my2beauties,
I'll move your post over to the Main Board where more moms will see it! All new posts begin on the Main Board.
In answer to your question, your little one will not use Thinking Skills or the Grade 1 science text when moving from LHFHG to Beyond, if she didn't use them in LHFHG. This is because the K and 1st grade texts for science are very similar, so there's no need to do both. Also, the goal of the fine motor skills books is mainly to build your little honey's fine motor skills and both books do the trick.
In Beyond, we ramp up to higher level fine motor skills through copywork of poetry and more fine motor oriented hands-on activities. The skills within the Thinking Skills book are covered throughout the many activities in the guide, with some showing up in math and grammar too, so you won't be missing out on those.
Blessings,
Carrie
