We put our voc. words on the mini-index cards with rings in them already, I got them at Walmart. I also typed all of the Bible memory verses and glued them on index cards and put them in a ring as well. I had them laminated first. It is fun to hear everyone's organization systems!

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your precious baby. We lost one of our twins at 2 months and lost a baby when I was about 15 weeks along. It is very difficult in the midst of the sorrow to see His plan for good but He is forever faithful and He will provide you the comfort and endurance to see ...

I will pray for you as well. I will pray that God gives you a sense of peace in the midst of this struggle.

Sorry for the silly question -- I just looked at the catalog again. I need to stick with the programs we will be doing this year - Bigger and Little Hearts. I have been sorting books for each of these with the read alouds and optional ones with the emgergent readers and the extension and DITH books,...

Very neat - thank you for sharing!
Sheila

Just thinking ahead and wondered if there is still read aloud or storytime with Preparing?

We will also be doing Bigger and Little Hearts. I will be doing Bigger with our son who is 8 and the extension for our son who is 11. I will be doing Little Hearts with our daugther who is 5 (6 in Oct) and our little daugther who is 3 will join in as well. It should be a great year!

It was good to visit with both of you at the NICHE conference - thank you for all you do! Thank you for the encouragement for this upcoming year!

Julie,
Thank you for the reply, I really appreciate hearing from someone who has done the same plan and found success. Thank you for taking time to be encouraging! I will watch how you walk ahead to share wisdom.

Thank you for the replies. I think my 8 to be 9 year old fits best in the Bigger just trying to make it more suitable to both with combining but think it is better to get the younger in the right level and then add other extensions with the older. We have the 2 little girls as well and trying to mak...

I was planning on doing Bigger next year with my 8 (to be 9 in Dec. - going into 3rd) and combining with the extension with my 11 (to be 12 in Jan. - going into 6th). So would be a 3rd grader and a 6th grader. I am now wondering if I should do Preparing so my oldest can get on the rotaion of the new...

Thank you so much ladies for the encouragement and insight. I was feeling quite overwhelmed trying to figure out the right placement and also if I was capable of doing 2-3 different programs. I am so impressed with HOD, both the level of academic skill and also the creativty (and fun) for the ideas....

Hello, ladies, I have gleaned so much information on the forum and registered today to post. We have been homeschooling for 4 years (can that be?) and have 4 children. I bought the Beyond Little Hearts program in Jan. to "supplement" what we were doing with our 8 year old (2nd grade this year) son. ...
