Definitely see where they place! If they place in the same guide or one guide sissy, you can likely use the lower guide and combine them. If they are two guides apart, you can consider combining with extensions, but it might not be a time saver.
Maybe come back and share where each one places?

Re: What does your day look like?
I have four kids in four guides. My oldest is very independent, and since I outsourced literature and Bible, there is/was little she needed me for outside of dictation and grammar. I rotate through my kids, spending 30-60 minutes with each of the younger three. When they aren't with me, they are doi...

Re: MTMM for highschool
Since NY only requires try credits, I wouldn't even worry about it. You get three credits in WG-US1 if you follow Carrie's suggestions. Some add in a few things and follow the publisher of IPC's suggestion and award 2 credits. So that would get you 4 credits! So unless your child is going into a STE...

Re: MTMM for highschool
For MtMM, The Elements is not a high school level book. The Evolution book is high school level, so you could align half a credit for that if you add in the tests/worksheets (HOD only has you do some of them because of time).

Re: Sticking with HOD long term
We started with LHFHG for my oldest, so we have used it for a long time. But I am finding I need to change things for my oldest. She is now in high school, and I think she deserves some input on what classes she takes and how we do them. For WG, we did it mostly as written (with a different math, Sp...

Re: Family Learning vs Individual
I thought I would teach my three oldest together when they were young. But then #1 was a go-getting and advanced, and I felt I didn't want to hold her back. At that point, we found HOD, and she started LHFHG at 5.5 years old. I thought I would combine the next two, and it FAILED. They are very compe...

Re: Taking a break
I wouldn't say tired is HOD necessarily. But we do get burnt out with everything going on. I think we would get the same burnt out feeling with most curriculum! Only doing school four days a week helps, but if we have busy weekends, we need a break occasionally.

Re: Taking a break
We school year round so we can take breaks as needed. Some times it is a complete break. Some times it is just the 3Rs and Bible. Some times it is a time for everyone to catch up on anything they got behind on. The older guides are only 140 days, so that leaves us a lot of flexibility!

Re: World History Timeline
Maybe when the WH guide is edited, you could leave a note for students (and parents) about it? I will contact her as well.

Re: New Products Coming...
Are there any hints as to what the new products are?
I am starting to get my cart ready to order, as my girls will start their new guides in June. They will finish Unit 26 today! So it would be nice to know if there is anything new coming out I would want to get for any of my kids.

Re: What guides are you using?
I have four guides going. My oldest is on Unit 26 of WH. My second is on Unit 10 of MtMM. My third is on Unit 26 of RtR. And my youngest is on Unit 11 of Beyond! For Beyond, we are doing some books we hadn't read before with the older three, and I am enjoying the variety. I am missing time with my o...

Re: DS6 - "EVERY Day is a Fun Activity, Mom!"
My almost 7yo calls history and storytime (and everything related to them) "fun school.". He loves that part of the day!

My daughter just added The Pilgrim Voyage on the Mayflower to her Book of Centuries today. We found the text on this entry incorrect: September 6 - December 21, 1620 A.D. During the time of the Reformation, the Pilgrim Separatists broke away from the Church of England with hopes to escape persecutio...

Re: CTC - Written Narrations
How is she at oral narrations? Maybe write out some of those for her, so she can see that she is capable of pulling out the important information already. Yes, writing can be harder, but it is just coming skills she already has.

Re: 5 YO Hates to Cut and Color
How is he at other fine motor skills? I first had always hated coloring. She wasn't great at other fine motor skills, but she would try to write letters, etc. And she was fine with things like mazes and connect the dots. So I realized it was just something she wasn't interested in. Now, at 15, she s...
