Review Detail

We have loved America the Beautiful this year! My 8th grade daughter (we've homeschooled for 3 years, she loves textbooks!) uses it, mostly independently, and she completes all of the assigned activities on a daily basis. She enjoys it and has never complained - not even the writing (which has been a major point of contention in the past)! It usually takes her close to an hour to read the daily lesson/We The People and complete the Mapwork, Timeline, Student Workbook, Lesson Review questions, Thinking Biblically and Creative Writing. We haven't used every recommended literature book this year, but the ones we have were excellent! The only issue we're having is disappointment in not being able to finish the entire study in one year! We are year-round schoolers and we will still not make it all the way through. (That being said, if you don't have high school looming, taking more than a year to complete this curriculum would be a wonderful decision - worthwhile and fulfilling!) But what she has studied will stay with her and she's learned a lot and strengthened skills that she was less-than-confident in before - and that's what really matters!
