swellmomma Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I attended the 2 day workshops for HWOT this weekend and I have to say I have a whole new outlook on this program. I was already using it with my kids but as I learned I was not using it quite in the way it was designed to be used and was missing key parts( elements rather than items kwim). I did the pre-k on Friday night, and the K-5 all day Saturday. If you ever get the chance to do the workshops, and are either already using, or at least wanting to use HWOT I highly recommend it. I was lucky because work paid for me to attend so I did not have to pay the expensive registration fee. In the fee we got tons of stuff, all the teacher guides and workbooks for grade pre-K through 5, the wooden pieces, blue mat, roll a dough, stamp set, double lined board, slate, both Cd's, a flip crayons. Saturday I won a draw for another full set of the K-5 books and cd so that was exciting too. I am so excited to use the program with the kids now focusing on the things I learned, and feel re-energized in my homeschooling after the time away and just had to share my excitement.

Dmmetler Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I agree-I did the full 2 day a couple of years ago, and it really made a difference in teaching handwriting. And having ALL the materials for all grades has been helpful, too-especially when my DD decided she wanted to learn cursive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyD Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 This is great to know -- I get the brochures and always think about going, but I didn't know if it would be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
