Anyone do Bigger on a 4 day week?

Post by anointedhsmom » Sat Aug 30, 2008 1:05 pm

We are starting Bigger next week and we school year around and do 4 days a week. If I do 4 days a week and just follow the lesson plans will it mess us up do you think? Anything I'm not thinking of with this set up?

Thanks for any advice,

You should be fine doing Bigger... just 4 days a week. I believe Carrie has said doing that will leave 9 weeks to complete at the beginning of the next year, but if you school year round then you could finish over the summer. It is quite easy to pick the guide back up for day 5 after a day or even a weekend off, so I wouldn't worry. :wink:

Paige,

This is what I'm doing for now. We started August 4, and it's working out just fine. I love how flexible HOD is! :D I'm glad that the days aren't labeled Mon, Tues, Wed, etc though because that may make me feel like I was off. :roll: It works great to just pick up the guide and do the next day whatever day that happens to be. Enjoy!

:D Kathleen

We are doing Bigger this year on a "four day" week...
However, for part of the year my husband works six days a week- so we will school Mon-Thurs. and then Sat. as well... (I think- this is all new so don't hold me to it!)...
Because "this is all new" I don't have any advice... but glad to be doing Bigger with you ladies! :D

We are going to. We got started with it last year and will finish it this year on a 4 day schedule. We will be doing school on a 5 day week but our 5th day is for other things. I think it will be great. :D

We did LHFHG and Beyond that way with my second son! No problems at all!

Blessings,
Carrie :D
