We’re shifting gears into ancient world history and here are a few of the materials we’re currently using.
I am starting a series where I share our Story of the World adventures. We started when my son was 7, and went very slowly at first, adjusting lessons to his short attention span. The next year we joined up with a co-op doing this Volume, and went at a much faster pace, so later chapters (7 and on) show that somewhat. I took notes and am gradually adding these as I have time. Sorry for the slow place on adding new units. NOTE: I don't want anyone to think you HAVE to do all the supplementary stuff we did for SOTW. Many people just read the chapters and talk about them, maybe do an extra activity now and then. We did so much at first because I have a kiddo that needed that to get him engaged, and also because I love history and just wanted to do some of these things with him. But as we progressed we gradually did less projects and supplementing. STORY OF THE WORLD POSTS All of my Story of the World posts will be linked below, once they're published.
