I very much enjoy how we've done History so far. We approach History chronologically and generally raid the library for books that disscuss our subject or biographies. We do a lot of fun projects and map work and have a lot of fun with it.

Next year is 4th grade and we'll be doing American History for almost the first time (we've done a few things but nothing in depth). I would very much like a spine or text with fabulously interesting text b/c so far we have really enjoyed History and don't want it to become a bore with a text book. I also want something that incorporates plenty of books and projects/activities. In addition, I would like something that begins American History before settlement (Pre-contact civilizations thru Viking settlement thru French and English settlement). And if all that isnt' enough, a Catholic perspective would be nice.

Any ideas?

Thanks! How is it with Seton: if I order it and look it over can I return it if I don't like it?

Yes, I believe you can. I only had to return something once, but it was years ago. I'm thinking I'd remember if it had been a bad experience.

Here's their policy:

If an order error was made by Seton we will gladly make the matter right by sending you the correct items and a prepaid return label.
