NaturalTXMama Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Well I did it! After YEARS of research I finally chose a curriculum for our first official year of homeschooling! Ahhhhh! So nervous & excited! We chose HOD LHFHG for our kinder year. We are about to finish MFW K,which we did as a summer PreK. HOD moms, tell me I made the right choice! It's so nerve-racking. There are so many beautiful programs to choose from. Risking loosing money when on a tight budget makes me nervous. I hope I can do this!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorisuewho Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I hope you love HOD! My novice advice is to now STOP researching and reading choosing curriculum threads and go do HOD whole-heartedly without second guessing yourself. Everything looks greener!

Joyofsixreboot Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 We're only 3 weeks in but so far the kids and I are all happy with HOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 LHFHG is a precious program! I hope you enjoy it! We did LHFHG last year after doing MFW K with my dd. My dd was 5 and fairly advance so we beefed up the academic portion and omitted some of the more "babyish" activities (like in the math and rhymes section). Other than that, we loved it! HOD has made my homeschooling so much easier! I am running 4 guides now and it is like organized chaos at times, but I'm finding a good rhythm.

JessReplanted Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I am using Little Hearts with my 4 & 5 year olds, and I love it!! My son is using Preparing, and I love that too! The only problem I'm having is trying to figure out how to handle teaching the two programs at the same time.... :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkeller Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 We are currently on week 15 of Little Hearts for His Glory and are LOVING it! As the previous poster said, don't be afraid to beef it up if you need to or slow down if necessary. Enjoy yourself and post if you have any questions! Also I agree, stop looking at curriculum now, cause there is always something newer and "better" ! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoxcell Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 You made the right choice!;) Even if you didn't it is K you can not really go wrong. Stick with it for the year and have fun! Now you do not have to look at curriculum until next year. By the way my dd is about to finish up LHFHG and we loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorrelZG Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I hope you enjoy it. :D I'm thankful I chose it. It gets done and enables me to feel confident because I know exactly what to do each day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessReplanted Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I just wanted to add that Little Hearts is a really FUN way to do K. I wish I had done it with my son. (we were stuck in Abeka land back then. :tongue_smilie:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristin0713 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 We just finished week one of LHFHG. I am really happy with it and the kids are enjoying it. I love that the Bible, History, and science lessons all connect and they are simple, leaving plenty of time for us to work on writing, reading, and math. I'm using my own programs for those (SWR and RS) so to have the rest all connect around a Bible theme, well that is exactly what we need to round out the day. I will say that earlier in the week I was feeling like we needed more planned out literature. But I think we will be fine just getting a bag of books from the library every week to read in the afternoons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwena Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 You'll love it!!! This is my 5th year homeschooling, but my 2nd year using HOD. Last year was our best year ever and this year has been the easiest start I've ever had to a homeschool year. We're still loving HOD.

hmschooling Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I'm 4 years into HOD and LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Still look forward to our days with it, still get excited about each new level, and the only burnout I get is just busy days of lots of littles, not having too much work or a boring school program ....YOU CHOSE RIGHT!!! :D:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjneary99 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I am so encouraged to hear people's responses about HOD..I am preparing to start and hoping I made the right decision. Thanks for the posts, ladies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustybug Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 We have used LHTH for two years and I'll be starting LHFHG next week with my DD. We LOVE HOD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raceNzanesmom Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 We love HOD too! We used Little Hearts last year for 1st. It was a great foundation for Beyond this year. Even the things that seemed baby'ish taught good skills for this year. Enjoy! and be blessed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtbowman Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 We are about 2 months in with LHFHG and are so happy with it! I love that the guide walks me through our day. We are doing a 4 day week with the program and it is working out nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
