Changing up the History Rotation?

I was wondering if anyone mixes up their history rotation by alternating days of American and World/Ancient History. I have dd6, ds8 and dd10. Dd10 went through American History for a couple of years before I switched to the Ancients and added the younger ones into the rotation. I find myself wanting my youngers to experience some of that good ole’ American/ Revolutionary/ Pioneer Spirit now while they are so little instead of waiting for a while until we get to the American/modern times in our rotation. I don’t necessarily want to drop Ancient Greece (Our spine is Guerber/Miller’s Story of the Greeks), but I want to have some American History days per week too.
If you do this, how do you do it?
When we are studying the Ancients (modules 1-3), I schedule the age appropriate books from modules 5 and 6 as leisure reading. By the time we actually get to modules 5 and 6 they will be ready for the next age level of books 🙂 and haven’t missed a thing.

I’ve heard of families doing a semester of American history and a semester of world history each year. That way you aren’t jumping back and forth so often.
