Ok, my dd just turned 5 in September. We started Little Hands in July with my 3 yr old, too. I wanted them to enjoy school together. I originally thought this was more of a pre K year for dd age 5. It turns out she is coming along nicely in the K phonics and math program I already had. She is reading quite well already.
So what should I do next year? It seems they will be 2 grades apart. My goal is to work with them together on everything but reading and math. Is this going to work? Any suggestions what to use next year for 1st grade? I am trying to study the book lists and sample pages but I thought I'd just ask those of you that have BTDT. I have 3 olders too so I am comfortable being flexible with the curriculum.
Thanks!

Look at the forum index, go to the Little Hearts for His Glory section, there is a post there titled "Hi from Ohio, question at end". There are some suggestions given about combining years and trying to get two kiddos together. Maybe one of those will work for ya!
How many months apart are your dc?

I think you could use LHFHG for 1st grade w/ your dd and maybe your younger child could tag along for read-alouds. I am doing it w/ my dd 5 for K and my 3 y/o listens in every now and then. HTH!
