We're doing Bigger too, with my 9 year old. I haven't started it yet, though. I'm still in denial that my summer vacation is over.

We started it about 7 weeks ago and are loving it. My daughter is 8 and just started 3rd grade. I've been writing weekly updates on our progress. You can see them all here. http://ourhomeschoolreviews.blogspot.co ... %20Wrap-Up

Thanks for sharing. I've read through the manual, but enjoyed "seeing" what we're going to do. :D

We are. I'm very excited! My daughter is almost 10 and my son is 7, so they'll be using it together & I've got the extension pack for my little girl. We won't start until the 15th (I'm waiting on some art supplies from Rainbow Resource to arrive).

Are any of you keeping blogs? I'd love to follow a blog specifically using Bigger :D

Started it Monday with my 9 y/o twins. So far we love it!!! I am going at slow speed to ease into it- basically just not doing science or R & S English yet. Very low key. We've had so much fun and we are finished everyone is in a great mood!!! My only prob is that we are going through our read-aloud book faster than the schedule! Hehe! The kids complained so much about a few of the Sonlight books we did last year and they love the HOD suggested reading so far.

We're doing Bigger as well with my 9 yo this year. We've started-fitting in a few days here and there as our schedule allows during this busy summer, so we're not very far, but I have to say that DD loves it! She's very excited about the Science and loving all the notebooking assignments. Very fun for both of us so far.

We will be using it, but not until later this fall. We have about 12 units left of Beyond to finish first. My DC will be 9 and 7.
