After reading the thread entitled ? about HOD at the Arlington Bookfair I now have a question about my HOD order for the Cincy Convention. I am ordering Beyond. I need the complete economy package, but not the total basic package as we use MUS for Math. After reading the other thread, it sounds like...

First of all, I am not familiar with Singapore at all. It is probably a wonderful program from what I hear and the activities that Carrie writes in the guides (from what I can tell from the week sample) look awesome as a go along. Having said that, we use Math U See. My ds has gone through Primer, A...

Loved the pictures of your sweet dc with their new school books. It's so sweet they wanted to look at their books right away. I too can't wait to buy my stuff next week at the Cincy Convention. I already have the HOD booth marked on my vendor hall map.

What a blessing to hear!!! Thanks for sharing!

Super excited for you and your dd!!! Don't you just love getting new books?

Thanks so much for your responses, ladies. I love the idea of waiting a month and seeing how things go. I tend to be an all or nothing sort of person :oops: which isn't good for me or homeschooling. It'll give me time to see if it's feasible to add in or not. I also love the suggestion of maybe doin...

Here are a few free pages that would probably work. These are for purchase and I really like them. You can use some for copywork and some for notebooking depending on the layout of the pages. If you scroll down some, then you can see samples inside of the book for purchase. You can then just print ...

I do agree with Kathleen as well about rotating disciplinary and inspirational subjects if you can. My reasoning has mainly been my ds' neck as a lot of writing makes his neck hurt (even though I've made sure he's doing everything properly). With that in mind I do try and get atleast my two least fa...

Kasey, First off, saying a prayer for you now!! I think your schedule looks great! My only thought I had was that maybe you should swap spots to do right side of HOD in the morning and the left side in the afternoon. It seems like I do better and so do my dc when we do these right away, otherwise we...

Ladies, I am excitedly looking forward to combining my dc (who will be 6 & 8 by then) in Beyond for next year. My ds will be 8 and with our current program is use to doing notebooking pages or lapbooking pieces each day. I know there's not a lot of notebooking with Beyond. I'm wondering if that's so...

Jasmine,
Please tell your dd that her artwork is beautiful.

So glad to hear this! Thanks for sharing! We haven't officially begun HOD (buying at Convention in a couple of weeks for next year), but it was so good to hear that it was so easy to just pick up and go and didn't take weeks of preparing, planning, and prepping.

Mom4Him: How sweet to hear your little girls say, "let's have him come in for this part, because he would really like it". They're enjoying sharing something special with their little brother and he's enjoying doing things with everyone else. Moedertje: You guy looks so happy!!! I loved seeing his t...

The first thing that came to my mind was Homeschool Reviews. I have gone there in the past to read reviews of other curriculums. Here's the page specific to HOD. It would be really cool if ladies from here could go post reviews of HOD.

Marsha, hugs to you and all that you are going through. I am new to HOD and haven't officially started using it yet. I am looking to use Beyond with both my dc. My oldest will turn 8 in June before we start Beyond. There's areas where he fits Bigger already, but I wanted to combine both dc so we're ...
