My 8 year-old is finishing Sonlight B World History 1 this week. We used the History, Bible and Literature portion of B. He also finished Sonlight Reading/Language Arts 1 and has just started Reading 2.
For Sonlight B, he really enjoyed the Hands-on History Box. The glue that came in the box was not very good, but we easily used a hot glue gun. Every project worked and the instructions were really good. His favorite projects were:
- the Chinese dragon
- the Trojan horse
- the Roman chariot
Our favorite from the Bible portion:
- The Ology - this was a great book. As a Lutheran, I was worried about it conflicting with what we believe, but it didn't. We both enjoyed this book
Our favorites from the History portion:
- A Child's History of the World - he retold some of the stories I read to him from this book. I thought these stories might be too complicated for him, but he liked them and understood them just fine
- Tut's Mummy, Lost and Found
- The Great Wall of China
Our favorites from the Literature portion:
- National Geographic Book of Animal Poetry
- Mr. Popper's Penguins
- The Year of Miss Agnes
- Word of Mouse
- Henry Huggins
- Charlotte's Web
- Happy Times in Noisy Village
He had a hard time telling me which book was his favorite (I think he liked almost all of them), but he says Henry Huggins was his favorite.
Timeline Book
- I liked this more than he did, but I think it's because he can't quite grasp time periods in history yet.
Books he had a hard time with:
- Mountain Born
- Catching Their Talk in a Box
- Sing the Word: A New Commandment (music CD)
