Re: Going back and doing a missed guide? From Bigger to Beyo

You can totally combine your kids of that age in Bigger, but for my particular kids it isn't working out long term. I really love the idea of being at the upper age range of the guide.

Re: Going back and doing a missed guide? From Bigger to Beyo

Thank you ladies for your help :) I love HOD so much, and I really don't want to set it aside. I know for sure I don't want to head into Preparing.

Re: Another testimony for HOD

I love that! My boys are loving school too. My oldest who had been in PS until I brought him home in 4th said that he never wants to go to PS again. He said HS is so much more fun. HOD made learning so much fun this year :)

Going back and doing a missed guide? From Bigger to Beyond?

Hi there, I'm trying to figure out what to do with my soon to be 8 year old (September birthday) second grade son. This year I combined him when he was a 7 year old 1st grader with his 10 year old 4th grade brother. We have been doing Bigger together with extensions for my oldest. It has been an awe...

Re: Week in Review March 11-15

Our Unit 26 in Bigger :) It was so fun learning about Abraham Lincoln this week. I watched a documentary on Lincoln after our week. I was surprised at just how much we had covered in BHFHG was in the documentary. So awesome! http://www.monarchroom.com/2013/03/heart-of-dakota-bhfhg-week-26-in-review....

Re: Week-in-Review: March 4-8

We loved learning about The California Gold Rush this week. By The Great Horn Spoon is the perfect reader to read while we study this time period. The more we move forward through the guide I realize how much thought was put into each box. We love HOD so much :) BHFHG Unit 25: http://www.monarchroom...
