The goal of the HLN Primary Program is to come alongside the homeschooling parents with a delightful introduction to the week’s work. The work of the week is done at home with the parent the primary teacher. The morning at HLN tees-up the week of Three Rs, Cursive*, & Prima Latina**. The afternoons at HLN do a week’s worth of Literature & Enrichment. Parents are welcome to revisit any of the Enrichment activities, but can rest knowing that they are being covered well on Mondays. HLN will provide the formality of recitation, penmanship practice, and drilling that can be hard to accomplish in a busy homeschool. (*Cursive begins in First. **Prima Latina begins in Second.) |
