middle school guides high school credit.

Thank you for all the help. Great suggestions and ideas. How do you go about adding to the science to make it high school credit level? Do you just go by the recommended age if the resource or is there something else to look for? Thanks!

Re: Ideas on making middle school guides high school credit.

Thanks!! I apologize if you said this already but what science would I then use for the geography guide which would be my child's 12th grade, if I use IPC in rev2rev? That would be great to be able to have access to the college part of things. That must be very helpful. Thanks again!!

Re: Ideas on making middle school guides high school credit.

Thanks again. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your time in writing this all to me. I am still a little confused but would really like to understand. I am confused by this paragraph: You could do Biology in 9th (with RtR suing PACE Biology that Carrie is recommending for the World History guid...

Re: Ideas on making middle school guides high school credit.

Thanks so much for taking the time to post. So you think I should do the science in the upcoming high school guides rather than adding things to the current guide's science? Sorry if that seemed obvious. Thanks!

Re: Bigger question for a child not interested in History

What a great idea, Lourdes, thanks! I never thought of having her illustrate the readings! If she doesn't enjoy that, is there a coloring book option out there that might coordinate?????? Thanks for everyone's help!!!!!

Re: Bigger question for a child not interested in History

Thanks for the idea birchbark. That is one that I hadn't thought of! I will definitely look into that. I wonder if it would work to do the history parts from Little Heart and then have her do the rest of Bigger with her older sibling. This is all so confusing!!!! I really appreciate everyone's help!...

Re: Bigger question for a child not interested in History

Thanks so much for all the help!!! If I follow this advice: "I agree that could be an option-you could use the History from Beyond for your younger, and the Language Arts, Math, and Science from Bigger if that is a better placement in those areas". Could I then put both of my kids in the Preparing L...
