Carrie, You answered everything I needed and raised some good points. I am also very much a supporter of the 3R's early on. I just wanted to make sure that science does become a more prominent part of the curriculum at an appropriate time in the future. I agree I do not remember much from those earl...

Yes, it is actually "Our Father's World" She listed the K or 1st grade science books as options in LHFHG. I am not thrilled with it either. Maybe the one used in Beyond is more in depth, I hope.

I am currently using a combo of LHFHG and BLHFHG for my 5.5 and 6 (7 next month)YO. Basically I do everything from LHFHG on the left. They each do their own math, reading, writing, phonics. Then I added the grammar and spelling from BLHFHG for my 6year old. Things are going great. We are using the G...

have no answer, I am just going to be doing the same book next year and wanted to be notified when she responds,
thanks.

Hi there I am doing LHFHG next year for my K and 1st grader. I am going to be using the beyond LA for my oldest and maybe start the emerging reader. They will each be doing their own level math and writing as well as phonics with my K level son (my youngest will just run around and cause strife to t...

Hey Ann I did 100 ez lessons with my oldest when she was 4.5 and I am now doing it with my son who is almost 5, we are on lesson 62 yeah!!!! I do love that book, it works well. I am just starting LHFHG this fall with both of them. I will continue to use books appropriate for their level of reading. ...

Crystal, I have not started HOD yet, but I have been doing school with my oldest for 2 years now, I have a 6yo 4.5yo and 2.5 yo. what has worked for me is a bin of toys hidden that are school toys, they only come out at school time. They are all quiet toys and some coloring stuff, the crayola magic ...

Melanie, No need to apologize, there was quite a long thread just a few days ago I think about someone leaving MFW for HOD. Reading that is what gave me "permission" let's say to not be IN LOVE with MFW. Up until then I thought I must be missing something since it just did not click with me when I l...

Melanie, I must have been confusing. I have never done MFW, nor do I have any of the supplies. Should I look into getting the book you mentioned ??? We are excited. My oldest is ready to do more stuff, we focused on reading and math only for 2 years. I am a little concerned with the one who will be ...

Melanie,
I will be using LHFHG, it loooks like that is what you are using right now.
I will be combining my 6.5 and 5 year old doing K and 1st. Thanks
Renee

Well I got my stuff yesterday that I ordered and I got so excited looking at it all. I was also very happy to read all the good stuff regarding HOD to MFW. I left my conference thinking I should take a better look at MFW b/c so many people I know do it. However, every time I have looked at it it jus...

That's the sad thing, I did do that my first year, had an old homeschool pro with me. This was my 4th year and my dtr is just now going into first grade. I am just now at point where I need to make some decisions, I am glad I had the past years as experience. It is just so enticing all the fun brigh...

I too went to the Indy convention on Saturday. This was my 4th year and my oldest is 6yo. I did great in the AM I had my list of things I needed for HOD and some supplemental math/writing stuff. I succeeded in having tunnel vison all morning. I was not distracted or feeling guilty for not stopping a...

Ok, I hope this will be the last major question regarding this decision. My hubby and I talked in length last night about the thoughts I had for next year. The Plan: Have 6.5 yo (who is reading pretty well, writing and doing horizons K math now ) and 5yo (in august , also beginning to read, writes l...

Hi, sorry another question. For LHFHG there are 2 bible options listed, but I see in the weekly plans they have the references for Family Time Bible. Are there references for "101 favorite stories from the Bible" In the appendix and somewhere else. I am also trying to decide between these 2 bibles, ...
