Hi Ladies!
I am Georgette, mama to 4 amazing blessings. I just found HOD a few days ago from my sweet friend Mama Mary. Thank you Mary!!
I am so hooked! I can't wait to order. I plan on buying LHTH for my ds4. It looks so fun!
Then I was thinking of getting Preparing for my 2 older girls. They will be 8 & 11 in Sept. & Oct. My dilemma is I wanted to do Bigger first but I am doing AS1(American Story) from WP right now. In Bigger I would only be covering new material at unit 20. Anyone out there think it is still worth it to do? Especially since I haven't covered the civil war & immigration & such yet. AHH so many decisions! Mary, if you read this what are your thoughts?
I am looking forward to using HOD & getting to know everone!

Bless you all!

Oh GEORGETTE! I am SO glad your here my friend! I definitely think you could do bigger because it does a different take on american hx..., it is biographical!

Have you taken the placement test? That has been very accurate. I'm so excited that your here!

Hi Georgette,


WELCOME!

Welcome to the boards!

Gina

Hi Georgette!
It is great to have you here! Kimber

WELCOME

So glad to have you here! Any friend of Mary's....

I agree with Mary, Bigger will be a different approach to Am. history, so I don't think it would get to redundant. How much of HOD do you plan to use?? Reading, language arts, math??? I would look at those placements as well. Also remember that it is easier to gear toward your younger and beef up for your older.

Welcome!!!

Welcome from another newbie!

Welcome Georgette! Because you are Mary's friend we love you already! I wish I could answer your question but I am not familiar with WP but I will tell you we love Bigger! But don't worry all the programs are great! you can't go wrong. It's like picking between candy and chocolate.

Welcome Mary's Friend!
BTW- I love your login name!

Welcome Georgette!

Well Hulllooooo, Georgette!

We just started LHTH this week with my daughter and she loves it, as do her friends I babysit! You should see 3 preschoolers, one toddler, and a baby all dancing around when the music comes on or we are reading our Bible story and they are all clambering to get into my lap.

Good luck to you Georgette! Your name makes me think of a southern belle. Am I close?

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I am SOOOO excited to start! I just got my catalog in the mail. I love it!!

I am from Long Island, NY. So, no southern belle here! But I am a real country girl at heart as I spent all my childhood summers up in the Catskill Mts.

Blessings,

Georgette,

I just wanted to welcome you too! The ladies are so wonderful about helping with placement questions, so once you've taken a look at the placement chart, let us know what you're thinking. We'll jump right in to help you talk through your options!

Just wanted to chime in and say hi. I made a long post last week to say hello and I can't find it...

Anyway....

Blessings from another HOD Mommy!
