Ok History for 2 Grades
My kids like doing the 'classes' together and I think I might like some of the subjects that way also.
SO..... I am getting Apologia Science to look at.... and I wanted to know if anyone has done anything such as History with the 2 grades. I want a program/plan because being new I don't want to do all the planning for these things. I don't mind some planning but want easy steps etc. Like with the science - it's pretty straight forward but I have a textbook that is the teacher manual/student manual and then notebooking pages are actually on the Apologia website.

Have you looked at Story of the World? They don't have planning, but the activity book is pretty straight forward. Lays out all the questions, extra litature ideas, ect. I think it could easily be used for 2 grades.

Yes, when you have more than one, you almost HAVE to do some subjects together!
We do history, geography and Bible together. For awhile when they were younger, I did the boys English and Science together too. SOTW and MOH are the history choices that I'd recommend also. They're great for the ages your children are!

Check out Mystery of History. People here recommended it to me and I love it. You can teach any grades together. There are age appropriate activities for all!

Yep. That.
 We do history, science, bible together, and geography as it relates to each of those subjects. Plus some family reading time. Mine are 8, then 3 and 4.

I ordered the Story of the World one - fingers crossed it will work well. I got the book and then the extra book off Amazon (gift card)....
Geography right now we are learning the states. Plain and simple..... my 5th grader didn't know maine was in the US....and for some reason I had a problem with that So now - it looks like we'll do History, Science, and Latin together (which was hilarious today since we learned the word 'toga' and selvete 'hello' so they walked around saying hello and yelling toga to every living thing for awhile)

My younger two (the oldest was too old and was doing other things) absolutely LOVED Story of the World! We did sooo much with it. Their Ancient History Notebook is bulging with all sorts of neat stuff, and there are many great memories!
Is "the extra book" the Activity book? That's a must have!!! It adds so much and truly makes history come alive!
