to Julie and all the ladies who have been so very patient and kind in answering my questions and helping to think through my concerns. It has been wonderful advice and has helped lead me to our decision as to how to place our DD 4.5 in the coming year.I think I will be following Julie's original advice and will drive on with LHTH through the summer and then in fall (when she's 5.5 yo) we will start LHFHG for her officially. I'd really like to keep doing the guides as written but these are the options I've come up with:
1.) Make Little Hearts span 2 years and cover her for kindergarten and 1st grade. That would put her entering Beyond about 7.5.
2.) Do Little Hearts for one year as written in the guide like I am doing for DS (kindy math and science, 1st grade Thinking Skills) and then move her to Beyond at age 6.5 and either do that as written or slow it to 1/2 speed depending on where she is when we cross that bridge.
If we go with option #1 and span Little Hearts for 2 years, do we do left side every other day and then right side everyday so that K is covered the first year and 1st is covered the second year? Then does that mean we would be doing the 1a/1b math from the Beyond guide the second year of LHFHG? And how would the Storytime work in that scenerio? Sorry I'm still so confused about this!
A million thank yous!
