You have almost 2 years to trade in the old LHFHG for a new one with the new workbooks and math activities. They will pay for shipping back to them and you can get the new guide for 50% off. Oh, that's if you bought it new from them in the first place. :) Pretty sweet deal. Two years from when I bo...

We are starting Preparing this year..... Another thing to consider since they are already "in school" and you don't want to get them bogged down is assigning reading books from Preparing (the books look awesome!) doing a read-aloud (even the History/science books) every evening as a family, and mayb...

Thanks! I may just email them when I place my order but I think it is just a couple of pages so it won't make much difference. I found the EarlyBird Math with a few pages done (we started with something else) so the guide I have will work with K Math. I'll have to buy 1st grade math. I have Handwrit...

I see that the 1st grade Thinking Skills workbook is not available anymore. Is there a substitute guide for the new work books? Getting ready to do round 2 of LHFHG

Thanks!
Misty

Thank you Lynn & Julie!

They could probably do CtC but I don't want to stretch the switch too much! DD #2 (4th grade) is quicker at school than DD #1 so Preparing will probably work out fine for us.

We started homeschooling with HOD with LHFHG and then moved on to BLHFHG....then life happened....We had twins born and I went back to work full-time as a RN. After weighing out our options we continued homeschooling but with a more traditional, independent method. My girls have done well with it an...

I noticed that the 1st grade workbooks for LHFHG have changed. Is there a substitute guide for the new ones or do we just do xx amount of pages??

Excited about using it for round 2 this time with DD #3 & #4! (Round 3 will be in 3 more years with our twins! )

Thanks!
Misty

Thanks for the replies. I work full-time, 3 nights a week at the hospital. DH currently works from home and watches the kids while I sleep. We are hoping that I can cut back at work one of these days, It has been difficult on our family these past 2 years. My oldest 2 will be 9 & 10 next year. They ...

We used HOD for our first two years of homeschooling (LH & BLH) unfortunately then I had to go back to work full-time. We have 6 children, ages 9 to 2 old year old twins. My oldest 2 have done Teaching Textbooks for Math which has been working great. They have done Appologia Science pretty independe...

Good to know! I am wanting to start Latin sometime too.... I definitely need "non-teacher intensive" as much as possible!

Thanks! I'm not ordering for awhile but trying to get it planned out now.....

I am planning for next year (though at the moment I would love to send them all off to school!....I do have 7 week old twins here too :D ) We will be using Bigger for 2nd & 3rd grade. This last year I got the Bigger guide to use for DD #1's 2nd grade math; however, we didn't use it all the time. She...

Thanks Patty! I definitely have my hands full At the moment I am ready to send the middle 2 to preschool some where!

We have been doing HOD for 2 years now with my oldest 2, we started with LHFHG for K & 1st, and are now doing Beyond for 1st & 2nd. I plan on using Bigger next year with them. NOW the next two :D DD #3 will be 5 in August. She is DYING to do school! We have done some of LHTH, she loves doing workboo...

My DD struggled there too. I got a couple of early readers from the library and we also had another Amelia Bedelia book that I had her read. After 2-3 weeks so read Buffalo Bill easily She flew through the Science Reader and is now on Tornado I was very glad we had waited.....
