We really love learning history through living books. This program had an appealing format for their main 'text books' and a lineup of books that I thought we'd enjoy. The addition of the songs and rhymes was a fun extra I thought we'd enjoy as well.

Would you buy this if you only had a 4th grader going through it? I see it’s for grades 1-4. Would I be wasting my money to start late?
BEST ANSWER: Absolutely! It's a delightful one-year course and both you and your 4th grader will love it. The grades 1-4 designation just means there are adaptations so you can use it with younger students also - say, if your 4th grader had a 2nd grade sibling.

Hello! I have 2 questions about this curriculum. First of all, I would be using it with a 2nd grader and a kindergartener next year. In your opinion, would kindergarten be too young for this history program? I'm not expecting my younger one to get as much out of it, but I also don't want the material to go completely over his head. Second, do you think this program could possibly be split over 2 years if all of the projects and activites were completed? We only have 3.5 days per week for school becasue my kiddos attend school on Tuesdays through an HSAP program and we attend Bible Study Fellowship on Wednesdays. Due to this, I am thinking of only spending 2 days per week on social studies. Thanks so much for any help you can give!
BEST ANSWER: I have been using this curriculum with a 3rd grader, a 1st grader and a preschooler this year. I don't always require my preschooler to listen to the lesson (some of them can drag for younger kids), but she loves listening to the songs and participating in the crafts. The program has suggested literature to read aloud in addition to the lessons, and my children have loved every book that we have read so far. We already had other books that I wanted to use for read alouds, so we take a few weeks off from lessons about every two months and spend that time reading the literature instead. Because we did that we are only halfway through the program, so we're planning on finishing the rest next year. The units have 4 parts to them: 3 lessons and a larger craft project. We only have time for 3 days of history a week, so we've been trying to do the last lesson and craft project on the same day, but it makes for a long day. I think spreading a unit out over two weeks where you do two lessons one week and one lesson and the craft on the other week would be an awesome way to split it up. At that rate you would only make it through half the curriculum in a year. It's been a fun program for us. My favorite part has been the songs/poems that are included with most of the lessons. My kids love listening to them and it has helped them remember things that we talked about earlier in the year.

Perfect for elementary ages
I absolutely loved using this curriculum this past year. Everything is laid out really well for the parent, from a list of all craft supplies for the year to a pronunciation guide and everything else. It teaches history in a simple manner for younger kids to understand but without skipping over anything. I highly recommend the extra literature package as we truly enjoyed the books.

Wonderful resource & company!
Our family has loved using Our Star-Spangled Story as our primary history resource this year 7 & 11 year-old boys. Better than the resource itself is the company (family) behind it. The Notgrass History company is dedicated to homeschooling families, and you will not find better customer service.

This is a Beautiful history for elementary grades
We really love this history. I am using this for my 7, almost 8 year old son. It's engaging, and has a fun work book, and is not overwhelming. The stories are well told, and the books that you can purchase to read are fun and engaging as well. Highly recommend this history to anyone! (Side note, I am using America the Beautiful with my 11 year old daughter)
