mountains27 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Hello, I know there must be a lot of posts on this subject but I'm adding one more :) I was thinking I want to add in some more history and geography work for my 9 year old and am looking for some good curriculum ideas. It must be secular and have some structured workbook or activities to go with it- coloring pages are great but looking for a little more then just that. If it ties in some geography I'd be even happier! I've looked at SOTW and that looks OK but want some other opinions and ideas also. Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama25angels Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Have you looked at History Odyssey? I've heard that Build Your Library is good and Classical House of Learning Literature is another good one and it's free. HTH! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 History Odyssey incorporates geography with history, and it uses the SOTW volumes for the younger grades but a different set of maps (I think; I don't have both HO and the SOTW guides for the same SOTW volumes). I really like both 50 States and Where to Find Them and Trail Guides to US/World Geography. Together, they make a really great geography program for US, with literature, mapping, trivia, state symbols (the cardinal seems to be the state bird quite often!), a little history, and discussion of geographical terms. You can be cursory or go in depth with more research on a state too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 K12 as independents works here. It's like an interactive SOTW. Worth every penny. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartlikealion Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 It's actually aimed at K-2nd graders, but Elemental History (Adventures in America) incorporates geography. Each week there are two state worksheets. You label the capital, list a few facts from the Smart About the Fifty States book and add the flag sticker to the page. We use this along with Seterra. I misplaced our Kindle Fire, but have a map app on there, too. We also have USA Bingo lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
