I am a homeschool mom who has a 4th grade boy and a 1st
grade girl. I currently use Covenant Home Curriculum for
both kids for their language. I have recently ordered Artes
Latinae for my son to begin after we met a brick wall in
Latin using the Latin Primer 1 which, in my opinion, is
very poorly written and should NOT be recommended for us
homeschoolers.I am very interested in seeing what other
options are out there for us, specifically in science and
history. We are not unit study people but enjoy both
subjects greatly.I like the Veritas Press idea of studying
history with both texts and literature but not sure I want
to start it with my son next year in 5th grde. I am most
interested in more academically challenging curriculum with
a teacher-friendly format ( e.g. lesson plans). I am now
using A Beka for everything except language as I mentioned.
I have seen the Critical Thinking Skills books that Trivium
suggests but am not sure how to use them with my 4th grade
son.

Would love some help!! Lisa
