umsami Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Although I will probably enjoy it, I keep procrastinating teaching American History. DS1 is going to be in 5th grade next year, so I was planning on covering it then. (Of course, part of me says this is the perfect time to start the SOTW rotation so I can avoid it for another few years. ) I have an old Sonlight 1 year condensed American History curriculum I can use, as well as the book Calvert uses ("Build Our Nation"). What do you like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Though I can't stand the original version of Hakim's A History of US, the *concise* version from K12 is really good. You can purchase the course to go with it if you want, but we just used the books with lots of supplemental reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeindeed Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 We loved Sonlight Core D+E for American History. I used it with a third and fifth grader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAtoVA Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Winterpromise has a lot of options for teaching American History and most people here who have used their curricula seem to love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkyandtheBrains. Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Build Your Library has American History for 5th grade. http://buildyourlibrary.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmansWife Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Check out Beautiful Feet Early American History Intermediate. It's a bit pricey...but maybe you can get the books from the library. ETA: And you can get these items individually from Rainbow Resource too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
