Apr. 27, 2008 - Time Travelers Series

Posted by Anonymous

We use Amy Pac's Time Traveler series and love it!

Here's what I like about it:
1. Everything is layed out for you
2. The lessons are short and interesting
3. The activities are well designed and fun
4. They come on a cd-rom so it doesn't take up shelf space and you can print as you go. Also, it's easier to print from cd-rom than to make a copy from a book
5. The artwork is beautiful
6. The cost is very reasonable
7. The history is accurate
8. It can be used with multiple children at the same time or multiple times
9. It really makes history come alive

Here's what I struggle with it:
1. My son is not a big "coloring in" type person so I have to learn to let him leave his projects "black and white" so to speak. (Now, my daughter, on the other hand, loves to color so I'm sure that when she's old enough to use it that I will be learning to wait on her to finish because she'll want to color every minut detail LOL)
2. Sometimes we get bogged down doing some of the larger projects and I have had to learn to just continue with the next lessons while finishing up the larger projects during free times
3. Where to put all these projects? LOL!

Anyway, I hope this might help you decide whether to try out the Time Travelers series.

Have a great day!
