  1. I believe I understand correctly that they are aligning with common core, so what is changing about the program to do that? Is what's being sold now already changed?
  2. Thank you for the help ladies. Walking-Iris I don't really get the why and how either, I really should look more into it and I'm trying.
  3. My daughter is finishing third this year and we will be starting 4thid summer. This was our first year homeschooling and previously she was in public school. This year we did R&S English 2 as a review and are now going to finish R&S English 3 at the end of 3rd. She also did R&S 3 spelling this year and their 3rd handwriting. First, I don't like their handwriting, it was not a good fit for either or is so I was thinking of doing HWOT 3. She has the ideas of cursive, but needs more practice and she needs practice writing overall because her print is sloppy. Can anyone tell me what they think of HWOT is it a good program? Second, we've never done copy work, dictation, narration and I really want to start, but I'm lost. I really need help in all areas of that. For LA I'm thinking of switching from Rod and Staff to CLE, but know that the writing is light so I've thought of WWE. Would that be a good idea or should I just stay with Rod and Staff. I'm not sure what areas of writing of writing are light or what I should worry about covering. We like rod an staff, but I wanted to try the CLE since it can be a little more independent, but at the same time the writing issues worry me because I don't want to leave things out. Sorry to sound confusing, I'm confused myself. I see FLL, WWE, CLE, Rod and Staff, etc mentioned and I like many of them, but I'm not sure how and what to implement to get. Well rounded language arts/writing and to cover dictation/ copywork and narration.
  4. We are currently using Rod and Staff for 3rd Math and planned to continue with it for 4th, but it's very light on word problems. What would be good to supplement with to cover word problems? The only thing I thought of was LOF, but I don't know if that would fit the bill.
  5. Thank you ladies for the response. I'm mostly interested in their state study an the bird study, which I know I can piece together on my own. I love HOD, just wante to add in some state things for my dd.
  6. I'm going to be using HOD Beyond this upcoming year and really like some of the elements of MFW Adventures. Would it be possible to get the MFW teacher manual and add in the stuff with our Beyond that I like? Has anyone ever done that, would it be worth it or a waste?
  7. Do they discount stuff at conventions or should I order?
  8. Can someone post a link to the actual device?
  9. I just looked at this, how does it work. Do you hole punch your paper an then use it to make a spiral like binding?
  10. I want to see other answers to this because I was thinking the same thing.
  11. This year for 3rd grade I've used all Rod and Staff with my daughter. Next year I was planning to use Rod and Staff again and add Apologia for science and Prairie Primer as a fun study for us to do in the afternoons. I decided to use HOD LHTH for my youngest and started looking at the other age levels and really like HOD. However I don't want to give up the Apoloia science and using Prairie Primer for fun stuff. Would it be too much to add those with HOD or would it be doable? I was also thinking long term and wondering if HOD would be meaty enough for higher grades. I know I want to use MOH in a few year and wondered how I could work that or if I should jut give up on HOD for grades after preschool.
  12. How do I find out the laws for my state, I'm in GA
