    History wasn’t my favorite when I was in school. Now I’m fascinated by it!!!

    • @HomeschoolwithJen
      @HomeschoolwithJen  Před 3 lety

      History is awesome. We have so much fun with the possibilities of what we can do while studying it. Thank you for watching. Have a great day!

  • @thesparrowlilyschoolhouse

    I really appreciate your honesty about the teacher’s guide. Also, I love all the extra resources you brought in to bring the subject alive!

  • @mylittlehomeschoolinthewoods

    My daughter used America's Story last year :) She did not like the worksheets very much either. Loved your review!

    • @HomeschoolwithJen
      @HomeschoolwithJen  Před 3 lety

      Thank you! Yes, the worksheets were definitely not our favorite. Thank you for the encouragement. I really appreciate it. Have a great day!

    This was really helpful as I was debating whether I wanted to get this. Love that you dug deeper where you wanted.

      Thank you so much for letting me know! We just finished AS 2 and I'm working on the same type of video for AS 2. Thanks, again!

  • @happilyhomeschoolinginiowa455

    It is so nice that as homeschoolers we have so many options allowing us to find the right fit for our kids. I think we need to do more timelines. I love pocket books

    • @HomeschoolwithJen
      @HomeschoolwithJen  Před 3 lety

      Thank you for watching. Yes, the Evan Moor History Pockets are wonderful. I would do one all the time if it was feasible. We learn so much and they reinforce the material in a hands-on way. Have a great day!

  • @LivingWithEve
    @LivingWithEve Před 3 lety +1

    Masterbook did not work for us, but we did not try American Story though. The timeline sounds very helpful. I always enjoyed though.

    • @HomeschoolwithJen
      @HomeschoolwithJen  Před 3 lety

      Thank you for watching. We use MasterBooks for history, geography, and science. I like it for these subjects (mostly) since we can bring in other materials that we think are interesting. I watched your MB video and think we would be on the same page regarding the LLFLE. Have a great day!

  • @christinagould1636
    @christinagould1636 Před 3 lety

    Wow, I hadn't heard of any of these resources. I bookmarked all of them. Thanks for posting!

    • @HomeschoolwithJen
      @HomeschoolwithJen  Před 3 lety +1

      You are very welcome! Thank you for watching and letting me know that the video was helpful. I really appreciate the feedback. Have a great day!

  • @SevenInAll
    @SevenInAll Před 3 lety +1

    I really like your idea of changing it a bit and creating a timeline all the way across one long wall, that would be fun!

  • @MichelleGayScienceTeacher

    Loved the presentations!! LOL, of course she won.❤️I love teaching and learning history.

    • @HomeschoolwithJen
      @HomeschoolwithJen  Před 3 lety

      Us too! History and science are our 2 favorite. Yes, of course she won. She's just a little competitive :).

    Do you know they sell the audio book for car schooling...its great

  • @amandab.6815
    @amandab.6815 Před 3 lety

    I think a timeline book would be a good idea. If you kept it in a binder, you could add a page wherever it needs to go.

    Your videos are so informative. We are a family of three too. My son starts kindergarten in September.

    Would you buy the teacher’s guide for anything or do you feel it is completely unnecessary?

    • @HomeschoolwithJen
      @HomeschoolwithJen  Před rokem

      Gerat question! I actually use the teacher's guides for many subjects. I just didn't feel it was necessary for this curriculum.

  • @TheCookingChronicleswithIngrid

    We love history but I also love writing but it may not be everyone's cup of tea LOL! Great review Jennifer!those who was it books are so awesome! By the way I am a Jeep Girl too ours is a patriot we named him Tom(Brady) LOL!

    • @HomeschoolwithJen
      @HomeschoolwithJen  Před 3 lety

      Thank you! I'll have to tell my husband about your Jeep, Tom :)

  • @faithgracehomeschool1797

    Not into a lot of writing around here either 😅🤣
    We are skipping those timeline pages that are at the end of each chapter! We do love everything else in the teacher manual. Great review 😊

    • @HomeschoolwithJen
      @HomeschoolwithJen  Před 3 lety

      HAHAHAHA! We still aren't big fans of writing, but we love history. Thank you for watching and commenting. I'm glad that you enjoyed the video. Are you going to do AS 2 next year????

    • @HomeschoolwithJen
      @HomeschoolwithJen  Před 3 lety +1

      I found them on Amazon. I just included the link in the description. Thank you so much for watching. Hope you have a great day!

  • @allyh193
    @allyh193 Před 3 lety

    Did you read the book to your student or did they read it on their own? My boys do enjoy history. 😊

    • @HomeschoolwithJen
      @HomeschoolwithJen  Před 3 lety

      Both. We read it together most of the time. If she read it on her own, then we would discuss. Thank you for watching! Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Have a great day!

  • @creatingcommunity7022

      LOL! I'm becoming a project kind of girl for history. We had so much fun with them. Have a great day.
