haleysmommom Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Just realizing I would like to supplement SOTW with American history for my 4th grader. What do you love? I would like to look at anything you may suggest but would prefer something straightforward, and not expensive. Thanks so much!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 The Complete Book of US History might be a good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmansWife Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 You could get the Beautiful Feet Early American History guide and get the books from the library (my 4th grader will be using the Primary). Also, they have a new history book, A Child's First Book of American History. http://www.rainbowresource.com/product/sku/019474/f3a5b66ec35b40667e77cf97 ~AprilMay~ who is always, always, always in purple but isn't right now because the font colors aren't working.

Aurelia Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 The Complete Book of United States History and/or the American history plans at Guesthollow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haleysmommom Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Thanks! I do wish I could look thru the BF new book. I know it has just been re-done from the Rainbow history book, ( or something like that), but I cant find a site that will let me see the pages of the book. It is a possibility. And I didn't know anything about Guesthollow, so thank you, I bookmarked it. The Complete book is a possibility too, with some supplements.. Has anyone used America from the Beginning from AIG? It is in the right age range, which seems to be kind of hard to find for what I am looking for- Christian, complete, interesting, lol I love love love America the Beautiful from Notgrass, but its kind of pricey and a little too old for him I think , (maybe) and the time travelers cds look interesting, but I dislike printing everything out. Still they call to me... I am being too picky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarenNH Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 My son's 4th grade history curriculum will be The American Revolution. I've gathered LOTS of resources for us on my pinterest board. Check it out here: http://pinterest.com/carennh/american-revolution/. We're lucky enough to live in New England, so I figured this was the perfect area to begin our homeschooling history study. TONS of opportunities for field trips etc. For example, we'll be heading up to Fort Ticonderoga in upstate New York for their homeschooler day the first weekend of September. Then the "Fort at #4" in New Hampshire has an entire weekend in October devoted to the Revolutionary War, General John Stark (he's the one who said Live Free or Die), mustering the troops etc. We'll also visit Concord and Lexington, Bunker Hill, The Boston Tea Part Museum, and lots of other places.

haleysmommom Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 That is so awesome! I am following your board on pinterest, hope that's OK. We are nowhere near England, but that would be very convenient if we were. :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
