Re: Week in Review: January 20-25,2014

I'm so thankful for HOD each week! I look forward to each coming guide. I can't imagine every switching!

Re: Week in Review: Jan. 6-10

I haven't posted an update here in a while. Can I say just how much I love HOD? The boys are learning so much. More and more I am thankful for all the hard work that went into planning these guides! We had our first week back after Christmas break. We're so glad to be back to our routines :) Unit 17...

We survived our first week! I was a little nervous to separate the boys into their own guides, but it went way better than I expected :) Unit 1 in Beyond: http://www.monarchroom.com/2013/08/heart-of-dakota-beyond-blhfhg-week-1-in.html Unit 1 in CtC: http://www.monarchroom.com/2013/08/hod-creation-to...

Re: Week in Review May 6-10, 2013

We made it through the last week of Bigger. I can't believe we did it. I am so happy with the result of our hard work. I've seen so much improvement in both boy's abilities in all subjects. Most importantly, their love of learning grew. I can't wait to head into our new guides next year! Here's a pe...

Re: R&S Questions :) Ideal level for guides?

Oh! I didn't realize R&S was also scheduled at half speed in Rev2Rev and MtMM. Do you think it would be better to skip to level 4, or is there instruction that is really important in level 4 that I should cover? Is there enough review in level 5 to skip level 4? I would think it would be nicer to do...

R&S Questions :) Ideal level for guides?

The geography guide's sneak peak got me thinking about R&S long term, and how to schedule it for my kids. This quote from Carrie from the composition and grammar sneak peak had me thinking: "Students will complete half of Rod and Staff 7 as a freshman and the other half as a sophomore. Of course, st...

Re: Questions about Extensions

Extensions are books that are read in addition to the ones already scheduled. That is the case in the guides I own at least :) There are instructions on the extension reader schedule.

Re: Going back and doing a missed guide? From Bigger to Beyo

Hi Carrie :) Thank you so much for taking the time to respond! A little more background on my kids... My youngest (7 y/o ds) was able to handle the physical work of Bigger, but sometimes it seemed to me that the readings may have been just a little too mature for him to wrap his mind around. A First...
