This just isn’t going to work for us.
It took less than a week for me to realize that the history program we have all laid out for us is not going to work. I do believe the kids would have fun with the activity guide (like these cave paintings) and the hideaways but the content is too abstract. Sure we could work our way through it but instead I’m going to shelf it for awhile and come back to it in a few years when I feel everyone will get more out of it.
So now I’m back to pulling together my own curriculum. After talking with Bug I’ve come up with a new plan… History of Heroes. We are going to focus on biographies… people the kids should know. We will be starting with inventors. Those of you who enjoyed my lessons plans from last year, stay tuned. I will have my first semester list up shortly.
