"I believe homework in elementary school should be extremely limited. It is appropriate for learning multiplication tables, spelling words and test review. It is also helpful in training kids to remember assignments, bring books home and complete them as required. But to load them down night after night with monotonous work is to invite educational burnout." ~James Dobson
The Story of the World: Volume 1: Ancient Times, by Susan Wise Bauer. The Story of the World with its accompanying Activity Book and Test Packet is a complete history curriculum for one year. We recommend a history encyclopedia as well, like the Usborne Internet-Linked Encyclopedia, Usborne Book of World History, the Kingfisher Illustrated History of the World, or the Kingfisher History Encyclopedia. The main advantage to these encyclopedias are the wonderful pictures. You can also read literature that relates to the time period (5000 BC to 400 AD).
