Enjoying the summer, but looking forward to more HOD!

I just have to say that, although I am enjoying our summer break, I often think about getting into our next guide - Bigger! It seems strange to be looking forward to school when there are so many fun things going on through July.
This is proof that HOD is such a wonderful curriculum. I have been learning so much myself and, although the three R's are a little on the harder side for dd, I know she has been learning and maturing through these guides. Don't want to rush the summer, but had to share my thoughts.
Thank you HOD for making school exciting!

Pam,
I couldn't agree more! Every summer, I think to myself "We should school year round! What do we need a break for?" I'm enjoying extra time to get house projects done but I am heading into Preparing in the fall and I am so excited I can't stand it! I am certain that HOD has a lot to do with our excitement about school. I see mom's who are NOT using it and dread the new year...

I couldn't do school year round. June and July are pretty busy. I did want to continue some math and reading, but I'm not getting very far.
I hope it is not too hard for dd to get back in the groove. August 6th is the target date for the beginning of our new school year.

This is us to a "t"! We are having a wonderfully fun summer, but I can't help but check the board and dream about when I get to order our books for next year! I am so thankful the Lord led us to HOD - I can't believe that next year will be our 4th year!

Me too! Summer in July and August here, but I've decided to start in August. We'll do 4 weeks of school with a one week break, plus July off. I've never tried it before, but, I really don't like having 2 months of unstructured time. And it keeps us from having to take a long break:)
