Also do you think it is possible to execute 3 programs including this one at the same time (BHFHG, LHFHG, and CTC)? I guess it would be dependent on how independent a child can be using CTC? Also, about how long does each box in Bigger take for an average child who places in Bigger? How much teacher involvement is there in CTC? Thanks!

the activities in Bigger take around 20 minutes. Some people do 3 programs. I only have 2 kids so we do two programs.

playschool,

This previous thread on times for Bigger Hearts will help with your question on the time allotments.:
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=702

Here's a link to my schedule for LHFHG and Bigger Hearts which will help you with that question. Scroll down to see my schedules.: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2093&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15


Here's link to a thread on the various parts of CTC. Total time on this program (including math, DITHR, and creative writing is 4 to 4 and 1/2 hours a day).: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2858

You can do 3 programs if needed, as we are currently doing it ourselves. However, if you are new to HOD it would be better to start with 2 programs, and then branch out into 3 the following year if at all possible. :D

Blessings,
Carrie
