I will be doing Bigger w/ dd for grade 2. We just received our shipment on Sat. and I have to say, after reviewing the lessons, I feel a huge weight lifted from my shoulders already. I just love how everything is laid out for each day of the week. I feel so much more organized already.
Since reviewing the lessons in Bigger I also went ahead and ordered DITHOR. I had planned on using my own program for reading, but this seems to fit so well - can't wait to recieve it.
We will be wrapping up 1st grade this week, then dd will have 3 weeks off and we will begin our new school year on June 16th - can't wait to get started - I think dd is going to love this!

Welcome to HOD!

I'm going to be starting Bigger and DITHOR with my oldest this year, too. I'm so excited about it, too! Have you looked at the weekly check-in posts? I absolutely love to read about what everyone is doing and learning...especially the ones about Bigger.

Welcome! I know exactly how you feel! We LOVE HOD! I just wish it had been in existence when I started homeschooling 11 years ago. (wishful smile) But it's never too late! Though I have a sophmore who will never get to use it. I have three others who will!

I can't wait to hear all about your first week, June 16th!

Welcome to the board! We're just finishing BHFHG, and you are going to have such a great year with it! I know what you mean about a "weight" being lifted when you see the HOD guide. That's the way I feel too. I posted quite a few weekly check-ins on Bigger..., so if you want a sneak peek into the year and have a moment, that may be fun to see. Be sure and let us celebrate your beginning Bigger... with you by posting about it here!

In Christ,
Julie

momto2grls,

I'm so glad that "Bigger..." has lifted a weight off of your shoulders! This is what we intend it to do - so you can enjoy your school day!

We pray you will have a blessed school year. Thanks for sharing.

Blessings,
Carrie

Thank you for all of the warm welcomes!

It is so refreshing to have found HOD after all of the sifting through of curriculum we have done over the past 2 yrs.
The boards here at HOD have such a family feel to them, I'm sure I will be vistiting and posting more often once we get started with Bigger!
