krismoose Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I've been searching the MFW and HOD threads, but I haven't found an answer yet... Please direct me to any relevant threads :) If you've done this, what did you think of the sequence? Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyfulhomeschooler Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I have been considering doing the same thing. We are doing adventures now and I want to try HOD bigger next year.. but we already have SL 1+2 so we may just go with that. HOD just looks so fun though... decisions, decisions!?! I will be watching this thread. :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrightmom Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 That is our current plan for DS8. He's supposed to begin Bigger the first week of April (next week). I have all of the materials for him and they look very good. I consider it a step up in challenge with reading and writing across the curriculum. We'll see how it goes! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohsmom23 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 :bigear: I'm glad you asked this question because I was just wondering the same thing last night as I was working out our school plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krismoose Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Anyone? :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMe Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Yes. HOD's Beyond uses the same book Pioneer and Patriots as MFW ADV does. So yes, you could do MFW ADV then Bigger. Bigger has a different flavor; biographical history. I did Beyond and meshed it with ADV. Worked well. Then I did Bigger. You may have a bit of overlap with patriotic things like learning songs and such, but they are at the end of both programs, so you wouldn't end with one and begin the other with it. Sure. They work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 This is actually my plan, too. I am still trying to decide btwn Adventures and Beyond. i have Beyond and it looks great. But, I have had my eye on Adventures for years now. I'm thinking about combining but not sure how. I'd probably go crazy trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMe Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I used the Pioneer and Patriots as a guide. I did Beyond's guide to 13 weeks, then moved to ADV, then back to Beyond to complete. I used ADV's state study for the 13 colonies only so the state part didn't get redundant, and I used ADV's science. :) I know I did a little more than that, but that's all I can remember. It was a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krismoose Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Thanks for the details alilac, we may do something similar. I love HOD, particularly the storytime and poetry that aren't in Adventures, but we've already done most of the science in Beyond (though it looks like we're going to read through Apologia's Astronomy, so that'll be taken care of), and my ds is just not into very many crafts. My dh is interested in Adventures because it doesn't linger on pilgrims as long. So I'm going to buy the TM asap and we'll decide once we can read it. I'm glad to know that it will still feed nicely into Bigger for the following year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
