Beautiful Feet Early American Homeschool History Curriculum

Homeschool History Curriculum Review
I have been homeschooling my 2 girls for about 4 years now and am so excited to be using this curriculum again. It is a literature-based homeschool history program - and very economical. I believe the teacher's manual is about $15. Many of the books used in this program can be found at your local library. I really wanted to own the books, but did not have the budget to spend on buying them all new through the Beautiful Feet website. I was, however, able to find most of them in used homeschool bookstores or online. The books used are all well-written and kept the interest of my girls (and me!). Not only do we read books together, but the student then records information they've learned into their own history notebook. I love that at the end of the year, my girls end up with a lovely book that they can show to friends & family to help display what they've learned. In fact, my girls still love to look through their old books just for fun! I believe this book is recommended for 1-3rd grade and I will say that I did it with my girls in 1 grade. It worked out very well for us for the most part. I did skip some of the "older" work such as report writing, etc. but for the most part, we followed the curriculum to a t. If you want to get the most out of this curriculum, I recommend waiting until they are in 3rd grade. (Though, as I mentioned, I did it with my girls when they were younger and absolutely loved it!!) Great review, Shannon! Thanks for sharing this literature-based homeschool history curriculum with others. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated! Blessings, Heather :) PS We used this curriculum when my two oldest were younger and enjoyed it as well!
