Our thoughts on Preparing
Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 4:17 pm
We have used HOD for the past 3 years. My oldest ds started in Beyond for 2nd grade and had some adjustments to make as the teaching approach was different from that used in his private school classrooms in K and 1st grade. We continued with Bigger for 3rd grade, making strides in new skills like narration, dictation, notebooking, etc. As we started this year in Preparing, I immediately noticed that all our hardwork and persistence with HOD and the Charlotte Mason approach to teaching were paying off. It was such a smooth school day in comparison to our previous years with HOD. The concepts that he had been learning and the building approach that Carrie uses with her curriculum were now like second-nature for my son. This was our year where the proverbial "rubber" truly met the road. I loved Preparing and am truly grateful that the Lord led me to HOD.
