So...I was talking to one of my friends about my kids doing well in cursive (bad handwritting just happened to be the topic of conversation-wasn't bragging :wink: ). He said that he didn't know they still taught cursivce in ps. Is he wrong or is it the norm that the schools are moving away from curs...

Thanks! I think I have the books for the storytime. I have some of the suggested books in our library so I am going to use those.

I LOVE HOD!! My kids and I look forward to every day. I love how simple it is to use but yet very informative! I just had to say it.

I was wondering what books do you use for the adventure genre in DITHOR? I ordered all my material at a conference this spring and now I am not sure what the pack of books I bought were for. They do not line up with what the sheet says about suggestions for the books in the various genres. This woul...

To all of us homeschooling families...this is a very stressfull time of the year. We have new curriculum to sort out, we are trying to make it all fit in to our schedules, we worry that our blessed children will not know what they need to at a certain time. To all of us I give you, rather the Lord g...

We have a "school" room where the computer is located, shelving, table and books galore. I have only used it a handful of times :roll: I end up at the kitchen table most times since I feel like I can keep an eye on everyone and I don't feel so holed up (our "school room is in the back of the house)....

I have a blog but have never been able to figure out how to add things to the HTML or however that works. Does anyone know of a site that can teach me that kind of thing or how I can add the HOD banner to blogger? I know, get with the times Thanks!

I have not started HOD yet (I will be in the fall and have read through the material exstensively) but I have been using Singapore Math for the last two years. When I bought the HOD I noticed we were way ahead of what HOD had for our particular age groups. What I plan on doing is just keep going wit...

That was wonderful! Way to go Wyatt!!

Another silly question...how many phonograms should you teach and where do you find them all?

Julie, Thank you for the sites! I am so amazed at how God works! This past year I was wondering what on earth are we going to do for spelling so I bought the Spell to Write and Read and took the training and ended up confused and disappointed. I was also looking for a curriculum that just told me wh...

So this may sound silly, but...what is TRL? I am just trying to educate myself!

Thank you! That is kind of what I thought but I was not 100% sure!

I am new to Heart of Dakota and I am preparing for next fall (2010). Can anyone explain to me a little more about what dictation is and how to do it with your child. :oops: I have an idea about what it is but want to make sure I am on the right track. By the way, I am so excited to get started on th...
