Amanda82 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I'd really like to combine my girls history, science, and Bible this year but I'm having a hard time deciding on a good history to use for both of them. Any suggestions on a history that will be good for a 1st and 3rd grader to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaceful Isle Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Story of the World, The Ancients (book 1) would be perfect. That's what I would do. That's what I did last year for my Ker, 2nd and 4th! All three loved it! It was perfect. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacus2 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I'm planning Sonlight Core B for my 1st and 3rd graders next year. Sonlight also has science, but I haven't decided if I'm using them for that yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kadesmom Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I've been looking at the Guesthollow free curriculum. Looks like something we may enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4maybabies Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 We're trying out Biblioplan this year with my 3rd, 1st, and K'er..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByGrace3 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) What period of history are you wanting to cover? You could combine in Sonlight Core B or Tapestry of Grace, SOTW, or if you want American history Truthquest might be a good option... Combining at this age is not very difficult, maybe if you let us know what you are looking for in a program, we can help give better suggestions. :001_smile: ETA Biblioplan is another one tht is gret for combining.

Susie in MS Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Ancient Civilizations and the Bible elementary guide/wkbk and yummy supporting picture books from AiG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAM Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I agree SL Core B would work great and let you combine all 3 of those things. If you are just looking for history right now though, SOTW 1 is a really fun read- and you can get the project book to go along with it if your 3rd grader wants to dig deeper into any of the topics.

2_girls_mommy Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Story of the World, any volume for history. When my kids were 1st and 3rd we were up to vol. 3, but we started with vol. 1 when they were preK and K. So you could start now with 1. Bible: for 3rd grade I think we just read the Bible and colored books and memorized verses. I don't think we used a specific curric that year, so no suggestions. If you do SOTW 1, Old Testament goes right along with it. vol. 1 goes through the fall of the Roman Empire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 We did My Father's World Adventures this year for 1st and 3rd. It was wonderful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really have a specific time period I'm looking for, my 3rd grader really just loves any history and my 1st grader doesn't really care. I think she may really enjoy American history after learning about the Presidents in 2nd grade but we're not closed to other periods. Thanks for all of the suggestions everyone...I'm going to look into them all and with the help of my oldest daughter hopefully we'll be able to pick something!
