    Ancient history - 3rd grade?

    Thanks for the recommendations.

     

    My reservations with SOTW are mainly that I used it before with my oldest and didn't feel like doing it again. :D But, also because it's not from a Christian perspective. IDK...maybe I'll look at it again, but VP appeals to me more right now. Either way, please keep any ideas coming! Thanks!

    I am just getting back into homeschooling after a couple year break, and am trying to figure out what history to do with my 3rd grader. I will be homeschooling her and also have a preschooler and a toddler at home. I am pretty sure I want to do ancient history, but not sure I want to do SOTW1. What other things are out there that wouldn't be too intensive, but would be enjoyable? I was looking at VP, but would love other suggestions. Preferably from a Christian perspective. We are going to be doing Winter Promise Animals and Their Worlds as our science and language arts.

     

    TIA!

    Say a little about the school your kids are in

    My 3 oldest children will attend public school for the first time in the fall. They will be in 5th, 3rd, and 1st grade. I worked at the school part-time a few years ago as an SLP and know that it is a pretty good school. I just will be curious as to what teachers they will get and how we'll like them. And how my schedule is going to change. It was going to change anyway with a new baby due in 6 weeks! LOL! But, I wonder if I'll want to afterschool them at all. Probably only if I feel that their teachers are lacking.

    I might be doing this next year...

    My 3 oldest children will be attending ps in the fall. I have homeschooled them all up until now, but with a toddler and a baby due in 6 weeks, I knew I'd have to give it up. Depending on how their classes are, I might have to do some afterschooling...or might just decide to do it for Latin or another foreign language.

     

    Could you give me an idea how you manage to afterschool and handle homework, etc? What's a typical day like when you afterschool? And what subjects do you teach?

     

    Thanks so much.
