CTC-4 weeks in and wonder if I mis-placed my child

Hi! We have done HOD on and off through the years. I came back this January and really hope I never leave. I love it!!! But...I have a question regarding my 8th grader I put in CTC. I did this based on the placement chart and his lack of a lot of grammar + I wanted him to get that ancients/old testa...

WH Spanish help/adjustments

Hi! It's been a while since I've been on the forums. I have a son starting WH, but he did not go through WG (we did a classical community last year and he did Visual Latin as a foreign language). Today (yes, January 20th) is our first official day starting back to school for a "new year". I ordered ...

How does HOD present/teach philosophy

I am trying to pick what I will use for my 9th grader this fall. He used the Bigger and Beyond guides and I have since pieced my own books together for him. I'm ready to go back to a planned curriculum. All of HOD's goals line up with mine. In looking at Cathy Duffy's Top 100 book there are some fas...

Re: To combine or not to combine...that is the question

We have dc ages 10, 6, and 2, and we do not combine for anything at this time. This year, I am doing CTC, Beyond, and LHTH. It is a perfect fit for our family. I think combining works well in many situations for many reasons, but for us it works well not to combine. Our dc are all between 3 and 4 y...

Re: Encouragement for those with struggling or hesistant rea

Another thanks to the op! I am in this boat with one of my dc. My ds is 10 and we tried every phonics program known to the hs world!

Re: Many kids to teach = Many guides??? Please help!

Placement is sooo important. If you would share where each of your children places on the placement chart that would really help everyone give the best advice. I want to encourage you that multiple guides is possible, I run 4 and am done teaching by Noon. (We start at 8am) Looking forward to readin...

Many kids to teach = Many guides??? Please help!

I have 6 kids ages 1, 3, 6, 8, 10 and 12. We have always homeschooled. After years of piecing together and combing curriculum (SL, HOD, TOG, etC. etc. ETC!!!!), I am fully convicted I need to stop over-supplimenting and stick with only HOD. Although I love the HOD guides, selections, etc. I've been ...

Suggestions for family devotions

Approaching the new school year, I need suggestions for our family devotions at breakfast. Only the best please! I'm sure you all know a lot :D

Re: Why did I let this sit on my shelf for so long!

I too have had DITHOR on the shelf for months and have not used.

I bought some Progeny Press lit guides for this summer, but which I had gotten out my DITHOR and saved $$$. :(
