I so know what you mean! I have experienced that overwhelming feeling almost to the point of hyperventilation more times than I wish to remember. :lol: I have returned 1 or 2 curriculums (which I won't name here) for this very reason. I am so thankful God has led me to HOD, the manuals are laid out ...

We spend a maximum of 20min/day on Latin. Each week (sometimes every 2 weeks) we will do a new lesson from the DVD and we do a short review on all other days. It is pretty easy to fit into the daily schedule, we just don't move onto a new lesson until we have mastered the one we are working on. She ...

I am getting ready to start LHTH & Bigger with dds in a couple of weeks. I went through the 1st 5 weeks of the manuals with pen and paper ready to make a list of supplies I would need for the 1st month. Chances are most items are probably already on your shelf. Honestly, the list is so very small an...

We are using Prima Latina with dd (7) and she has a lot of fun with it. My little one has even picked up on a few words. We just let her move along at her own pace and she is really learning a lot. She likes to show off to her Nana how well she has learned her Latin Prayers since she knows Nana had ...

Thanks my3sons! Stretching it over 2 yrs definitely makes more sense. I figured out this year we can do @ 2/wk and @3/wk the following year. Thanks!

Just received LHTH today, and again, looks like we have a winner! 3yr old dd is going to have fun with this!
Since I am using LHTH with dd at age 3, should I repeat it again next year when she is 4? Has anyone used LHTH 2 yrs in a row with the same child?

Your post brought little tears to my eyes. I couldn't agree with you more. I have only been on these boards a very short time, and picked up on the family feel immediately. I love visiting HOD in the evenings when all is quiet and my children have gone to bed.

Hi, we are new here too. I will be using Bigger along with DITHOR for 7yr old dd beginning in June.

We will be doing Bigger and DITHOR w/7yo dd. I just recently ordered and was so impressed, decided to order LHTH for 3yr old dd. I was not originally planning to use any curriculum with her yet, but just could not resist LHTH, I think she is going to really enjoy this. We are on a 3 week break right...

I keep most of the kid's books out on their bookshelf. I like that the children pick them up and enjoy reading them on their own time (of course my little one enjoys looking at the pics while big sister reads to her). Of course we still read our assignments for the day as scheduled, and dd sometimes...

Hi Carly,
I'm new here also. I will be doing Bigger with dd for grade 2. Welcome!

I received mine with my 1st HOD order on Sat.
The catalog is so inviting, I feel like I'm sitting down with a good book. How wonderful it is to be able to look ahead at what dd will be doing in future years, and to look back at what her little sister has to look forward to in the future with LHTH!

Thank you for all of the warm welcomes! :) It is so refreshing to have found HOD after all of the sifting through of curriculum we have done over the past 2 yrs. The boards here at HOD have such a family feel to them, I'm sure I will be vistiting and posting more often once we get started with Bigge...

I will be doing Bigger w/ dd for grade 2. We just received our shipment on Sat. and I have to say, after reviewing the lessons, I feel a huge weight lifted from my shoulders already. I just love how everything is laid out for each day of the week. I feel so much more organized already. Since reviewi...
