Will New Guide Resources be at Conventions?
Carrie, I know how busy you are....but I was hoping you could pop on here to let us know if the resources for the new American History Guide will be available for browsing and purchasing at the conventions this year. I'm trying to decide if I need to go to the Cincinnati Convention. If you will have...

Re: List benefits of using HOD in High School
Conversation between my two daughters in the car last night on the way home from a volleyball game - one is using the WH guide, the other one is using the WG guide. It started because my oldest said, "I LOVE the Scarlet Pimpernel! Just wait until you get to read it next year!" This started a big con...

Re: Message Board Favorites - post yours!
Thanks for posting this link, Pam. Both of the stories shared there helped and encouraged me tonight! I am really struggling these days with figuring out a plan for my almost 9 year old son. Because we adopted him at age 4 and English was his second language, we didn't know how much of his issues we...

Re: Has a revised high school guide plan been stated?
Carrie, Mike, and Julie, I can't thank you enough for all the work you all are doing in order to get these weeks of the guide to us every two weeks. They always arrive right on time. I can't imagine all of the effort and time that goes into what you are doing right now. Carrie, I know only God can p...

Re: When do you "grade/check" their work?
I can tell you what we have found that works for us, but we are doing different years and different ages than yours, so it may not apply to you. However, I do have five kids of all ages and stages! :) I have found that my kids need me to check their work - not because they will slack off if I don't ...

Re: Question about the literature box in the WH guide
Hi, Lynn! Your son is going to love the WH guide! I love the way Lit is scheduled in this one. Actual written narrations are not scheduled very often, however, they do write almost daily about the Lit reading. There are notes in the box before each reading which are very helpful to give some backgro...

Re: Sneak Peek #7: New World History Guide
Carrie, I have a quick question about Les Mis. If my dd used the audio version of Les Mis in the Extensions of a previous program, should she still read this book for Lit this year or should we replace it with another book? Thanks!

Re: Question about Logic in the World Geography guide
Hi, Lynn! We did that book last year and I'm doing it again right now with my twins. Last year, I counted full credit for reading and completing the exercises for that book as long as good effort was shown. I did not grade it by using how many questions were missed. I agree that often I had to look ...

Re: Update on WH guide?
The USPS link says my package is getting delivered today! :D :D The good thing about this staggered delivery plan for the WH guide is that we get to have box day once a month! :D Thanks so much, Mike and Carrie, for getting this all out in the mail to us. I'm sure it's been a crazy whirlwind of acti...

Re: Update on WH guide?
Thanks for taking the time to post, Carrie. I can't wait to get the materials next week. I have one more question if you have the time to answer it. We are doing Week 1 this week with the week printed off the website. She will just fill in the notebook pages when they arrive. Since you are mailing t...

Re: Update on WH guide?
I've been wondering the same thing. I e-mailed Mike last week to ask him that question. They must be too busy to respond right now as I'm sure they are trying to get the details all wrapped up to get this out soon. He thought that they would be mailing the first weeks out on Sept. 8th. Maybe they ca...

Re: First Day of World Geography guide
Thanks for sharing, Lynn! And, Julie, you are so sweet. Yes, those tearing up moments happen the longer we mommy people, I think. :) And I love hearing the others' stories as well. So encouraging. I thought I'd chime in after our first week of the WG guide, too. My oldest used it last year so I knew...

Another WG Grading Question for Carrie
I just re-read the long discussion about grades for WG from awhile ago. I am trying to get my grading organized for starting in a few weeks. Carrie, you said that you only use the WG grading pages for tracking your grades. I am looking at them and wondering how exactly you do that and if you could p...
