Since our children are with us nearly 24/7 we don't always think about talking to them about "Stranger Danger", too. And behavior our children need to recognize as "wrong" with people who are not strangers as well. Something we don't like to think of but need to address.

This is my first year using Beyond ... my older boys did not start HOD until Preparing. Why am I not surprised HOD has this covered ?

I have thought of this at "odd" times often ... things like the address and phone number ... but I never think of them during our school day to go over with them .

Come on over Patty ... we love visitors ... we are both in NC so that practically makes our kids "classmates"

So we are in 7 days into our school year and studying American History (using Beyond and Rev to Rev). We put up a new, large map of the United States in our living room. All on his own my 1st grader made guns out of blocks that shoot rubber bands so they could use them to call out states and then se...

We just finished our first week with Rev to Rev, too and I also have a 13 year old boy :D . He did nearly all of his Science today with the wrong glue and had to let it dry for a long time before we could do any "repair" or any of the next steps. So good to hear you all share and remind me to be pat...

Thanks ladies ... we are trying the teamwork approach, too. As long as I can keep the oldest from "taking charge" which is so "natural" for our "first borns" to do it should work out fine ... if that seems to become an issue I am thinking of alternating weeks with one being "in charge" every other w...

Today is our first day :D ! It is going well but after getting into science I have a question. I have 2 students working together. I ordered one intermediate logbook and one advanced logbook as instructed to do so on the website but we only are advised to order one kit so they do have to work togeth...

This is so great !!! It makes me want to go do these painting over again ... we did it 3 years ago ... now if I can just remember it in 4 years when my youngest will be doing Preparing

This has been a difficult school year for us. We live in an old home and at Christmas we noticed our Living Room Floor was bouncy and sloping where it had not been before. In January, we discovered that about 800 square feet of our 1200 square foot home had rotten floor joists and we had to replace ...

Me, too ... I would love to have this list !

An individual state study is planned in MTM ... here is some info from the HOD website ... Individual State Study (Recommended) Link to Publisher’s Website: http://www.statehistory.net Description: We recommend that your student complete a study of his/her individual state during this year. Time is ...

I was just curious if there are any fellow NC HOD users doing Rev to Rev next year . We are in western NC !

My middle son has a July birthday and turned 9 the summer before 4th grade and that is where he would have been placed if in public school as well if he attended here. He did Creation to Christ that year manly because we stared using HOD the year before with Preparing. He was in 3rd that year and I ...
