From Sea to Shining Sea(The Catholic Textbook Project)

I throughly enjoyed visiting history with my kids with this book.  We traveled to visit the Mayans, through the American Revolution, Civil War and so much more. It is the Story of America. This book is written in a narrative form, as if you are reading a book which is what drew us into it.  Hands of a Child sells a lap book which we used with the text which I highly recommend.  The Catholic Schools Textbook project, sells the text, a teacher's manual, and CD workbook.  The workbook is highly effective for left brained learners.  Since I have two right brained learners we used the lap book, created unit studies, along with using the questions in the teachers manual to notebook with.  This is the first textbook series that I have seen written from a catholic perspective.  My kids enjoyed learning about American History from this perspective.

What age were your kids when you used this?

Governor and Voting

I rarely put up political posts but today I will.  Today my son voted for the first time in our NJ primary for governor.  It has saddened me...
