List of Books Used in Each Unit?

Post by Tana in FL » Fri Jul 25, 2008 2:46 pm

Hello, lovely HOD board!

Our LHFHG, BHFHG and DITHOR arrived today! YAY! :) Does anyone have a list of the books used in each unit? I am buying the books as we go and need to purchase the first 6 weeks or so to get us going. I thought I would ask here before I spend the weekend compiling a list. If a list doesn't already exist, I'll be sure to keep it handy after I make it for anyone else who might need it.

Thanks for any help! :)

Tana I have not done this but it should be pretty easy to do. You will find some of this done for you. The Appendix in LHFHG has extra books if you want those scheduled by unit but those are optional, you would need the devotional, the Bible reader (or Bible if you are going straight from the Word), the Science and Reddy Fox for the first six weeks of story time. You would also need the music as well. It all moves slowly but thoughtfully through so there is not a lot of skipping around. Of course you need phonics, handwriting and math now too. If you are doing the Emerging readers you need the Early Reading Bible or one of the others she suggests for the first 9 units. Double check me but I think that would set you up for LHFHG. For Bigger the first six weeks you need A First Book In American History, and Journey in Time, Stories of Great Americans one small square in the Sea Shore and Science in Colonial America, you would need both the adventure genre and the biography genre book, the devotional and hymns Then you need all your LA and Math. And for DITHR it depends on how you schedule it but if you go 15-20 days per genre you can figure it out that way. You would then need all the actual manuals and the one student book for DITHR. If you are doing the extension pack in Bigger you need A Child's Story of America, Pedro's Journal, Pocahontas and the Stranger, Almost home and the science Exploring Planet Earth. (that is all in the appendix you can see how it is scheduled and double check me there).

Please double check my yourself by looking in the actual teacher manual but that just took me a couple of minutes of flipping and the pace that I can type it. It's all laid out very well. :D And you will see some of the boxes use the same resources. HTH a bit. :D (disclaimer is this was a quick look for me but I think I got it all. :wink: )

Enjoy it!

Wow! You are awesome! Thank you so much for doing that for me. :) I have sat down and flipped through and was kind of surprised that so few resources are needed. I thought for sure I must have been missing something. I'm used to WP and SL where there are a ton each day. This is going to be so much fun!! :) I'll be sure to double check the TM. Thank you again!!!

But please double check me though :wink: The thing I called science in LHFHG is actually History for Little Pilgrims. Sorry that was confusing. In my head it covers some creation things so for some reason it translated there for me. But it is really the History box. I think I mentioned but if not you do need the Hide 'em in Your Heart CD.

You are going to find it is very simple and easy to follow yet it still has the depth you are looking for. It goes deeper with less rather than throwing more and skimming it all. You'll love it! :D
