American History was put on hold because quite frankly, I didn't like where I was going with it. The book I was using while extremely interesting, was a bit "TOO TRUTHFUL" for my younger kids. I'm all for the truth, but sometimes you need to sand the edges so that it doesn't do more harm than good. So I put it aside and I have been looking, searching, for an alternate "spine." AND I HAVE FOUND IT! BUT it's even more work to get it ready . . . so I have put it off . . . SLACKER?? YES, I will accept that title.
The new set is "A History of US" by Joy Hakim. I found most of these at a Used Curriculum sale (bought almost the entire set for less than $18 and a friend had an extra of the one book I was missing). Now I don't know about you but the guides just aren't an option for us due to financial reasons . . . soooo . . . . I am of course trying to come up with a schedule. And I will be mixing in projects from Home School in the Woods' Time Traveler's series. Not all projects will be "covered" at least I don't think we will do them all at this point . . . but they all look so fun we just might decide to do it anyways!
I have a friend demanding I finish ASAP so I will do my best to get something figured out SOON (read this as this week!) and will flush it out a bit as I go. Hang on folks cause it could be a FAST and bumpy ride! :^D
