I just placed my order to PHFHG and LHFHG this afternoon...and they're already on their way to my house....looking forward to a box day at my house this week ! I can't believe how fast the turnaround time was!

I also used Bigger with my 7yo & 9yo {2nd & 4th grades} this year. The 4th grader did the extensions and both kiddos did their own grade level of math & grammar. I think it was definitely a good fit for both of my kiddos, and a good intro into HOD for our family.

HOD was at CHAP last year?...the one year we missed in the past four years We're going to MACHE and CHAP this year...so great to hear that other HOD users are going to these conferences, especially MACHE. It's such a small one but so close to us

I don't have any advice...but I just wanted to say that my two oldest will be making the same transition soon too {10yo and 8yo} I plan to have my 10yo go at regular speed and my 8yo at half speed, at least in the beginning.

Welcome Robin :D . I am currently using Bigger with my 4th grade son and my 2nd grade daughter. It is a great program, we have had a lot of fun learning about American history this year! Singapore Primary Math is not essential to the program, we used a different math curriculum this year...but I am ...

Right now I am combining my two oldest kiddos in Bigger {ds10 and dd7 - turns 8 tomorrow!}. My plan is to combine them in Preparing once we finish Bigger {we're over halfway through}. I do plan on taking them through Preparing at different speeds. I hope to uncombine them at some point so I plan to ...

Hi Renee, I also have a 4th grader using Bigger...I combined my 2nd grader {dd7} and 4th grader {ds just turned 10} for our first year of HOD. We do science together {although my 4th grader could probably do it independently} and I have him doing the extensions and the recommended assignments. This ...

Thanks for your advice Julie...I am pretty sure a 2nd copy of the Preparing guide is a must, and buying duplicates of some of the other often used resources will probably make our homeschooling day flow better next year too :mrgreen:. Homeschooling6, Thanks for the recommendation about getting a dup...

I hadn't considered slowing her down now...but that is something to think about. Right now ds10, dd7 and I {and sometimes ds5 joins in :lol: } do the left side of Bigger together after lunch, in the morning ds10 does the right side of Bigger pretty independently and ds7 & I do the right side togethe...

We love Bigger's science. Before using HOD I was never able to cover both history and science every week...but Carrie did a wonderful job planning Bigger's science program. The time required to complete it is perfect...since beginning Bigger in the fall we have checked both history and science off e...

Hi Everyone! I have been lurking on the HOD forum since the fall and I finally decided it was about time that I post :mrgreen:. I have been using Bigger with my ds10 {4th grade} and dd7 {2nd grade} since the fall...we are on week 17 and we absolutely love HOD! I am currently pondering where to take ...
