I wish you were going to be at our convention in June (ICHE in Illinois)!

Thank you Mary and Carrie! My DD is DEFINITELY ready for Preparing. She will probably need the extensions actually. She had been doing two lessons of Building with Diligence in less than 1/2 an hour at the end of our school year. She will be in Singapore 5A, but also is 2/3 through Saxon 6/5 (which ...

Anyone?

AHHH... my kids LOVE the Galen book and they have started enjoying the Exploring books. Although, I don't think that either of them have really READ the Medicine one yet. My DS (age 8) has DEVOURED the math one and one of the others (which I can't remember right now). As I've said many times, you se...

HOW EXCITING! When my parents and others go into Haiti, they do the same thing for my cousins. They take "important" things in their luggage in order to avoid extra customs and to make sure they arrive safely. Last year my mom took a different program to my cousin. I actually plan on letting her kno...

Carrie, It doesn't really matter if it doesn't work out, but what is the "target" grade to do Preparing in order to be able to finish the history cycle that you are planning before high school? It may help me as I choose what we will do for this next year. Also, I was wondering if you have any ideas...

My husband DOES work so hard so that I am able to stay home and be able to homeschool our children and train them and teach them. (He even works a part-time second job at FedEx loading trucks at extremely early hours just so that we are able to do the things that he thinks are important.) He is also...

...IS WONDERFUL! I just received my copy today! Although I'm still not sure what the best plan is for our family, I know that the catalog will help me. It will also help me figure out exactly which books I still need. I have most of the books for most of the programs. :oops: So, perhaps I will get b...

Carrie, Julie, Water2Wine, inhistiming, MamaMary, other experienced HODies...

Any opinions? I'm going to start to get my order together to show my husband!

I haven't done this program, but we really enjoy these CDs. We've had them since my oldest (now 10) was about 2. My 3 oldest know almost all of the songs! I just have to say that I feel right at home at HOD, even though I haven't started using it! It seems that almost all of Carrie's choices are thi...

The funniest thing about this question is that I have ALWAYS taught them together. It started when DD was in kindergarten and DS was 3. He joined us for everything but her math and handwriting (and he was always peeking at her math-- I think that's why he's so good at it! ;) ). Anyway, now that I am...

So, I have been pondering and pondering what we should do next year (with all of the extra time I have been having since we decided to abruptly stop school last Friday). According to the Placement Charts, my DD is definitely in Preparing. My DS is somewhere between Bigger and Preparing, but could pr...

Carrie,

Have you ever been to ICHE in IL?

Just curious. (If not, I would LOVE to see you there!)

It used to always be in the middle of May. This year it is the first weekend in June. I'm not sure what the plan is for next year.

The website is ICHE.org

How does this work if your kids have ALREADY read (many times) the books? We are new to HOD, but I will need to buy VERY FEW books in order to do the program and most of the books my kids have already devoured and know well. They have talked with me about them, absorbed the facts, researched related...

My DS is going to be in Singapore 3B in the fall. Will that work pretty well with Bigger? Also, he has not done much narrating and no dictation. He has never done R&S English either. Anita - I think your kids are going to really enjoy Bigger! :D Carrie has a schedule for Singapore 3B in the appendi...
