Which guide will we end on in HS?

Post by mvillarreal » Mon Jul 10, 2017 12:09 pm

Hi!

Our son who will be 9 y.o. next week is going into fourth grade next month. We just finished Bigger Hearts and are heading into Preparing Hearts for the upcoming year. Even though the HOD guides are age and ability based, there are guides for each grade K through 12. If we stick to our current schedule, he will be in the 2nd to last guide (11th grade) when I consider him a HS senior. Our 12 y.o. is going into 7th grade and he is heading into Rev to Rev, which will put him in the last guide for his senior year.

Me dilemma is with our younger son. Will he finish his senior year with the 2nd to last guide? I don't want to bump him back a grade year (tell him that he is really in third grade again this year) in order to finish all the guides. I need to add a year, either now or at the end, to finish all the guides. Am I overthinking the whole thing? Thanks for any experience and wisdom!

Doing Preparing for forth grade had him finishing A 2ND in 12 grade, and that is the last guide.
