Re: Left-Handed child using spiral notebook?

I am a lefty! And honestly, even though the spiral on the left side is a bit annoying, I've gotten used to it. When we were in school, they didn't make them any other way so I just had to go with it. I think the suggestions about top spirals or loose leaf paper are great suggestions!

Re: Has anyone used Bigger with a 4th or 5th grader?

I will be using Bigger with my 2nd grade and 4th grade girls this fall. I was fortunate enough to attend a homeschool conference and Carrie was there! She was really helpful in guiding me towards the best curriculum level choice for my girls for HOD. I think a big part of the decision was the fact t...

Re: Can I get it all done? LHTH and BHFHG

Wow! Thanks for such a detailed description of your day! It sounds like it works really well! I will be implementing a lot of your ideas. :) We do have a schedule we go off of for the summer but I know that will change once we start school full time. I was wondering - do you have much time for activ...

Can I get it all done? LHTH and BHFHG

Hi all - this is my first post! I am sure someone out there has asked this question and I could comb through previous posts but I just haven't got the time! :) In the fall we'll be starting LHTH for my son who is in preK. And my two older DDs (7 and 9) will be starting BHFHG. This way of doing homes...
