When were extensions added to Bigger?

Post by SMiles » Sat Jan 28, 2012 9:18 pm

We are trying to figure out if Bigger always had extensions or if they were added at a later date. If so, what year?

Thanks for your help. I did a search and looked on the updates page, but couldn't find the information.

Blessings,
Sherry :D

I believe Bigger had extensions available since the year it came out-if I remember right, I was among those who used it that year :)

Yes, the extensions have always been a part of BHFHG, from its very first edition. HTH! :D

Thanks a lot.

As you can see we are past that stage, but I was trying to show some of our co-workers on the mission field how HOD can work for multiple grades.

How thoughtful of you to do this, Sherry! :D This is how the Lord is spreading the word about HOD. If you would like some free catalogs to show your friends, and give them their own catalog, you can click on the "Order catalog" link at the bottom right of the homepage...

You can just jot a note to Mike with the quantity you'd need, and he's great about sending them. :D Great idea to show your co-workers, may the Lord help them on their homeschooling journey as is fitting to His good and perfect plan!

Thanks, Julie!

Mike has actually sent me catalogs before and I have been able to share them around with my co-workers. I think that, at the beginning, a catalog is much easier to navigate than the website. It gives folks time to mull over and flip around as they ponder the best placement for their children. I keep one on my desk and refer to it quite often myself.

Something I love about HOD is that the books are not going to change every year. This makes it so much easier to track what the kids are working on and also so much fun to show the kids what they will be using in the near future. My ds has been known to wander off with a copy of the catalog and read all the descriptions. He loves reading and HOD is a great fit for him.

Blessings,
