February 5, 2008 - History Odyssey

Posted by Donna in TX


Does HO still use Kingfisher History Ency.? I noticed it's not listed on your Reading Plan. I was considering using Middle Ages Level 2 for DD's 8th grade but now I'm waiting for the revised LCC to see the new book suggestions. HO looks nice (a nice break from having to put my own plans together).
