This is so helpful. The best visually explained video for this history curriculum. I am sold just because of this video. Thank you. 😊

I wish the company would create a student workbook too! I’d pay for yours!!

I may just email them and ask them if they have thought about adding student workbooks. :)

Thank you for this review. I've been so tempted by this program because it's secular, but I couldn't find an in depth review of it. You helped me so much. Thank you. I feel comfortable purchasing it.

You're welcome! I had a similar issue before I purchased it, so I'm glad you found it helpful.

Yes, this does look quite easy to implement. Thanks for showing how it all works, this is one curriculum I have heard of but didn't really know anything about it.

You’re welcome! I am really enjoying using this curriculum and the kids get excited about it too.

Awesome video!! I regret not doing a deeper dive into this curriculum.

Thanks! It was a good curriculum option for us at the time. I have actually moved on from this curriculum (currently using AmblesideOnline's history books) after my son's weren't enjoying the History Hops readings. I could have just skipped over those and kept doing the regular chapters, but we have found the AmblesideOnline's book list to be lots of fun.

I love History Quest too !

Looks so good! Thanks for sharing! Have you tried story of the world. Wondering how it compares since both claim to be story based.

@KidsLearningforLife Жыл бұрын

It’s been about 2 years since I first tried this curriculum and it worked well at first, but I have since stopped using this curriculum. My boys weren’t enjoying some of the History Hops and I started losing interest as well. Jenny has used Story of the World in the past and they do seem very similar, but neither of us has read both to be able to compare. Jenny and I both currently use Ambleside Online’s schedule for a living book approach to history. I am liking the readings much better than History Quest. Hope that is helpful.

This was very helpful. Thank you!! Is Jenny your daughter?

@KidsLearningforLife Жыл бұрын

Haha! 😂 After re-reading my comment, I totally see how it would seem like Jenny is my daughter, but I only have 3 boys. Jenny is my sister-in-law that also makes videos on this channel. She has three daughters with a 4th child on the way! 😊

I found all three of the Gilgamesh as read alouds on youtube. Also I highly recommend the audio book if you struggle to properly pronounce ancient names and places (like I do). lol

What type of supplies do you need ? Is it mostly things that most people would have around the house?

@KidsLearningforLife 2 жыл бұрын

You can see the supplies list @6:45, but most things can be found around the house. There are some specialty items (like whole wheat berries or a clay pot) but the book even tells you that if you skip an activity here or there because you don’t have the materials, that’s ok.

Is there a way to share the two pages you made as a printable?

@KidsLearningforLife 2 жыл бұрын

Sure! Here are the three pages I made to go into the student notebooks: drive.google.com/file/d/1L5ofdWb-ENgsJjueW7g_PltbssQoFOct/view?usp=sharing

How many weeks is the curriculum?

@KidsLearningforLife Ай бұрын

When I used it, I did one unit per week. There are 27 units, but there were also the 4 Hygge History readings that took 1 week each. So, I would say 31 weeks long.
