We are at week 3 of the Virtual Curriculum fair hosted @ Homeschooling Heart and Minds.
This week we are tackling Social Studies.
I am still using Tapestry of Grace as our main Social Studies curriculum. Have I mentioned before how I love Tapestry? I think I have. So I am not going to repeat myself yet again, but instead refer you to my different posts describing and telling you why I love it.
So here we go:
Virtual Curriculum 2013: Learning About our World
Virtual Curriculum 2012: Social Studies and Science - What Do We Do?
5 Days of Curriculum Evaluation: Tapestry of Grace
Top Ten Reasons Why We Love Tapestry
Now, my oldest loves History so he has no problem (and actually loves) following along our path on Tapestry. My youngest, on the other hand, is not a history fan, so he does not follow along as well. So, with that in mind, I do not make him do all of the assignments TOG requires. I only give him some of the history readings as I see fit. I also give him the literature readings and corresponding worksheets to do, and some of the map work. That said, because he does not follow the curriculum fully, I decided to supplement with some Geography studies with him.
He has completed a "My Book of Continent mini unit" last week, which I found on Currclick for free. Now he is working on a workbook on Geography by Brighter Child : World Geography.
They still both enjoy listening to Story of World as a complement to our History Studies.
