Doubting my plan before i even start
Posted: Wed Sep 30, 2009 8:59 pm
okay.. i asked about history storytimes in an earlier post. now i see that someone had a question about reading Pagoo to her 6 yr old.
my original plan was to have my oldest who is almost 6 and 2nd child 4.5 currently combine for the History side and do their own storytime. my daughter (the younger) for instance, would have storytimes and basics from LHFHG while doing the Beyond History with brother.This would be son's 1st grade and daughter's kindergarten if you were to put a grade on it.(this would be next fall in 2010)
Since in the later guides the storytimes tie into the history i thought maybe i should have her do the storytimes along with the History in the same guide. i didn't know if this would be pushing it. she would be 5.5 when starting the Beyond History and storytime if i did it this way.
or should i just keep her a storytime behind the histroy until i get to Preparing and then i will have to just skip the Bigger storytimes, since the preparing history is where she would be doing bigger storytimes only i wouldn't want to do that because the Preparing storytimes go with the Preparing histroy. then i could just do the Bigger storytimes at a later time if i wanted.
i just want to start off right with her. we have 3 more units in LHTH . i think she is getting excited to work alongside brother.i don't want them alwasy comparing thougth because my son does more of this and i don't want him thinking he is better than her .they are only 16 months apart.
Any opinions....maybe i am worrying over nothing.

ugh... i thought i had it planned.... ugh.. maybe i shouldn't be doubting.
She does seem to be interested in the Thornton Burgess books lately (Buster Bear). she used to rarely listen when i would read to her brother. that to me was an indication that maybe i could read the same storytime to them both.
i am amazed at how lately she is wanting to write words (asks me how to spell things)and and how she is starting to write her letters so well.

We are reading Squanto then most of the girls set and in one case I stuck something that was on my shelf in there. The sets are not mandatory they are just a help so that you do not have to decide what genre a book is and they are all good books. Check out he book store and you can see books by reading level and genre.
