As I look toward starting our first "official" homeschooling year (K) in the fall, I realize that I'm going to need to really pray over and use wisdom in determing what outside activities we're going to be involved in. Even though we've been homeschooling for preschool the last two years using Littl...

I don't have the answer, but I'm also interested in what people have to share b/c I'm schooling in NY where we need to report days AND hours.

Ben will be starting K using LHFHG (with Singapore K, ARFHW A, Thinking Skills, First Reader and ETC) and Sam will start LHTH "for real" on his own - no more tagging along with big brother.

I'm just getting ready to start K in the fall with LHFHG. So far we've been using LHTH and so we don't have much of a "schedule" yet, but I knew I'd seen some threads that might help you so I went looking: http://www.heartofdakota.com/board3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2093&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=Let%27s+Shar...

We started LHTH when my oldest was 3.5 and when we finish up he'll be 5.5. Here's how we did it (not that I planned this when we started, but it's how we ended up doing it.) We've always had a few days of the week when we're out of the house (Bible Study, swim lessons, etc.). The first year we did L...

We also like to watch Veggie Tales that go along with our Bible Lessons. (This week we'll be watching Daniel.) I also happened upon a little book called "Even The Soundwaves Obey Him". If you have kiddos that loves science like my little guys, this book has very simple science experiments that go al...

That is truly awesome! So happy for you.

Thanks ladies. I kind of figured that it would be worth getting, but just wanted to check in.

Just looking ahead to the fall and what I need to still purchase for Little Hearts. I'm looking specifically at the Bible right now and wondering if I should purchase one of the recommended Bibles or just use one of the MANY that we already have at home. We have quite a few Bible Story books and als...

Using LHTH - on a good day when I'm trying to be really organized, I might spend 5 minutes the night before looking through the next day and gathering what I need all in one place. Much of the time though, just like the others, it's open and go.

I SO agree! Thank you Carrie and family!

I can't answer the question about four programs at once, but I did want to pop in and let you know what I'm doing with my two little guys b/c it echoes what Carrie suggested for you. I'm going through LHTH with my 5 yo and 3 yo and then adding in the right side of LHFHG for my 5 yo (using ARFHW K, S...

Just wanted to chime in and mention what we are doing with our just-turned 5 yo ds. I knew he was ready for the Phonics/Math/Fine Motor sections of LHFHG, but wasn't sure if he would be able to handle the History/Read-aloud portion this year. So we decided to do LHTH and add in Do It Carefully/Findi...

Just wanted you to know that I brought your dad before the Lord just now. ((Hugs)) to you.

Praise the Lord! That is so exciting to hear!
