I'm sorry if I have been coming off wimpy or whiney I guess I've been sharing some weak moments with y'all. Sort of wearing my heart on my sleeve.
I've gleaned some great advice and am thankful for that!

Carrie, Thanks for taking the time to write all that! I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. First, reading over my quotes I thought "yikes" I sound sort of flakey! Communicating my thoughts effectively is not a gift of mine :lol: I think because I am a new homeschooler I'm still learning what will...

My DS seems burned out by "school work" and he is only 5(almost 6). We were doing so well with workbooks and such and I could see there was a sort of hunger in him. Now he resists any sort of structure when it comes to school work. Structure meaning sit down work. I know he is still learning. I've c...

Momof2n2- I will be using LHFHG for my 6 yr old(turning 6 next month). I tried starting it a few months ago and have decided to put it on the shelf till the fall. I will just focus on math, reading and handwriting. I found that the history was above him and wanted to keep it all together. We will do...

I so appreciate everyone giving me their input. It's all been a help. Just wanted to give an update......I re-tried the history and Reddy Fox book yesterday. I'm pleased to say that though the history book was not a huge hit he did sit and listen to it:D(probably going to save it for the fall-still ...

Thanks for sharing Patty in NC!
Exactly which LA and math from Beyond are you going to do? Is that all you will do from Beyond and then all of LHFHG?

Thanks!

Yes, I am a Momma obsessed! After writing my last post.....while making breakfast.....I had a huge thought. Which I'm thinking was from the Lord. I've been confused, concerned, chaotic-trying to figure out my plan of attack to teach my son. His age(turning 6)made me think that he should be closer to...

Hmmm, what to do what to do! So maybe I should re-think this. I'm going to give the history another try today. Seriously though, as soon as I pull it out and start reading from "Little Pilgrims" his eyes glaze over and same with the Burgess. I will be starting LHFHG from day 1 today. Should I double...

I wish I had known about LHTH when he was younger,it looks wonderful. My DS places in a combo of LHFHF and Beyond. Does my idea of saving the storytime box(Burgess books) and the History box(Little Pilgrims and History Stories) for next yr seem to make sense? Those are the 2 areas that seem a bit ad...

I've never checked out LHTH. I actually thought my son was too old for it(he will be 6 next month). Hmmmm, after I write this I'm going to check it out.

Thanks:)

Thanks for your reply Carrie. I really like how the boxes are set up. This past weekend I went through LHFHG abd highlighted the boxed I will continue with this yr(Bible,math,fine-motor,movement,science). I'm going to do the history and storytime boxes plus thinking skills(fine motor)for next yr. I ...

I can feel your excitement......woohooo. I have to say we LOVE My ABC Bible Verses. We read it every night before bed. I made up a poster and each time we read a new verse we add the scripture. He loves to read it and remind me what letter we are up to.

Enjoy!

What a blessing your replies are! Thank you for reminding me of some things and teaching me some new things :lol: I wish we were more structured and that he would love to just sit and do his work and then we are done. I feel better knowing that the way we are doing it is ok as well. Ahhh, big sigh! ...

I visit this board daily! It's been a source of motivation on my many(lately)discouraging days. I keep saying "I can do it!" My DS will be turning 6 soon. I have both the LHFHG and BLHFHG in anticipation of the fall. This is what I am wondering...I have noticed that many of you have a schedule. Some...

Thanks! I think I have opted not to dismantle my book.....too chicken
