Hello Ladies,
Grace and peace to each one of you. I am thrilled beyond words that I will be ordering HOD for our school beginning in the "summer" (it's always summer here, so we'll start the new school year in July ). In order to do that, I need to order soon! YAY!!!

I will be doing CTC for my ds 5th and dd 4th and Beyond with my 2nd grade ds, and then LHFHG with 4yo twins.

So I am wondering if you can help me out. I need ideas of what supplies are needed for the crafts, hands-on projects, etc. Even things as simple as playdough, things you might take for granted, feel free to mention! There is no Wal-Mart or craft store I can run to, so I need to order an "extra" things now so I will have them ready in July. For CTC, I will be ordering an "experiment kit" for the Apologia science, even though I know not all the experiments are included in CTC, I figured I'd rather have extras than not enough!

So I'll start the list:
playdough
construction paper
glue


I feel such peace and excitement about this next school year with HOD, something I have not felt in a while. The Lord really did lead me here, and I am so grateful! Now, the hard thing is trying to maintain enthusiasm to finish this school year without HOD!

Thank you ever so much!

From the introduction in CTC-this is a list of what you will need for the poetry lessons:
Needed paint supplies include the following items:
*2 unbreakable water containers (plastic margarine containers would be fine)
*white plastic palette with wells for paint, a mixing surface, and if possible a lid
(rectangular palettes with a large mixing surface in the center work well)
*watercolor paper (140 lb. cold press paper is recommended)
*2 different-sized round watercolor brushes (#5 and #8 red sable brushes are
recommended, however you may use different numbered brushes or types)
*2 different-sized flat watercolor brushes (1/2” and 1” Loew Cornell brushes are
recommended, however you may use different sized brushes and types)
*2 cellulose sponges (those in the house-cleaning or automotive section work well,
as long as they have pores for stamping paint on paper)
*toothpicks
*paper towels
*dropper
*masking tape
*watercolor paints: Either choose tube paints or moist cakes/pans. Moist cakes/
pans are often used by beginning watercolorists. Choose either student grade or
artist grade paints. If finances allow, artist grade paints are better, but student
grade paints are acceptable.
The following paint colors will either need to be purchased or mixed from other
paint colors to complete the lessons. If you are buying paints within a set, use the
general color list below. If you prefer to purchase individual colors, rather than a
set, some suggestions for specific shades are listed behind each color, however
these specific shades are not required.
Yellow (Cadmium Yellow Light)
Red (Alizarin Crimson or Cadmium Red Medium)
Blue (Cerulean Blue or Ultramarine Blue)
Pink or Rose (Permanent Rose)
Light Blue (Sky Blue or Cobalt Teal Blue)
Green (Hooker’s Green Dark)
Light Green (Phthalo Green)
Orange (Cadmium Yellow Medium or Cadmium Orange)
Purple (Ultramarine Violet or Quinacridone Violet)
Brown (Burnt Umber)
Gray (Payne’s Gray)
White
Black
Tan or Peach (Raw Sienna)
Note: Miller Pads and Paper at www.millerpadsandpaper.com or by phone:
(608)-375-2181 has excellent pricing on paint supplies, or you may shop at your
local craft store

I realize you probably don't have a "local craft store", but I just copied and pasted. You can see the rest of the introduction here:

where you can read through and see what else you need for the other subjects.

Thanks! That is a great list!
Oh, and I messed up the acronyms on my above post. I will be using LHTH with my 4yos, not LHFHG!

Blessings,
Joy

How exciting to be to the stocking up on supplies stage, Joy! I like to read through the "Introduction" part of the guides I'm using at the start of each year, and jot in the margins any special things I may need, as some special supplies depend on how you want to do things. That has helped me, so once you get your hands on the guides, that may help you with making your list too. Here are a few past posts that may be helpful:

I'm excited for you to begin HOD! Also, could you please send some of that year round summer my way - we have a blizzard here today, and summer sounds quite nice!
In Christ,
Julie
