2ND GRADE
Adventures in U.S. History
- Travel back in time and explore U.S. history and patriotic symbols from a Christian perspective
- Learn through fascinating stories, hands-on activities, a timeline, and a student-created history notebook.
- Curriculum also includes U.S. geography, Bible, science, art, music, and more.
- Easy-to-teach lesson plans guide you through each day.
- Also suitable for a 3rd grader who is the oldest or only child in the family and has never studied U.S. History; World Changers is generally recommended for 3rd grade.
Does your 2nd grader have older siblings that you teach?
- 2nd graders with a 3rd grade sibling skip Adventures in U.S. History and join their sibling in World Changers.
- 2nd or 3rd graders with 4th-8th grade siblings skip Adventure in U.S. History and join in their siblings' current program in the Family Learning Cycle. This ensures that a parent is only teaching one program for all 2nd-8th graders. The U.S. history in Adventures in U.S. History is covered again in Exploration to 1850 and 1850 to Modern Times in greater detail. 2nd or 3rd graders in these two curricula use a supplement that includes many books from Adventures in U.S. History.

Reviews
We started Adventures last month. I have to say I LOVE it! I love that my two-year-old and four-year-old can join in for much of it. I love that it's all laid out for me and that it's real books and not workbooks.

It is very thorough, yet gentle. It is an amazing introduction to American history for this age group.

It is hands down the absolute BEST year of homeschool I've ever had! It is wiggle friendly and completely manageable.

We have been using My Father's World since kindergarten and have enjoyed each year as much or more than the one before!

U.S. History to 1877 is a one-year curriculum for high school that integrates U.S. history, government, English, and Bible (3 full-year credits).
Throughout the year, students will develop a biblical worldview in their daily life, in areas such as history, economics, law, and science.
This curriculum focuses on the time of early exploration to the Civil War and dives into the structures and functions of the U.S. Government through reading historical documents, political speeches, and literature written during that time period.
