anyone??

I am using Preparing to Build with my 6th grader in Bigger. How do I schedule it out? Do I do a lesson a day or whenever Rod & Staff is scheduled in the Bigger manuel? I started with lesson 2 b/c I checked the CTC sample but where do I go from there? Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Carrie,

Thank you so much for your input. I really appreciate the time & care you put into your users of this WONDERFUL curriculum.

Blessings,

Water2wine, :) Thanks for the encouragement. I hate the comparison trap. That is a good prayer you suggested. :D I am afraid sometimes to talk about my dc & the lack of academic prowess or difficulties they may be having. I know God has plans for each of our dc & they are ALL vastly different! I thi...

Rebecca, :D Thank you for your reply. I tend to get worried that we are not doing enough. Unfortunately, I sometimes read other posts about all the stuff they are having their kids do & I think to myself....wow, I don't do that. My dd is difficult at times to teach b/c she would rather be playing or...

Hi, Carrie I would love your input if you get the chance! I will be doing Bigger with my dd who is (will be 12) in 6th grade this year. She is an avid reader but needs help in writing & takes awhile to grasp math concepts. We will be really focusing on catching up in math (she still cannot handle lo...

Hi,

I was wondering about the books Bud & Me & Tolliver's Secret. How are they & would I be missing something great if I didn't get them? My library doesn't have them & I can't buy them right now. Any thoughts from those who have read them????

Thanks so much!

Thanks everyone, for all the kind words & prayers. I missed being here too! I look forward to another blessed year of HOD!!

Hey everyone! :D I am back! I have been lurking awhile. We finished up PHFHG this past May & it was a blast! I am so looking forward to starting again. Hopefully, we will get back into HOD in August. I wanna start now but my kiddos have other ideas! lol! We will be doing Bigger & finishing up LHTH w...

Hi,
we watched the Planet Earth series. The dessert & Arctic tundra. They enhanced what we learned in science.

Hey Julie & everyone,
Thanks so much for all your info. I love how everyone shares their experiences. What blessings!

Hi Juliekaye, I will be starting Bigger in August with my 2 dd's. My older dd will be 12 in Oct. & in 6th grade level. May I ask you what you add to beef up Bigger for your 12ds? I already have level 4 in R & S which I feel will be fine for her. I am thinking about igniting your writing & we have Sa...

Welcome! You are gonna LOVE Preparing! We will be doing our last week of it this Monday & we enjoyed ALL of it! Yes, you are right that you don't want to miss Draw & Write Through History. It is fabulous! You don't need any of the other books if you don' have them. They are scheduled on the bottom l...

Wow, I am sorry to see so many children suffer with this. I am however very glad you shared this. It really helps to have support & then to find out you are not alone is very comforting. My son is 5 & has a lot of fear issues too. So do ALL of my dc. They all have different degrees of fear & I have ...

Hi April,
Just wanted to tell you that I love your blog!
I share your hearts desire!
