Scheduling help - 2 in RTR; 1 in Bigger

Post by 4kidsin6years » Thu Jan 02, 2014 5:48 pm

I have been using HOD for about 4 years now and LOVE it! Next week I will be starting RTR with 2 kids (a boy & a girl so I will have to do the devotion stuff separately) and Bigger with my youngest. As I'm looking the guides over and the approximate times of each of the boxes, I think I'm figuring out that they will need me a combined total of about 5.75 hours. I would love to gain any advice about scheduling and navigating these two guides specifically. TIA!

Blessings!

A lot of Res to Ref is independent work, so I wouldn't think they would need you a whole lot. Your child in Bigger will require more of your time, of course. In the beginning, your olders will need instruction, but only until they get into the routine of Res to Ref. I have two in it and they barely need me. Sometimes they even do the subjects together (art, independent history, projects).
