Re: Love Love Love the New Visual History Bookmark Set for Beyond!

I think the Visual History Bookmarks are so beautiful too! So vibrantly colored, and the oral questions further bring to life the history so well! The Picture Clues is such a good activity as well - very fun, and yet teaches kiddos to draw their attention to the lovely illustrations and the 'story' ...

Re: Roll Call 2023/2024?

Well, I am very late to this Roll Call, but I still enjoyed reading this thread immensely! I am down to ONE. How did that happen?!? Emmett is an 11th grader and is currently (as in today) on US1's Unit 8, Day 3. We are really especially enjoying our time together going through the American Lit follo...

Re: Paint with the Poets Review - 5 Stars!

Oh, this was such fun to read, Jaime! Carrie and Shaw worked so hard on Paint Like a Poet, and I just wish I could be doing it with my own kiddos (down to one who is in 11th grade now). I think it would have really helped them as well. Happy painting!

In Christ,

Re: Sensitive Topic - Is the Bible Infallible

In our curriculum, we teach children to do directly to their own Bible. We do not teach theology as we feel that is the right of the parent to teach. When referencing the Bible, Carrie always lists the Scripture verse so that you can use your own family Bible. Our goal is to get our children saturat...

Re: Encouraging Independence in Beyond/Bigger

What a great idea! So glad you are seeing success with your little one taking on some independence in prep for Bigger Hearts - congratulations!!! I especially loved hearing about your son setting up his 'farm' with 'barn cats' - too precious! Thanks so much for sharing here!

In Christ,
Julie

Re: New Catalog

I have been paging through mine and loving it as well! I love the cover and the bigger-sized fonts, as well as the baskets matching the online baskets! It has been fun to look through all the new, amazing things being offered too. This was a major undertaking - a true family project for all of us, t...

Well, you have a good independent worker and reader in your daughter - wonderful! Just wanting to explain Carrie's intentions for this box of plans. A Child's Geography Volume II is scheduled to be read aloud by the parent in CTC for several reasons. First, it is one of the only readings the parent ...

Re: Combine 4th and 7th grader in Preparing?

Hello Mumkins! Good to hear from you - and thank you for sharing about your son! The ladies are doing a wonderful job of talking through options with you. When you look at the placement chart, what is the highest guide your 7th grader could place quite well in (considering the first page is most imp...

Re: Family Learning vs Individual

I really enjoyed reading both responses to your questions here! They just show - each family is different! Even if two families have the same number of children who are the same exact ages, HOD placement can be very different. Not to mention each stage in life is very different! Placement in HOD can...
