Alternatives to SOTW 4, with youngers....

[Another Lynn]

I know this has been discussed on the old board (and probably here too). I'll have a 4th, 1st and K next year (not to mention 3 yo and newborn). My oldest will *die* if we don't stick to plan and cover modern history next year. (He loves Napoleon, Civil War, WWI, WWII - well all wars, LOL - typical boy stuff). I was thinking of using Truthquest guides (American History for young students part of II and all of III) with everyone and let my oldest ds read or listen to SOTW vol4 (cds) on his own.

Anyone else do this? Plan to do this? Or have other ideas of how to cover the era with younger ones tagging along?

Also - anyone use the Truthquest guides I'm talking about? - do you recommend them?

Thanks!

Sounds like it would work well for your situation.

Oh my goodness! Thank you for posting this - I did not see it the first time around. I'm very hopeful it will be out this summer!

Thanks!
