Bigger HFHG question on Independent work
Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2017 8:54 pm
I have an 8 yr old daughter going through Bigger HFHG this year. She is a very motivated child. She wants to do school and was wanting me to let her do more independent work. I am thinking this is a good thing, but also not sure if I should "be there" more. So today we tried and I let her do the Reading About History, Poetry, Bible Study, Corresponding Music and read the book from the DIHOR all without me today. I did ask her to give me a summary of History and I was again happily surprised that she wrote me an 8 sentence summary full of great details she read. I am thinking wow this is nice. It gives me more time for the other 2 guide I am taking my 6yr old through LHFHG and my 4 yr old through LHTH. My QUESTION is this guide not written for any independent work, so I didn't know if there was a reason for this? Or if you think this is ok? I was kinda wondering maybe I should have had her in the next guide up but at the beginning of the year we were still finishing up the emerging readers and then around Nov its like reading has taken off and she is reading everything. I hope this doesn't seem like a duh question. She is my oldest so this is all new to me. Any thoughts I would love. Thank you.
