Re: Help with Placement

Hi Julie, I did see your reply, thank you so much! I have been pulling together the books that I have for Preparing. I will send you that list as soon as I locate everything. We just moved and I still have books in boxes. I have also been looking at R&S a little more in depth to see how it is laid ...

Re: Help with Placement

Just checking back to see if you'd seen my response! I've used Principles of Mathematics as well as R & S English, so I'd be happy to answer any questions about those as well! I can easily help with substitutions too - getting excited for your upcoming homeschooling with HOD!

In Christ,
Julie

Re: Help with Placement

Thanks for getting back to me, and I'm so glad we are on the same page and happy with this placement for your ds! As far as math, I think it is harder to come into Singapore Math when kiddos are older. Principle of Mathematics Book 1 might be a good fit. You can find out more about it here… https://...

Re: Help with Placement

Thank you for patiently answering my questions! You know your son so well, and your heart for him just shines through! I am leaning toward Preparing Hearts for His Glory (PHFHG), which is one of my very favorite guides anyway! The reading of the history is shared in PHFHG, and written narrations are...

Re: Help with Placement

Welcome to the HOD Message Board! Thank you for sharing about your son! Since he has been working on a 5th grade level with ACE, Bigger Hearts for His Glory (even with the extensions) would not be rigorous enough. Bigger Hearts is geared toward ages 7-9 years old (second/third grade), so your nearly...

Re: Preparing Science: Reading too Difficult

So good to hear from you! I cannot believe your oldest is in WH - oh my! Time flies!!! :D This is a really good question! I'll just start by saying remember this is a new skill in PHFHG. This is the first year kiddos begin reading independently for science and for a portion of their history (Indepen...

Oh Lisa, thank you so much for posting this! Seventeen years - wow! I know we've been blessed to have you on this board for many, many years, but I didn't realize it was for 17 years already?!?

Re: High School Social Concerns

Carrie and I love The Socialization Trap, so thanks for sharing those links/posts LovingJesus!!! You asked a good question here, sweetsimplelife! It made me think how we've approached socialization as our sons have become older teens/young adults. In fact, your question made me think about this so m...

Re: Another "School Year" Started

Sounds like you are off to a great start, Stephanie! I'm so glad you have started and are off and running with your guides and your homeschooling! Your kids are doing so well, and you can feel so good about how you manage that all. I can empathize with the 'end of an era' you are feeling. My middle ...

Re: State history

Many states look at elementary/middle school state requirements for homeschool students as having to be completed by 8th grade. So, as mentioned already, you could probably just wait until 8th grade to do the state study. Or, if you want/need to do it sooner, you could easily do that too! Here is a ...

Re: Drawing/Sketching in Bigger

I'll agree with the others that HOD can still be a great fit. My 3rd child, who is possibly gifted, definitely advanced, has never liked drawing and coloring. He avoided it even as a toddler. When we came to HOD (he was 9 and placed into CTC), he sometimes asked to skip the drawing assignments (whi...

Preparing Hearts for His Glory through Missions to Modern Marvels include Draw and Write Through History assignments. The directions are given one step at a time, and each step is simply sketched in pencil. The illustrations are easy to follow, and they even include pictures of the final coloring us...

Re: Please help! I need help with curriculum placement for my 3 children.

Thanks for sharing about your past year - those are some very hard things to go through! My parents had a house fire when we were little children, and it was such a challenging time. COVID certainly hasn't been easy either. I am so sorry, but you are on the other side of all of that now - praise God...
