I'm only on unit 9 in Bigger! We have had so many distractions and days that just didn't happen! It's been somewhat of a rough school year for us.

And I would have been completely ok with that!

I thought about this, and it would be very easy to do lapbooking. Instead of putting all your vocabulary words for Bigger in a notecard box, you could staple them onto a section in your lapbook - and do the same with all the artwork that you make. You'd be doing the same work, just storing it differ...

Testing has been helpful to me. Even though I'm with my daughter every day for school, it was good for me to get affirmation of what her strengths and weaknesses are. I had her take the Woodcock-Johnson test this past year, which was even more helpful, because the person giving the test could give m...

Does anyone else go to the main page and look at the books for upcoming years over and over? Is that just me? I can't wait to get into some of those books for Preparing! I LOVE living books!!! I love having a guide to show me how to use living books! I think I may be having more fun that my daughter...

I'm guessing I can put here that I wasn't "invited" (it's not a bad thing... seriously ;) ) to the last curriculum discussion in our homeschool group because there were no new moms there and they all knew what I'd be showing! :) And they knew that I wouldn't be needing anything anyone else was show...

It's very easy to substitute your own things for Math and Language Arts. You would just skip those boxes in the manual. Everything else still ties together very, very well.

Boy, do we love those! Adventures in Odyssey (there are hundreds) The Little Princess Little House on the Prairie The Chronicles of Narnia (if you have children that don't scare very easily) Focus on the Family has wonderful radio theaters! We have Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, and The Secret ...

It was explained to me. When I put it in my laptop, track 4 is labeled, 'Old Rugged Cross' but it's actually 'Oh for a Thousand Tongues.' I don't know why it has the wrong title on the menu.

My girls love calendar time! I put a monthly calendar in a binder for each of my girls, and we go over it each day together. I also put a sheet for the days we've been in school (for my sake more than there's) and a weather chart, just for fun. I also laminated my Bigger book and each week, my older...

From what I've hear so far, The Old Rugged Cross isn't featured on the cd at all! I'll go through the whole thing when I'm not elbow deep organizing my girls' room and listen to the whole thing. Thank you for responding!

I have to say though, that it's a tough spot to be in to have such a good solid curriculum that you really feel bad for not NEEDING to do all that extra stuff that looks neat :lol: My dh rolls his eyes at me any time I mention something looking like a fun unit study and then I check to see if we'll...

Carrie, are they all this way? I ordered it from HOD at the beginning of the school year. I wonder if some in the stock should be checked, though I don't know how that would solve this problem, since it looks like they're no longer being distributed.

This would be for Unit 4. I looked it up on netflix and some are saying that the stereotyping is awful. I haven't seen it, so I can't say either way. I added it to our queue though.

I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but our cd for Hymns for a Kids' Heart lists 'Oh for a Thousand Tongues to Sing' as 'The Old Rugged Cross'. Also, for some reason, I don't have only 12 tracks instead of 13. 'The Old Rugged Cross' isn't on my cd at all. I tried to find an email address s...
