This package includes these 49 items:
This alternate one-year program was designed for use by families who want to begin using Sonlight Curriculum with children in 4th through 7th grades and want to study American History. (Normally, American History takes two years, and starts in our Core 3 program.) You may wish to use this program, with modification, as the basis for teaching more than one child in 3rd through 8th grades.
Curriculum Summary:
A bit less thorough than the full curricula of the "Two-Year Intro to American History" (Core 3 and Core 4), this combined program will, nevertheless, provide an excellent and enjoyable overview of U.S. history from the very earliest period of European settlement till today.
This program is relatively easy to adapt to a broad range of ages for at least two reasons. 1) Because the history is somewhat familiar. 2) Because most American public libraries have lots of additional materials on the same subjects. This can help you enrich older students' programs, or substitute easier volumes for the younger ones.
Please note that the Bible program is not included in the Core package anymore. However, Bible readings are still scheduled in the Instructor's Guides. See the Bible 3 program.
Does not include any of the Required Resources or Recommended Resources. No Four-Day alternative available. This is a full program!
To get full descriptions of the following books, please look at their listings in the appropriate sections of the regular "Two-Year Intro to American History, Part I" and "Two-Year Intro to American History, Part II" Core listings.
Estimated time requirement on a five-day-per-week/180-day-per-year schedule: Child: 3 1/2-5 hrs/ day; Parent: 2-3 hrs/day direct involvement plus availability for remainder of time. This program combines well with Core 100.
