MamaCoop04 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Okay, so I'm new to this so bare with me if I screw this up... We're fairly new to homeschooling and used the Prairie Primer for our first year for dd in 4th grade. Next year, I was planning on using the Portaits of American Girlhood unit study. Wondering what people did, if they used it as a stand alone or supplemented big time or just a little? Saw previous posts on this topic, but the last post was 2 years old. I am hoping there might be some more current opinions. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2_girls_mommy Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 My dd took it at co-op, so it was a supplemental class for her. We both really enjoyed it though. She learned a lot, even though they only did minimal stuff with it, since they only met once a week. She loved learning more about the time periods studied.

Crimson Wife Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 We have it and are using it to supplement my DD's American History studies. So far, we've only used the "Felicity" unit as we haven't gotten to the other time periods yet. We're about to study the CA Missions so I'm planning to use the "Josefina" unit with that (granted she lived in New Mexico but it's still Spanish-American culture IYKWIM). For us, PoAG is strictly supplemental. It's way too light for the kind of academics I prefer in our HS. It's fun and engaging, but "gravy".
