Shannon Hall –
We started homeschooling a year ago and this is EXACTLY what I have been looking for for our history. I love that each lesson is short but still includes the essential information. And the fact that you included the Bible is perfect!! I also love the “dig deeper” for extensions.
Thank you!!!
Susie T –
Just what we were looking for! It makes history click for me and my kids.
Yara M –
LOVE this! This way exceeded my expectations! It is such a fun, interesting way to present world history. I love that the lessons can be short and sweet or meatier with dig deeper ideas and links.
Tara –
History is our new favorite subject! Thank you!
Amber –
Love all the options for all sorts of learners. We have such great discussions now that we are all learning together! Bless you!
Alicia –
I love this curriculum! I have been looking for a history curriculum that is in order of the timeline. I couldn’t find anything that mixed both religious history and common history. (If you don’t want that, you can just easily remove the religious content as you go). Finding a curriculum that has both has been nearly impossible and I was thrilled to find this! I am going to mix in other books and movies but the curriculum also has great craft and resource suggestions as well.
Rebekah S. –

Kala –
