Re: Burnout on a deep level, with parenting

Dear Sisters, I attended most of the workshops of Reb and Beverly Bradley at our state homeschool convention in May. I wept in all of them. However, the truths and love shared in these meetings were life changing and liberating. Visit their website http://www.familyministries.com . If you could purc...

HS Fine Arts Credit?

I will be using RTR, Rev2Rev, and MT with my high school daughter. Will the art/artist study in RTR and the composers/classical music study in Rev2Rev be adequate for a 1/2 credit in Art Appreciation and 1/2 credit in History of Classical Music respectively? Any advice on how to beef it up if needed...

Re: God's Hand In Life's Little Moments

This is a sweet book that reveals Julie's and Carrie's love for the Lord, their families, and each other. Reading this book helps the reader become better acquainted with the precious hearts behind Heart of Dakota. I enjoyed reading it. Marie in FL (:

Re: To the HOD ladies who have children with LD/challenges

I am brand new to HOD using LHFHG with my 6 year old. We homeschool our five children ages 6 -17. My 14 dd and 11 ds both learned to read at 9 1/2 years old. Both are bright, but if tested would probably both have a diagnosis of dyslexia. My 14 y/o has sensory integration issues, and 11 y/o was diag...

I looked on the Singapore website's placement tests and decided to place her in Primary 1A. There were a few areas in the K test in which I...
