Mercy_Me Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Hi guys! I am homeschooling my 8 year old and beginning next week, my 10 year old. I have purchased separate math, reading, writing and spelling, but I would love to combine history. We are using Gombrich's A Little History of the World as a spine and I supplement with books, activities, DVDs, etc. What I would like to do is continue the way we are going with the 10 year old as well, and simply tailor her activities to her fifth grade level. I like the idea of bringing her back to the beginning and going forth in chronological order, but with her already being in fifth grade, would I be doing her a disservice? Thanks in advance!! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercy_Me Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Also, have any of you used A Little History Of The World through until the end? Good results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapbookbuzz Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I'm not familiar with A Little History of the World but I can answer your other question. You are NOT doing your 10yo a disservice by starting her at the beginning of History. As long as you keep her work at her level, you'll do fine. Good for you, mom, for taking the initiative to do what you believe is right for your kiddos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercy_Me Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Thank you! I am new to this and learning as I go. I just don't want them to suffer because of my lack of confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
