Re: Readiness for Emerging Readers?

Thank you for so much encouragement! Your thoughts reminded me again that one of the reasons we homeschool is to work at our child's pace & readiness. It's ME who gets in a hurry, especially when I begin believing lies that "If she attended a school, she would be reading at THIS level." I need to ce...

Re: Readiness for Emerging Readers?

There are 2 lessons left. I had hoped we would finish in two weeks in time for Beyond -- we will see!

Readiness for Emerging Readers?

Hi ladies! I am a big lurker here on the message boards -- I rarely post myself, but I have found so much wisdom & encouragement from reading the posts. I would love thoughts, input, or advice for my question! I have used LHTH for preK and LHFHG half-speed for K/1st for my first two "official" years...

Blessed by LHFHG

Hello there! I am a lurker and occasional poster. :) I love reading all the posts and gleaning wisdom from so many women who have gone before me! I did LHTH with my oldest daughter the past two years, and this school year we have been enjoying working through LHFHG at half-speed. She is a young K'er...

Finished LHTH - loved it!

I began using Little Hands to Heaven in January 2012 with my oldest daughter, who at the time was almost 3.5 years. We just finished LHTH in May of 2013 - almost 1.5 years later. We purposely went half-speed -- using LHTH 2-3 times a week -- to accomodate a new baby (born April 2012) & a very active...

Spiral vs. Mastery

Hello ladies! We have only just begun our homeschooling journey (my oldest is almost four, and we are doing LHTH 2-3 days a week), so I admit I am quite new to the homeschool/education lingo. I've never been to a homeschool conference, or even a local homeschool group, and the what I've read about h...

Re: HOD Blog Roll

Hey Dusty, Is there any way to remove my blog (Tatumfam) from your blogroll? Unfortunately I just had to set our blog private earlier this month because I discovered someone had been stealing photos of my daughters & me and pretending they were her & her family (for over three years!). Ugh! So that ...

Loving Little Hands to Heaven!

Hello ladies! In January I wrote a post asking whether I should go ahead and start LHTH with my 3.5 year old, even though I was (still am!) in the 3rd trimester of my pregnancy, or wait until after my daughter was born in early April & when life had adjusted to a 'new normal'. After the encouragemen...

Re: When to start LHTH?

Thank you ladies for your helpful reply! I am going to go ahead and start LHTH in January - I am so excited about this! I know I was just "settling" when I was planning on doing the other curriculum because I was worried about 'messing up' a perfect schedule... which shows what a beginning homeschoo...

When to start LHTH?

Hello! I am new here and new to the homeschooling journey, but I am so excited, especially about using Heart of Dakota curriculums! I have truly been encouraged through the HOURS I have spent reading about all the curriculums and 'eavesdropping' on various topics on this forum. I have told my husban...
