So, tell me more about SOTW! I've got it on my curriculum list for my 2 youngest next year. But I'm torn between SOTW and Child's History of the World. I want something "relaxed" that I can read to the kids like a story/book...and maybe add in some activities and videos if we hit on something they want more information on. Nothing too formal as other subjects will be be structured and focused and challenging.
I'll be planning lessons 7 weeks at a time next year. I'm liking it! We'll have 7 weeks on and 1 week off (except for one spring session that will be 6 weeks.) Although I have ROUGH IDEAS for all the sessions, I've been focusing on just the first.
