Okay, Greenebalts, I will have to look into Lessons from History. I am not familiar with that one. We do SCM and really enjoy it but I would love to get a bigger view of the history period and have a spine to pull from and some commentary to use if I find it beneficial! I just loved the list you shared. I loved the lined pages where the kids wrote and colored a picture. I kove your ideas! We aren’t a big “crafty” family but my kids are creative and would really enjoy adding in something like that! Thanks so much for sharing!
