I had the exact same issues with singapore. We started with the singapore in K and because of the lack of review ect. I felt dd was not getting it. I, like you, so much respect Carrie and her opinions as well, but for our family singapore just did not work, but...Carrie did make the program to be fl...

We do LHFHG, and I like many moms, I don't have great math skills either. We began using singapore, but DD just was not getting it. She needed what another mom said.... some more "hand holding" type math, so we have been doing Rightstart Math, which I feel is more what she needed to make the connect...

Joyousblessing, I know there have been so many responses but just have to chime in too. :D I as of last Februrary was also a brand new homeschool mom. When DH and I decided homeschooling was going to be the way to educate DD, I got on the computer and researched so long and so hard I felt as though ...

Well Ladies, I think the verdict is in, I will continue with LHFHG, until we are done, thank you for your
responses and input!
Bless you all!

I should mention, that we do extra curricular things also. We do Nature Study, we do Composer study, and Art study also, So we do have a lot of extra, I don't have a problem finishing LHFHG, Just wondering if I would be good for her to jump ahead, I do understand not pushing them to fast also. Wonde...

Thinking about bumbing up a grade wondering if anyone could help me decide! DD is using LHFHG, we are on Unit 27. She has long since finished the Thinking skills book, and Finding the Answers (we have also done Right into Reading, and Explode the code and is flying through those.)She is almost total...

I'm sure I've given way more info than you were asking for- I find that my hobby, job, and passions are all the same-- teaching my kids! So easy to talk about :) Mom2Monkeys, Actually I don't think there is any such thing as giving me to much info! You are a sister after my own heart, my passions, ...

Carrie, I so appriciate you taking the time to answer my post! I know you are extremly busy, but I so respect your opinions! I have just one more question, if you have a chance to answer. I understand that learning Greek is great for reading the Bible in it's origianl Greek, so do you prefer Greek o...

DD showing interest in learning another language. I know thier have been many discussions on this topic, but I have some further questions to anyone with more info on these two languges and if either is appropritate to start teaching to a 6yr old (doing LHFHG) and what are some of the benefits?

I just had to say on my list of things I am "Thankful" for is Hod! I was working in the kitchen this morning getting somethings ready for our Thansgiving feast, and although we have taken this week off, I thought how great that after the holidays, we get to go back to our "beloved curriculum"! I kno...

If I may interject one more thought on this topic, Charlotte Mason said she believed that one third of education is atmosphere as she so beautifully stated: "Ideas are held in that thought environment which surrounds the child as an atmosphere, in which he breathes in unconscioius ideas of right liv...

Tiffinie, I am a very new homeschool mom too, and I don't chime in on a lot of posts, cause I'm usually the one asking all the questions :oops: . I have had those same concerns too, like when my nephew same age as my daughter, names off the continents in his sleep :lol: . I think oh man where am I g...
