Hi! First of all, thank you for the WONDERFUL resources on SCM. I love this method and all of the ideas and products you provide! I am so excited to use what I am planning for this fall. I have a second grader and a four-year-old. I would like to give a big picture of history this year. (Last year we did a little U.S. History only.) I was thinking of doing a little from each module you have on your website. What would you suggest from the resources from each module in order to accomplish the big picture or give a little taste of each time period? I thought maybe one book from each module would be plenty? Thanks so much for your response!
Only have a minute right now, but just wanted to say that I have done a history overview with my dd6 this year – we opted not to use any SCM materials this year just becuase I do plan to dive into the history mods later. Anyhow, I blogged about what I am doing here: http://snowfallacademy.blogspot.fr/search/label/History
We kept it really simple in part because my dd is still developing her narration skills and in part because I am in school part time this year and I’d tear my hair out if we DIDN’T keep it really simple. =)
Have you looked at Epi Kardia — I believe their history is ancient to modern each year. You might try looking at their history curriculum to see if that’s the kind of thing you are looking for.
