New Here/I am SO EXCITED!

Post by Heidi in AK » Tue Jan 11, 2011 10:50 pm

Hi mamas! I have been lurking for several months, researching other curricula, and even other CM-based curricula. We came to this as a family after my hubby encouraged me to satisfy my curiosity and purchase LHTH for my DS. I have since bought LHTH for DS20mos and LHFHG for my DD4.5. I work right now as a Christian schoolteacher, but know that this is temporary, and still feel the desire to supplement my children's edification with Scripture and Christian worldview objectives.

I just am so excited. Thanks everyone for feedback on how to start with DD. She's not quite 5, but skill-wise I think she ties in better with LHFHG. We'll jump to LHTH if it seems too much, or just do the right side for a while till she is able to do it all. Probably half-speed for K and then once again for 1st.

DS will just love it. The other curriculum I was pondering was heavy on reading, light on hands-on activities. One thing that sold me on this is that Carrie has four boys, so I know she understands how to work with bursting, boisterous joy-filled boys!!!

Heidi - you sound like me - a former teacher turned homeschooling mom, who was convinced of it more and more over time! :D Welcome, and I think you will enjoy homeschooling your sweeties so much! LHTH and LHFHG are such a joy to teach, and you are so right, I'm thankful Carrie knows boys too, as I have 3 of my own. :D Looking forward to getting to know you!

In Christ,

I have 4 boys so it encourages me that Carrie has boys too. They love it and I am comforted that she has already paved the way.

Hi Heidi!
Welcome to the boards! We started LHFHG half speed when my son was 4 1/2 and he did great with it. We just bumped up to full speed and are excited about starting Beyond in the fall. You are going to love HOD!
