Homeschooling6 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 This was my 2nd week with using 6 HOD Guides although I only blogged about 5. I thought those of you interested in HOD might like to take a peek. http://training6hearts4him.blogspot.com/2014/09/heart-of-dakota-homeschool-2nd-week.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy to monkeys Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 SIX HOD guides?! That's very ambitious. I remember looking at the samples and thinking I'd be overwhelmed with 2! I still love the looks of all those books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneddmanybooks Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I enjoyed reading your blog! We loved most of HOD when we did the Bigger Hearts and Preparing guides. We might go back to HOD some day. I wish I could get only the history, Bible, maybe science and poetry parts of the guide. We don't use her suggestions for math, English, etc. I know that we can use whatever parts we want; just saying. I have NO problem skipping boxes, but dd does. But I'm sure we could deal with that. If I decide to go back next year, dd would probably use Res to Ref for 6th grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeschooling6 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Thank you ladies :001_smile: Not all my kiddos are using the recommendations for LA and Math. I have some kids using TT, Math Essentials, MUS, and Bridgeway. For LA some are using R&S but others are using English Lessons Through Literature. Everything else is HOD though. Res. to Ref. is a great one. My dd used it her 7th grade year and really enjoyed it. When I packed all her books away that year I was just amazed at the program and sad to see them go. Thankfully Ethan and Lance will use it. :hurray: I'm off to get our books ready for this week. Right now with my struggling readers we are only completing 3 days of HOD over the week. Hopefully by Jan/Feb the boys will do 4 days as scheduled but we'll see. It depends how their reading improves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsiew Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I just moved to HOD Preparing this year with my younger two boys. I use only the history reading and science. I'm trying to fit in poetry too. The other things we already have good routines for. I think it's worth it... 6 guides is ambitious! Going to take a look at your blog now!
