Oh boy! My first time to post over here. I sure hope I am doing this correctly! History is not a HUGE part of our day either, and I don't want it to be. I am considering continuing with MOH and doing Volume 2 and part of 3 next year (these are each 28 weeks so we would do all of 2 and 7 weeks of 3). It is very pick up and go. She has many book suggestions as well. We have added in many whole books (historical fiction) this year with books I have selected by perusing the WTM lists, the VP lists, and the SL lists. The other thing I am considering for next year is using Diana Waring. She is suggested for grades 5 and up, but I think with the audios it would be doable by a 4th grader. I like the pacing (three year program rather than four or five year), and I think a unit approach would be a nice change of pace for us. Good luck! Cynthia
