Our family is new to HOD this year. We started school today, our 7 year old son in Beyond Little Hearts and our 10 year old son in Res. to Ref. We moved a week ago and I didn't get a chance to preview everything like I would have liked to, so I'm still sorting out a few things!

For day two's Lang. Arts lesson in Res. to Ref, the lesson is "Following the Plan: Lesson 59". Can anyone tell me why this starts with lesson 59? Doesn't seem to make any sense! Thanks!

That is the Rod and Staff English Level 5 book. HOD schedules grammar half speed in CtC and RtR. So, most students do half a level in CtC (Level 4 or 5) and half a level in RtR. If you haven't done Rod and Staff English before, you can start at the beginning, just doing 1 lesson each day it is scheduled in RtR. The goal is to complete LEvel 6 by the end of MtMM/8th grade, so you have time. You may find Level 4 is a better level as well, as most use it for 5th and 6th grades. Others use it for 4th and 5th.

I assumed that was the case. Thanks for the clarification!
