We love Preparing!

Post by gmhaynes » Wed Sep 05, 2012 5:26 am

Just wanted to share that this is our first year going through Preparing and I am LOVING it! I have shown some other people our schedule and they comment that there is SO MUCH History. However, I think Carrie has found just the right mix of fun and learning! There is such a great combination of hands on, fun activities with more intensive subjects that my daughter is really thriving. I go back and forth between activities that are teacher intensive and then independent and it works so well!
It's really refreshing coming off of Bigger which I thought was really a tough year of training for her. Now on the other end I can really see how it prepared her for this year and being a more independent learner. The guides just keep getting better each year!

Carrie, a huge thank you for all the time and energy you put into these guides. I couldn't do this without HOD!

Love in Christ,

We really loved Preparing as well. I think it might be my favorite guide so far, but it's so hard to choose. :D

We are on week 8 in preparing and love it! I think it's my favorite guide so far. I have done all of them up to Preparing. My kids love the book choices. I love the way it has encouraged independence. We all loved reading Tirzah! It was a favorite.

It's probably been my favorite guide so far, but Beyond is precious too. They're all good!
