Have any of you LHFHG veterans skipped ahead to a unit because of an upcoming holiday? Could you share what you did? I am thinking of jumping ahead to Unit 23 to learn about Thanksgiving and will probably do the same for Christmas (unit 11) and Easter (unit 16). If you have done this, would you repe...

We also have "escuelita" in the morning. Even though I only have one child (5), I try to keep our schedule running smoothly because I also work full time after 3:30 pm.

My 5 year old thinks I know sooo much, and it was because I kept referring to this little book. Greetings t...

Just wondering... Do any of you add nature walks/nature study to your daily "school?" One thing that is exciting about LHFHG is that we have enough time to enjoy the outdoors for a walk or even have outdoor school. This morning instead of starting school right away we went on a nature walk and enjoy...

Just started LHFHG this week (with 5 year old son) and really, really like it. After I bought the book "just to get what I need" I read through it and was hooked. Now I have ordered EVEVERYTHING else that I need to make it work. It is so easy to use and I thank Carrie for her hard work and God for l...
