Re: Traveling tips for Beyond, Bigger, and Preparing?

Maybe take pictures of the pages in the T.G. with your iPad (like you did for Rod and Staff)?

Re: Reassurance/thoughts on placement

So I looked over the Little Hearts Teacher's Guide today. I would love to tell you that I looked at both Little Hearts and Beyond…but NO. I chose to do Little Hearts. As I looked through the guide and the various activities, I automatically thought of ways to "increase" the challenge for my 6yo. The...

Re: Reassurance/thoughts on placement

So, I wrote a huge long post, my phone fritzes and I lost it all. Then, I get on my tablet to discover that Nealewill has essentially written my post verbatim. :-) Great minds think alike! :lol: What I'm understanding you saying is that your 5yo is learning to read, has a decent grasp of letter for...

Re: Reassurance/thoughts on placement

Daneale, I don't believe that I can afford to purchase 3 separate guides this year. I guess erring on the side of easier would be better. I appreciate your thoroughness in your response. I haven't actually seen the guides yet so it is somewhat difficult to envision, yet your description helps a lot....

If you would like to combine (as opposed to running three back-to-back-to-back guides), you might consider placing your middle with your youngest in Little Hearts. Si...

Re: Reassurance/thoughts on placement

Wow!! Thank you all for your replies, I really appreciate it. So now I am planning on putting the girls together in Little Hearts. I looked at Preparing last night for the first time really, and that could be the best match for my son. I am now trying to figure out how to logistically get 2 programs...

Reassurance/thoughts on placement

Hi, I am schooling 3 children (ds 10yo, dd 6yo {will be 7 in Oct}, and dd 5yo). I was thinking on putting the 2 older children in Bigger. We would be starting in August/September. My ds is a reluctant writer and I thought that with the extension pack that this would work well for him. He is a good r...
