As we have begun with American history this year, I have noticed that This Country of Ours has more stories of certain people and events than Stories of America vol 1. Should I try to include TCOO’s stories or just do SCM’s Stories of America? I actually prefer to keep things simple and not do all of TCOO. But I feel guilty that I am leaving out some things.
What would you all do or have done?
I would definitely just do Stories of America, for school time. I “might” consider reading TCOO at bedtime or another time during the day, if I just wanted to read something else.
Keep it simple! Remember, they’ll be able to read about other people on their own as they get older. You don’t have to cover everything now.
I don’t want to muddle things up for you, as I know these decisions can weigh on us homeschool moms. But my question would be, how old are your kids? Maybe I can look that up in another post…
My son is 12. My girls are 8, 5, 2. Obviously my younger kids could not sit through all of it, but I like to read aloud our history lessons for the older ones before they narrate. I usually give my son extra independent reading that correlates to our topic throughout the week.
So I guess it is ok to not push TCOO then? I really like the book, but maybe I can include it later or for just independent reading time.
Decisions, decisions….
