Wow!!!!  I have to say I just love history this year!!!!!!!!!

Veritas Press is the BEST!!!!

We've used Sonlight, Bob Jones, Mystery of History, and Rod & Staff.

This is the first year that I have loved it!  Samantha is doing wonderfully!!  She just loves this program.  We're using the Old Testament/Ancient Egypt set.  On the first day she reads the story disc paper, colors 2 discs, glues one to the paper and one to the map, reads the card, and answers the questions on the worksheet.

The second day she does one of the projects.  Sometimes I let her choose, sometimes I'll be telling her what I want her to do.  Today she made an ARK.  It's cute.  :)

The following day she reads various resources on the topic at hand, using the suggestions on the back of the cards and/or from the catalog.

In the future, on the 4th day there is a test to take.  For now, we're skipping the written test and I'm just asking her questions on day 3.

The following day she starts again with the next card!  I was only going to do history 3 days a week.  She wants to do 5.  We made a deal that history would come last on the other 2 days IF she finishes all her other work.  So far so good!  She can't wait to get to it!  Definitely her favorite subject right now.  :)
