Re: Poem question from Beyond

Is there any way someone could share the poem? I tried to find it online and can't. I really don't want to wait until the TM arrives to start!!!

Poem question from Beyond

I ordered my TM, and I'm going to go ahead and do the first week based on the online sample, however, I need the poem for week one. Can anyone tell me who the author is of "The Storm" from week 1 of Beyond Little Hearts, so I can at least look it up?
Thanks!

Re: Boyhood and Beyond

We haven't started Beyond yet (next year!), but already, at 6.5, my son talks about his wife someday. It warms my heart to know that my husband and I have modeled a marriage that while not perfect (whose is?!), is obviously still such a positive example, that my son already picks up on it, and desir...

Can I combine my kids? How?

DS is doing Little Hearts now, he's 6.5, in grade 1. Our daughter is only 3.5. She technically has one more year until Kindergarten (by law she has to start by 5 here). I really do not want to be doing two different programs/currics for the kids. So this year I'll do something with DS and do pre-K w...

Re: Special Needs

My daughter is younger than yours (turning 4 in June), but we're using LHTH, and love it. It's perfect for her. She struggles with receptive language and comprehension. I find it's nice simple language (though we do skip the devotional because it's over her head). I especially love all the dramatic ...

Re: Reading Comp curric really necessary?

My son will be doing the second reader which is a 3-5th grade reading level. He's only 6, but is already a fluent reader, past phonics. He's just finishing up the Emerging reader set, now. The picture is a sample of what he's reading.

Reading Comp curric really necessary?

We're going to start Beyond in the fall. We'll be using McGuffey Eclectic Readers for our reading program. Someone told me that we'd need a reading comp curriculum as well.. but really? Between the reading comprehension questions already listed in the guide for story time, the reading comp questions...

HOD vs. MFW? Why did you choose HOD?

For those who considered MFW and HOD... why did you pick HOD over MFW?

Re: Calling all Catholics... input please!

As for Grandpa's Box, it is just an overview of the Bible. Since it is an overview and in Story form, you are using it for learning the history, not really doctrine. And in general, I have been extremely happy with HOD and how it intertwines the Bible with the lessons. And everything they bring for...

Re: Calling all Catholics... input please!

I am not Catholic, but I hope you don't mind me commenting. Carrie's foundation when writing these guides was the Bible and what her family's personal Christian beliefs and most on this board believe to be doctrinally true according to the Bible. While there are other Catholics using HOD, if any (C...

Calling all Catholics... input please!

So I've read several threads on here that say there are no doctrine issues etc... with HOD and that very little needs to be changed in order to be used for Catholics. But then on a Catholic board I was on, someone wrote the following... Note: Part of post removed per board rules by board moderator. ...

Re: Another returning HOD'er...

We're returning as well! We let go of LHFHG for my son (grade 1) before Christmas, we just weren't feeling it, and we were using our own science, math and phonics. But, honestly, we've missed it, and are returning! Can't wait! We start back next week. Our daughter just started LHTH last week.

Re: Spread out LHTH? Or do it twice?

We have older DS who is doing LHFHG. But DD is in ABA therapy every day from 12-4, so I do LHTH with her in the morning, then I do DS's lessons in the afternoon during her therapy - though I only have one more year of that. I'm debating between doing LHTH twice, or doing LHTH now and MFW K before pu...
