Hello! I’m so happy that the videos have been helpful, I LOVE books too! I do plan on making some new videos in the near future. Thank you so much for watching! ♥️

I’m glad it was helpful!

Hello, I’m glad you have enjoyed the HOD curriculum videos, I always hope they are helpful! Yes, we are still using Heart of Dakota. This year I’m using Preparing Hearts with my 4th grader, it’s one of my favorite guides! With my oldest, we are doing Revival to Revolution … we ended up not using it last year, because we ended up splitting Resurrection to Reformation into two years. We didn’t plan it that way, but that’s what ended up happening. That’s why I haven’t made a new video in a while. But I do plan on making some more in the near future.

Hello, there is a Poem at the end of the teacher guide and it’s broken down into the different time periods that your studying. The students can copy down the corresponding section of the poem in their notebook each day. Hope this helps! Thanks for your question .. I will check out your channel!

Hello, You read one at a time for each subject

Hello, thank you for your question. Lessons can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 20 minutes depending on the subject, and you don’t do every subject everyday. You alternate between the subjects. It only take about 2 hours a day. Because they are short lessons, you are able to do more subjects, but like I said, you don’t do every subject everyday. I hope this was helpful.

@@lovelessons4192 thank you for your reply. I am intrigued by Charlotte Mason style and am interested in the methods for my own children

Hello, we used the first two books in the series and we really enjoyed both of them. However, we have switched over to Teaching Textbooks. My oldest will be starting 8th grade, so he’s been using Teaching Textbooks for a while now, because The Charlotte Mason math books don’t go up that far yet, and my youngest was very interested in trying Teaching Textbooks also, like his brother. I think both math programs are great!

Hello, it worked out well for us. The Simply Charlotte Mason science made it more hands on for my son, which he really liked! 🙂👍🏼

Hello, it worked out well for us. I like the simplicity of it. It’s a different way of doing math, but we really enjoyed it, I think it’s a great math program. We have used the first two books in the series.

Hello, I’m glad you found the video helpful. My son loves astronomy as well, we have actually gone through the book twice, once when he was in 1st grade and again in 6th grade. He has enjoyed it both times!

@@lovelessons4192 thanks so much! That’s great to know

I apologize for the very, very late reply . Your message somehow slipped by me and I just saw it. You might have had all your questions answered by now, but just in case you haven’t, I’ll answer them. You don’t add to the notebook after each lesson, but most lessons. The guide is very clear, it tells you exactly when and what to add, or if there’s anything else you need to do, like add to your California map. There is a California poem at the end of the guide, that the students use to copy from when they are adding to their notebook. I’m am sorry again, hope this helps.

Thank you, I am happy you found it helpful!

That’s great that you found them for free! That’s very helpful for many of us!

We shop at thrift stores for books as well. I think working at a book store is awesome job!

Thank you, it is. I do only work about 2 or 3 days a week there. I still believe in being home as much as possible, I didn't work while my boys were growing up. Being a wife & mother was my calling from God & I was always glad that I obeyed His voice. I do not ever regret being a stay at he mama, it gave me time to spend with my boys. Now my boys are men. I had 3 boys, my oldest one was 25 when he sadly was killed in a car wreck on his 25th birthday, 2yrs ago. A drunk driver drove on the wrong side of the road hitting my son's car killing him instantly (I'm still trying trying to live again), my middle son will be 24 next week & my youngest is 22. Times flies, you blink & they're grown. Enjoy this time with your children, they truly are a blessing from the Lord.

@@traciesandoval2882 I’m so sorry about your son, it’s so tragic and unfair. I pray that God will strengthen you and help you keep moving forward. God bless you and your sons.

Thank you, it's hard but God keeps me going. My husband & boys are a help as well.

Hello, thank you for your question .. You are correct, it is pricey, but it’s also a very nice book. We used it for a year and it still looks brand new. But the parent or teacher is the one handling the book, not the student. If you have multiple children, and will use it multiple times, I believe it’s worth it. It has been my favorite math book that we have used, and we have used many different ones over the years. Regarding the paper quality, it is not as thick as the Lamplighter books, but it is thicker than regular printer paper, but not by much.

Hello, I believe it is possible to get it done with the teacher guide only, but it would be a lot of work for you. My suggestions would be to either write down all the questions for your child on a separate notebook for them to answer, or make copies of the pages from the teacher guide and whiteout all the answers. The student book and teacher guide are exactly them same, except that the teacher’s guide has all the answers. Thank you for your question, I hope this helps! 💕

Hello, yes the pages are perforated, which makes it very easy, and for the cover, I just used scissors to cut it off, thanks for your question 😊

I’m so glad it was helpful to you 💕

Thank you so much! It means a lot 💕 Blessings

Happy to know it was helpful, thanks for watching 🥰

That is wonderful, thank you for the encouragement, I really appreciate it .. I love all the advice, tips and encouragement other mothers have to give, I have found your advice very helpful to me in our HOD journey 💜

@@lovelessons4192 ❤

Hello Kiki, Yes, that’s actually what we do in our home. Our main curriculum is Heart of Dakota, and we add enrichment studies from either SCM or from other books we like. It has worked out for us so far.

@@lovelessons4192 That's so great to hear that it's possible to do that. I just love the enrichment from Simply Charlotte Mason. God bless you!

How much was that entire curriculum with the books?

Thanks for watching, I hope it was helpful

Hello 👋🏼 I believe a Catholic family can use this curriculum. In the last six years that we have used HOD, only about twice have I came across a note in the teacher guides that said if you are Catholic you might want to skip this next section, so it does give you a warning, and you can pre-read ahead of time and make a decision. This specific guide “Resurrection to Reformation” does teach about the reformation in the history section of it, like the title says … but you can teach your kids about the reformation from a Catholic point of view. During this section of it, you can switch out a book or two and replace them with other books of your choosing that have a Catholic view point of the reformation. It would be very easy to do that. I hope this helps you in your decision. If you have any other questions, please let me know!

@@lovelessons4192 that sounds great, thank you so much for your help. The guide sounds really helpful and I like the idea of swapping or adding books for different perspectives :) thanks, again for taking the time to reply!

Hello, I think they are both good hymn books, but if I had to pick just one, I would definitely go with “Hymns for a Kids Heart”. We have not really used “Singing the Great Hymns” much. Since we are not really good at singing, having a cd that we can sing along with has been very helpful, and we also love the stories behind each hymn. Thanks for your question, I hope this was helpful to you

@@lovelessons4192 yes! Thanks so much. I ended up getting Hymns for Kid’s Heart! I also love the idea of reading the stories with it!

Numbers and Stars thank you so much, I’m glad it was helpful!

Hello Asheley, I used The Reading Lesson with my youngest and he did learn to read using this curriculum. He was reading soon after we started the program. It worked great for us, I would recommend it. It is also very easy to use. My oldest was already reading when he used this program, it was more for reading practice for him. I didn’t find out about it until after we had already started using a different reading curriculum for him, or else I would of used this sooner with him as well. Thank you for your question, I hope the videos are helpful. I also have another video on just The Reading Lesson, where I explain exactly how it works and how to use it, if your interested 😁

@@lovelessons4192 thank you so much for your reply ! I ordered it for my daughter , I’m going to check out your other video ! Thank you so much !!

Hello Rhea, I liked both, it’s hard to pick just one, they are very different, Bede’s History is more hands on, the kids actually create a small lapbook, my boys really enjoyed it! HOD’s history are books that you just read out loud to your kids. They are short stories that are engaging. We have enjoyed both

@@lovelessons4192 Thank you so much! 🥰
