I am in the process of leaving FB - just wondered how active the HOD board is on MeWe? I have applied but haven't been accepted yet...The message boards are not the same as they used to be on here. Just looking for more action

Thank you so much! Just over thinking things, I guess! I appreciate your time

Hi! I am a homeschooling mom of 2, both graduated. It looks like I may now be starting again with my grand baby who will be 4 in May. He may be living with us full time. I used HOD with my son several years ago and I believe I started with Beyond and went through Preparing when I had to switch to so...

This is my tenth year homeschooling and our third year using HOD, but we are only finishing our second guide. We started with Beyond and we are now finishing up Bigger. My ds will be 11 in June. I am struggling with skipping Preparing and moving to C to C just to get him on a better schedule grade-l...

Thanks, everyone. We're hanging in there!

For what it's worth this is what we do. I go to Bible.com and type in the memory verse and hit look up in several versions, then I list my three or four favorites and see which I like best for that verse. I did this for Beyond too and it worked out really good. I make the print large :wink: and for ...

Sorry, I was just frustrated I guess. No, we won't give up, although I may be doing all the singing by myself, lol. Yes, I do read the pages before the songs to him. Thanks for the encouragement. I think I'll have him listen through the week and have a "solo", just him and me, on Fridays - do it onc...

Okay, I am about to give up on the hymns. We are just in week two of Bigger, and my ds (age 8) is not at ALL interested in the hymns. We are on "Holy, Holy, Holy", which is one of MY favorites, and he is completely less than interested! He doesn't even want to pretend to listen, let alone sing, if A...

I have a tab in our three ring binder labeled "Art" and one labeled "Poetry", in addition to all the others and I just file everything in one place.

I agree with making school special -- we have always (nine years h/s) had a "not back to school day" on the first day of ps. We go somewhere special, or have a special treat or something to mark the day. My ds, 8, always wanted to ride the bus, but he hasn't mentioned it lately. My daughter always w...

Thanks for the encouragement! I have been trying to make a decision between spelling words and dictation, so this really helped. We will be doing dictation since reading these posts.

We will be starting Bigger on 8/15, at least that's my plan! Still trying to get a couple of non-school things in place. Looking forward to this year, except for writing - actually putting pen to paper, my ds hates handwriting - so we will see. There may be some bribery going on here because I am ai...
