Hi Cris :D Welcome to the group! I'm Amey, mom to three boys. I just finished our kindergarten year with my soon to be six year old and it went great. I will be using Little Hearts with him for 1st grade and his (soon to be 4) year old brother will tag along with us..listening to the reading, doing ...

I'm an Olive. For sure. I am married to a big o'l Betty! I always razz my hubby that he would be a great poltician..he literally shakes EVERY hand before he leaves a room, kisses babies..the whole shebang! This was too fun Mary!

We will be schooling year round as well. This year we took off a month when baby was born and another few weeks for our international move. We usually take a big chunk of December off and then we will be taking another month for furlough each year as we have to come back to the US to renew our visas...

This brought happy tears to my eyes! I LOVE IT! I love when I have my spiritual eyes open and recognize these moments. Not nearly enough do I notice when God is trying to show me His provision in these simple but meaningful ways. Thank you for sharing that, it blesses me!

Hey Gals! I've noticed we have alot of Texans here..(or maybe it just seems like it to me because I am one and I notice more! :lol: :lol: ) Anyway, it feels a little like home seeing all of you here as we are now living out of country. My husband is from Houston and I am from the DFW area although w...

Hi Katie! :!: I just wanted to welcome you too! I am a newbie as well and will be starting LHFHG with my first grader and letting my 4 year old tag along with some supplementary stuff. Sounds like our kiddos are the same age. Both of my boys have B-days in June, they will be six and four and then I ...

Hi All, I am starting LHFHG with my first grader and I know he will be ready for the emerging readers/schedule pretty soon. So, my question is; is there a way for me to get the emerging reader schedule without buying "Beyond"? We can't afford it right now, and I don't plan on buying "Beyond" until n...

Hi Teresa! :D Welcome! I am a newbie too...and I could have written your post! I have been pouring over the WP and MFW catalogues for the last month or so and then somehow I ended up checking out HOD and it just felt right immediately! So, I am waiting on my box! I will be doing LHFHG with my first ...

Can someone give me some guidelines for what would designate a child as an "emerging reader"? I will only have the LHFHG Guidebook and materials, but my (6 next mo.) son is already reading three and four letter words and sounding out others. Do I need to add some of these early reading books..or am ...

Thanks everyone! I'm glad to hear water2wine that someone else is using LHFHG with a 4 & 6 yr. old. That was my question precisely! :) I will not expect my 4 yr. to do everything we do, unless he wants to. He is easily satisfied with a hunk of playdough or some scissors and paper, but I know he will...

Hi All, My name is Amey. My husband and I serve as missionaries near Guadalajara Mexico. I have three boys; oldest will be six next month, middle will be four and then our baby boy is 5 months. We used Sonlight for Kindergarten, along with ETC and are about 30 lessons into 100EZ lessons. We also use...
