Secular Homeschool History: Curiosity Chronicles Update

[michellegf]

great walk through! I really liked how you showed the progression of the books. I think a lot of people miss that each book is meant for a particular level. I too wish we would have started with Ancients in 3rd grade. I hope to get back to it with my younger daughter.

We are currently doing PreHistory and will start this curriculum in about 2 months or so. I appreciate you sharing about not doing everything listed. I am a very all or nothing as well, but I do want to make sure I don’t overwhelm my kiddos. One is older and can hang, but I’ve got a younger child that I am combining and will need to slow down with. Thanks for sharing that you use this four days and what you are doing for your breakdown. It gives me a base for how to chunk up the learning.

Do you have any social studies recommendations for First or Second grade?

Same here. We used Curiosity Chronicles after using History Quest early into our homeschooling journey and I too was overwhelmed with all the options. They all are great but it's just alot. I missed the simplicity of History Quest and the History Hops but my son loves Curiosity Chronicles reading layout better so we decided to stick with it and I have learned how to use it best for us since. I am interested in switching back to History Quest for their new US History Curriculum for a year though. Great video!

the book is actually larger now too. I really like that. We are doing Ancient right now and bought the add on pack. We also have the audio which makes it more interesting. My son really likes it.
