    I have a kindergartener and a 2nd grader this year.

    I have kind of done my own thing for science and history for the past 2 years and this year. I have gotten some books and ideas for history, geography, Bible from Simply Charlotte Mason (SCM). I also used their outdoor secrets set one spring. I have used some of Berean Builders science in the beginning. I have also written my own plans for an around the world science and history study for kindergarten and Greek+Roman history last year. We are currently doing the Middle Ages study from SCM and hopefully finishing Berean builders science in the beginning this year. I am also looking at doing parts of Little Hearts to Heaven with my kindergartener who doesn’t like to sit still.

    I would like to do American history next year perhaps with a bit of world history for context but not necessarily. I would like ro combine both kids (1st and 3rd). I want more hands on projects than SCM schedules. I am lousy at adding them in and I think my next year 1st grader needs/likes hands on. My older does great with read and narrate (and has since kindergarten) but my younger does not. I also am thinking more of a unit study approach would be nice…perhaps combining history, science, geography, art, music… I have phonics and math and that I love already.

    Any thoughts?? With reviews (pros and cons) please;) (I do have some ideas but i want to hear what you all think.) Also I would call myself ecclectic with CM and classical leanings so recommendations don’t have to be strictly CM;)

    PS I will have a toddler and baby next year too;)

    Hi Roslyn,

    Have you seen the links and tips for each history resource available from SCM?  The links include extra book suggestions, projects, etc.   If you haven’t seen them, the links can be found on each individual history guide page about 1/3 of the way down.
