Evan-Moor Hisotry Pocket Review

We just started into our first week of using the Evan-Moor Hisotry Pockets.

I just wanted to let you all know how much I like them. We are using History Pockets Ancient Civilizations.

I was overwelmed at first looking at everything, thinking it was going to be so time consuming and... perhaps a little too much.

Someone online linked me to this great schedule. It is linked with Sonlight Core 1. I wish I could tell you who made this chart but I cannot. I am just putting it here for reference and if someone else would benefit from it.

The schedule is spread out over the year pretty nicely so it is not like we do a pocket project every day. it is just a nice crafty project. Also simple enough for those with no craftiness. Just color, cut, paste etc. Kids love it and we get to feel good :)

Another good thing is how they are reproducible! $10 something for the book from Amazon and you can use it over and over! I am certain there are more History Pockets in our future years of homeschooling. This is a really nice product.
