We had a wonderful first week!!

Beyond- Unit 1: http://ourcraftsnthings.com/2013/09/hea ... hg-unit-1/

Does anyone do a 4 day week for Beyond? We are going to be in a co-op on Fridays, so we will only do our lessons 4 days each week. So, I'm just wondering how others would schedule. Do you try to squeeze the 5 days of plans into 4 days?

My box came today! I'm so excited!! We are using BLHFHG, with a few beef ups for 2nd grade. I have 2 questions that hopefully someone can help me with- we are using R&S 2, but since I don't have the Bigger manual, how do I know how much to cover? I think I just cover 1 part each day, meaning 2 pages...

Thank you so much for the advice ladies!! Now I need to work up the nerve to place my order. I know I want to homeschool and I know I want to use HOD, but something about placing the order makes it so much more real and scares me a little bit.

A few weeks ago I was struggling trying to decide whether or not to use Beyond or Bigger for my 2nd grade daughter. She places in Bigger, but she will be just turning 7 in the fall, this is our first year using HOD (and our first year homeschooling) and I think the writing in Bigger might be too muc...

As I have thought this over and chatted with some of the wonderful HOD moms on Facebook I have decided I should go with Beyond. Now I need to buy it before I have time to change my mind again

Julie, Thank you so much for your response!! That was so kind of you to respond to me when you got back from the convention. Please don't apologize!! I'm sure you are swamped right now. I hope you are feeling rested up today from your travels! I have a few comments/questions about your suggestions: ...

Thank you so much for your responses! I am so impressed with how friendly and helpful everyone is!! Here are my answers to the questions Julie asked: These are the major differences to consider. Based on these considerations, I'd love to have you answer these few questions please... 1. Has dd had co...

Thank you so much for your help!! Everyone is so willing to answer questions and help

I thought if I posted on here that someone from HOD would help out. Is that not how it works? I have to actually call? My daughter reads well, I'm not sure what grade level she reads at though, or even how to figure that out. She recently started reading Magic Tree House chapter books, she needs som...

Almost everyone in the Facebook group recommended starting with Beyond so I am wondering what the benefit would be of starting her in Beyond rather than Bigger. I don't have any problem starting with Beyond if that's the best fit, but when I look at the sample lesson plan it seems too easy. I wish I...

I am so glad that I have been able to settle on using HOD next year for my 2nd grader. Finding the right curriculum has been so stressful, but once I found HOD I knew it was the right fit for us. I had settled on using Bigger for my daughter next year because she fits there perfectly using the place...
