  1. We used Early American History Primary for 2nd grade, there are two versions to it--basic & complete. For my son, basic was the way to go at that grade. He could discuss the books, & help with the timeline, but notebooking was not a skill he was ready for.

    We used Geography for 3rd grade. Again, mostly we read the Holling books & discussed them & did the maps together.

    The book choices were great. The teacher's manual had directions for questions to notebook answers to, we did them orally.

  2. I would first determine if you want history to be a read aloud by you, or child reader. There are alot of leveled readers about history topics. My son found them more interesting than the history text. He liked the Magic Tree House series, especially. Also, If You Lived At the Time of series, Usborne Illustrated History of the Ancient World or other Usborne history books. We had many field trips that had a history theme, don't forget to consider your activites as part of history time.

    Just make sure you do plenty of language arts, & enough math. History can be covered so many ways.

  3. There is also another pass to buy: it includes the zoo, wild animal park, sea world & legoland. This is available at the tourist info right off the freeway. Other than that, I email Legoland when I am planning on going & ask what discounts are available. Sometimes a fast food restaurant or grocery store offers one.

    Legoland now has a water theme playground, & an aquarium next to them, for an additional fee you can go there, also.
