Crissy Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 We use the library for history. I have a timeline and we read non-fiction, historical fiction and biographies corresponding to each point on the timeline that I want to cover.

Patricia in WA Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I used SOTW for grammar stage and now we are using HO (modified) for logic stage. I have also just added Galore Park's Junior History for my grammar stage son. Good poll. I just love the new boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karensk Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 ...and for early American history, we're using Beautiful Feet. The two history courses are not correlated or connected w/each other at all. This is for ds in 5th and dd in 3rd. I really like the little checkboxes on the polls in this new format! :) Karen K. in Tx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateLeft Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 SOTW for 1st - 4th, then Ambleside from 5th on. We'll probably do another 4 year cycle for 9th-12th. We also do lots of other history reading on stuff we're interested in. This year, I've got one using SOTW 1, one in SOTW 4 and one in AO 7! Lots of good stuff!

Darcy in FL Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 My 2nd grader uses SOTW/AG - loves it. My 5th grader is starting to use History Odyssey. I'm probably in the minority here, but I downloaded the 3 week sample of TOG to use before Christmas with the kids....although I enjoyed that there was so much to pick from- it still felt like too much for me (personally) to try to pull together. DS (the 5th grader) loves History Odyssey and it's going well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffeefreak Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 This is my first post on the new board! :) We use Veritas Press. We're currently doing Old Testament/Ancient Egypt (2nd grade).

Linda (Australia) Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 For elementary History, Story of the World is our all-time favourite! For Australian History, we use 'Australia the Wide Brown Land for Me!' (yeh, yeh so I"m biased -seeings how I wrote it) ;) For the upper levels, we're starting the 'ABCs of Christian Culture' this year; really looking forward to it, as it presents history from a Catholic perspective, and we can incorporate it with the TWISS / IEW writing lessons.

Lizzie in Ma Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 We are using for the 2nd year Mystery of History with Truthquest. This for 5th, 6th, and 7th. Regrettably I will need to find something else for 8th as MOH 4 will not yet be out. Beginning SOTW and AG with younger one next year.

Mom2jnb Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hi All, I just wanted to say this is our first year hsing.

Susie in CA Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 We use SOTW but really think to do it justice you need to use the Activity Guide. With all the book suggestions and activities and maps and? it is so worth it. JMHO, Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lori in tx Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Been using TOG for 3 years and love it. I feel like we finally have found something made for us, before I found it we never did history like we should. It has helped me to overcome my public school education and get over all the political stuff that was taught to me. blessings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closeacademy Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 We have used STOW and liked it but got bogged down in the medieval period. I tried TOG to fix that but it didn't work for us. I love TOG and want to use it for High School. Right now, since my children basically hated the whole medieval period and they don't like Columbus or the pilgrims either. We are just sort of exploring history through good books. We are reading the D'Aulaire biographies, the American Girl book and a few other books about early America that you see on lists. We just finished The Courage of Sarah Noble.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
