Another "School Year" Started
Posted: Wed May 05, 2021 12:29 pm
We started school up again after 3 weeks of only doing math and dictation on Monday. I now have four gudies going almost fully!
My oldest is starting WG. We are doing it mostly as written, with three substitutions (math, foreign language, and Bible). Some things she is grumbling about, but so far half speed seems to be easy for her!
My second is continuing in RtR. Like my oldest, he is going it mostly as written with a few substitutions (math, writing, and Bible). Since he is more than half way through, half speed is definitely easy for him!
My third is starting CtC. She has the same substittutions as my second (they are actually doing the same writing to save me some teaching time!). She is loving the independence, but I think it will take her a little to adjust to the geography (which has always been a struggle for her!).
And my youngest is starting LHFHG. We are doing the left page and storytime as written. For the right side, we will be starting TRL by the end of summer it appears. And he is using something else for math and handwriting/FMS, although we do own the R&S workbooks. He just doesn't like them, so I am giving him other options. Since we are planning on LHFHG-Bigger to take at least 3.5 years, he might still do ARFH and the R&S books. He is actually begging for the actual LHFHG portions of the day. He is so sad we are only doing half days this month. I might actually speed him up next week, as he is so eager to do those boxes.
I am sad that this is likely to be our last time through LHFHG! We found HOD almost 8 years ago, when my oldest was ready to start this guide. And we have fallen in love with HOD over the years. It is also a weird feeling to have one starting high school and one starting formal school. It is like the end of an era on two fronts!
