bnrmom Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 We're just not getting to history. We're spending so much time on the 3Rs, and science, that history is just languishing. Does anyone have any good video recommendations for 5th grade history? I'd really like something sequential, going from Native Americans through Westward Expansion, and covering the highlights in between (immigration, colonies, American Revolution, etc.). Any ideas?

Lizzie in Ma Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 My all time favorite US History lectures are the Teaching Company ones, not sure if suitable for 5th but they are exceptional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lillehei Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I have heard good things about the Drive thru History series. We own The Presidents by History Channel which has a section on each president and the events that took place during his life. We own America the Story of US also by History Channel and like them. My kids absolutely LOVE How the States Got Their Shapes but it is not sequential.

thundersweet Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 We'll be using History At Our House this year. Dd will be doing the new Asian history using the once a week live class, with the recordings option the other 3 days. You can do all live classes. We'll also do the recordings for American history for the whole family. Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll also do the recordings for American history for the whole family. Sandy Sandy, could you tell me more about History at Our House? Can you start in the middle of a year or do you need to begin in September or whenever the semester starts? When is it offered (during the day)? How much time does it take? How much does it cost? Thanks, Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thundersweet Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 We ended up dropping out of it. My dd was doing the once per week live classes and kept missing them. We just decided to start back with American Hstory. I'm not doing Mr. Powell's AH though. You can sign up for his recordings at any time. I think it's $20 per month. I would definitely consider using his courses again in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
