Praise the Lord!!! Thanking God for your Dad and will continue to keep your family in my prayers.

I want to agree with the others. If it works for your family then it is the right thing to do...I have one child who gets up at 6am and does all his independent boxes (he is doing CTC) before his siblings get up, sometimes even before Mom! Glad you found what works for your family!

Beyond is one of my favorites!!!

Placement is sooo important. If you would share where each of your children places on the placement chart that would really help everyone give the best advice. I want to encourage you that multiple guides is possible, I run 4 and am done teaching by Noon. (We start at 8am) Looking forward to reading...

This is exactly what I am doing. My son had been in Beyond since last October. We do it 4 days a week, (my older 2 are in programs that are 4 days, so it makes life easier) I love how it is working out. He will probably finish Beyond in October or November. Then start Bigger is January, doing it 4 d...

When we switched from Abeka grammar to R&S, we had finished abeka 3 grammar. I had my son do all of R&S 3 because as I looked through the book I noticed there were topics he had not learned with Abeka. After finishing R&S 4, I am very glad we did all of 3. R&S level 4 is very meaty. It has alot of i...

CTC is a great year. Enjoy and glad it started well.

This is more paper than I need for one year of CTC but now I have extras. Plus one packet would not have be...

I got my son the gel erasable pens. He is loving them. I found them at Office Depot. HTH!

We school year round here in sunny south Florida. We started the new school year July 9th. We are doing RTR, CTC, finishing Beyond and starting Bigger in January, finishing LHTH and starting Little Hearts this month. We have do HOD 4 days a week. The 5th day is used for special interests, field trip...

We are having a hard time finding the words listed in the thesaurus for the IEW writing. Which one did you use? thanks

I would recommend doing the 4 seperate guides, if that is how your children place. Your children will grow more in many ways if you place them where their skills are...I know 4 guides seems impossible but it isn't. There are many families using 4 guides on this message board (mine is one) I feel a s...

Congratulations on a great week, I am sure it will only get better...Looking forward to hearing about your year.
