joyfulhomeschooler Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 For the first time since we began homeschooling, we are on track for finishing when we want to. Usually we just have to skip the last part of our curriculum or finish it up and start late the next year. We are actually set to finish EARLY this year. As long as there are no bumps in the coming months... and even if there are we should be able to finish on time. Woohoo! This is our first year with HOD and we are loving it. I miss MFW at times but HOD seems to get done better around here. Plus the kids like it and are on most occasions excited for school. What homeschool Mama could ask for more! :) Just had to share.

twoxcell Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 :hurray: :party: Awesome! We are having a great year with HOD also. Just a heads up to tell you that Preparing is even better than Bigger. My ds and I are loving it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle My Bell Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 That has been us too. HOD gets done. In fact, my 15 year old daughter loves it so much that she didn't even take a Christmas break like the rest of us. She could make that decision because she works independently from me. I personally needed a break. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle My Bell Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I wanted to add in that this year I am doing Preparing with two of my daughters and loving it. This is their first year with HOD. My older daughter has used all the programs from CTC and up. She will continue with HOD through graduation.

kagmypts Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I am so glad to hear that you like HOD. Your kids are the same age that mine will be next year, and I plan to have them in Bigger. How do you like NOEO with HOD? Which NOEO course do you have them in? Thank you so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyfulhomeschooler Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 I am so glad to hear that you like HOD. Your kids are the same age that mine will be next year, and I plan to have them in Bigger. How do you like NOEO with HOD? Which NOEO course do you have them in? Thank you so much! It would work great with NOEO if I could get it all in. I am finding it hard to do though with the toddler and baby as well. It could just that we aren't getting much sleep right now though. I think it is doable and hope to get it back on track soon. We are doing NOEO Chem 1 and I find it pleanty rigorous for both the older ones. I should add that we don't do the notebooking exaclty as mapped out in the teacher guide for NOEO. My kids would balk at it if we did.

miracleone Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 It's our first year with HOD and we're using CTC as well. It's our best year of homeschooling (so far) because we are on track and I don't feel that we're missing anything. My daughter said she wants to use HOD again next year so that says a lot! We're getting school done and it's challenging yet fulfilling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelli Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I am going to go out on a limb and ask a question I'm sure is totally dumb but....what is HOD?

coastal academy Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 This is our first year using HOD. We ALL love it so much. My oldest is even telling her friends how much she loves it and especially loves history. She says that after she does math she is "done" with school for the day bc the rest is just fun stuff. Her workload is challenging in Preparing, but she just enjoys it so much and so do the rest of my kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raceNzanesmom Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 So glad it's working for you!! This is our third year with HOD and we love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedmom4 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I also love HOD. We will finish Preparing in the spring. We have been working at half pace. We started last year and it will take us two full school years to finish. It has been a great pace for my boys. Their skill level in many areas has improved greatly. I'm looking forward to CTC next year! God Bless, Elise in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
