US History 1 Review from Gather Round Early Elementary & Early Reader

We took about 6 weeks to go through the 20 lessons in this US History 1 from Gather Round. I wasn’t sure if we’d like it, having already done and LOVED Early American History from Beautiful Feet Books as well as touched on Masterbooks America’s story 1. Unit one covers through the French and Indian War.

I wanted to see how it might present History (especially knowing it comes through a biblical world view), and also how my kids would engage with the worksheets. I was worried it would feel like busy work, but we adapted this to work for us since we are just using this unit for History and not as our full curriculum like it’s intended.

Overall I liked it, and thought it was beautifully put together and allowed me to facilitate some great conversations with my 2nd and 3rd grader. Next unit we will do is US History 2…all the way through 6.

Second half of the video I’ll take you through a few lessons to see the differences in the early reader vs early elementary student packs.
