HI Pam! So, are you doing any beefing up for high school credit or is your daughter in the guide range? I am looking forward to starting next year. As for my son, yes. He is going to ps after next year...if the one we are looking at doesn't close. He would have the opportunity to graduate high schoo...

Sick again...UGH!! But, able to complete another unit of school. So thankful!

Just placed my order!! YIPPEE!!! Am excitedly awaiting MTMM and prickly with excitement (and anxiety :oops: ) to be starting son's first high school year in the fall. Also sad, as it will be his last year at home. :cry: God is so good - He gave my oldest ds a scholarship for books again this year. :...

I would have been doing a VERY happy dance if my ds had been doing written narrations like that when he was 9!! It looks great.

My ds preferred Sarah Witcher's Story, but they are both great options!

I, don't know the right answer to your questions, but just wanted to chime in because we are loving LHFHG, also! For math, we do all of the activities that are scheduled and then I (not currently using Singapore because I already had something) find the pages in the math book that link to what HOD i...

Our week for Rev to Rev & LHFHG:

We LOVE Heart of Dakota!! So thankful for the well-thought plans that have Christ as the foundation - and that make school possible even when the flu finds us.

Love reading about the other HOD families! Julie...you make me want to jump right into MTMM with my son. But, guess we will finish what we have first!

We are doing Rev to Rev and I do read the storytime books aloud to my 13 yo ds. His time with me grows short and I am so thankful for the discussions we share over the books - and they are all GREAT books. He gets plenty of reading on his own through the history, extensions & DITHOR. I could not ima...

Carrie & Rebecca, Thank you for answering. I thought that was what I needed, but just wanted to make sure before I figure out my final order. Yes, Rebecca, I know that the student is supposed to move towards independence in the Storytime box, but we have opted not to do this completely. We read the ...

So, if I want to use MTMM for a 9th grader, I do NOT order the basic package? Instead I order the EXTENSIONS? And then, I will not complete the Storytime box with him ? Help? Anyone?

Thanks!

Carin,
That is what I have always done...but it did not occur to me to ask this question. So, I maybe I have done this incorrectly all along!

We are in the same boat & I am wondering the same things. Hoping someone answers!!

Also, thanks for sharing your tentative plan...it is helping me think more clearly through mine!

Heather,
From what I have read, I believe you are correct. We are currently completing R&S 7 over two years and then will complete R&S 8 in the following year. From what I've seen, it is more than sufficient to have a thorough understanding of English grammar. HTH!

We did use the Shakespeare study. I wanted my son to be exposed to Shakespeare before he reads plays. I can't exactly remember what the notebooking pages entailed, but I do remember that their were scenes to color. My ds HATED coloring them, but he liked to look at the pictures. I think he also copi...
