WWTB when child is still only halfway through R&S 3?

I'm wondering if anyone else has been successful in using Write with the Best while their dc was still in R&S 3- Beginning Wisely. We started R&S 2 last winter when we switched to HOD. My dd has gone through all of R&S 2 and half of R&S 3 in one school year. But now that we are starting WWTB, I am c...

CTC supplies to have to start

I have read all the board posts I could find about CTC supplies but still can't seem to get my answer. I would like to know how many 3 ring binders to use for CTC. One for the student notebook and one for the science notebook or just one large one for everything? How big of a 3 ring binder should I ...

Re: Grass is Greener Syndrome...help?

This has been such an encouraging thread to read. It has shown me again why I am so thankful God has lead our family to HOD. It has also been a blessing knowing, that during the last week and a half when I ended up in hospital having emergency surgery and am now recovering, that we will just pick u...

Re: Grass is Greener Syndrome...help?

I finally stopped having that syndrome when I found HOD! HOD was the fourth curriculum we have used in my 7 years of homeschooling and is such a perfect fit! I think there are times that God leads you to something new, as He did for us when I discovered HOD. Seasons in life change and sometimes your...

Re: I have lost my sample booklist for DITHOR

You could look at the Book Shop on the main site http://www.heartofdakota.com/bookshop.php I would click on level 2 book pack. That should give you some ideas.

DITHOR Folk Tale Day 9 error should be DAVID

My dd did the Day 9 of the Level 4-5 Folk Tale section. We assumed that when the book said to read the Bible story of Daniel in 1 Samuel 17 that it should have said DAVID. So we went on as though it said DAVID.

Just an FYI.

Write with the Best - CTC

Can any one tell me if in CTC they start using Write With the Best at the first Unit. I am trying to decide if I need to buy it for the first month of CTC or if I can wait a month. Budget is really tight and I am trying to get only the essentials at first. Also when do they start using the Philippia...

Re: Start in the middle of the year?

We started HOD last year mid-year and will finish that guide around January of 2012. It has been any easy transition for us. My dd will start a new guide probably January or February. Because HOD is not so grade specific it is very easy to simply move on to the next guide when your dc finishes the o...

Re: How do you do the storytime in your guides?

My hubby does the PHFHG storytime reading with our dd before bed. She loves that time with her Daddy! And it is nice for him to get to be a part of our school day too. I even have offered to read to her on a night when he works late or something. She has flatly refused and said she would just wait f...

You also need to remember that there may be a time when you choose to uncombine them down the road. Combining or not combining is never set is stone. Just take each year as it comes.

Re: Why are you homeschooling?

The direction of the Lord is my first reason for homeschooling. I always thought I would send my children to school and remain a music teacher. But when it was time I very strongly felt the Lord telling me to stay home and teach our dd. When she was almost six I felt the Lord lead us to put her in P...

Re: HOD's treatment of Ancient History in PH and CTC

We are finishing up PHFHG and I think the presentation of Ancient History is very balanced. We have covered all the topics that are listed here http://www.heartofdakota.com/pdf/PHFHG-intro.pdf. Having done a good portion of MFW CTG I find that the coverage of Ancient History is similar. Looking at m...
