    • Logic Stage: History and Geography

    Camille is working on the fourth year od Story of the World this year and will be ready to start the sequence over again next year. While Chloe will be using The Story of the World and its student pages, Camille needs something new. TWTM stresses outlining and timelines for fifth grade history. They suggest a notebook with nine sections and some memorization work. I’ll have to review the resources weekly to see that we catch the important topics.

    So far the best thing that I’ve found for her is

  • History Odyssey from Pandia Press.

    For geography, I think we will work on Western Europe next year. We will choose a country every three weeks to study, as well as working on memorizing maps and capitals.

  • History Odyssey and Timelines
  • A Little History of the World by EH Gombrich
  • The Story of Mankind by Hendrik Willem Van Loon
  • The Kingfisher History Encyclopedia
  • Europe Geography Units

    For later:

  • The History of US by Joy Hakim
