  1. Thank you all! I am thinking I should probably go with primary for him and then integrate it later on if need be. If i’m Not careful, i’ll end up killing his love of learning. He is way ahead in so many areas, so it is temping, but he is still only 4 1/2. I have looked at scm, but the sequences would be difficult because our state requires us cover some us history each year until 6th grade. I’m just not sure how to make it mesh. I have looked at a lot of different options but a lot of times the writing is not very engaging, or at least not what is in the samples. Anyway, thank you again! :)
  2. Hello all, I have been searching this forum and I don't seem to be able to find any information on the use of Beautiful feet books intermediate levels with younger ages. I have been doing kindergarten with my 4 year old, and I am trying to make curriculum decisions for the upcomming years. This year I have been reading an old abeka 3rd grade history book that my mother gave me from back when I was homeschooled. My 4 year old has been enjoying it and retaining much of it. It is one of the few abeka history books that is story/biography format. Having been homeschooled myself I am sick of history being boring. I will eventually be homeschooling at least 3 kids close in ages, and there is no way I can read aloud 3 separate history programs. My goal is to come up with a literature based history cycle that will work k-8. The younger kids would mainly listen/narrate, and the older do the asignments/read aloud. I love the idea of beautiful feet books, but they seem to be really lacking in the younger grades. So my question is would the intermediate level books be interesting and understandable to a 5 or 6 y/o or would they be way over their heads? I got the holling c holling geography books from our library when my son was 3 years and he adored them. They are listed as 3rd-7th grade. The cycle I'm thinking of doing is: Early American intermediate (I am pretty sure my son would understand these) Modern American and world intermediate (Most of these seem like they would work) Ancient intermedite (I think this one would work) Mideval intermediate (I am unsure of this one) Then repeat.... I must sound totally crazy, lol!
