This is the first year I've used Heart of Dakota as a complete curriculum with my oldest. I adapt a little (that's what homeschooling is all about for me, being able to individualize!), but I'm following the guide more than I ever have.

Yesterday I was looking over the plans for today, and my dd walked past and said in a pleasant voice, "What are we doing for school tomorrow?"

She wanted to know.

In the past when she's seen me working on lesson plans, she's had a glare or a sceptical look. And never ever has she asked what we were going to do. She didn't want to know!

I can't say that she's jumping up and down with excitement, but she doesn't hate school.
I am jumping up and down. This is such a nice change!

That's wonderful!!

I am very happy for you. Here's to hoping it continues.

How exciting!!

Today dd was NOT happy about copying a section from one of the books. She does NOT like to write or copy. But she managed to do it.
In the afternoon she was NOT happy about her reading assignments but when she had finished them she came to me and told me how much she likes one of the books and that it's a "fun book." She really likes the way everything is set in the same time period.

I am very happy for you that things are going so well and that your daughter is enjoying learning with HOD
