Adventures in America
An Introduction to American History for the Early Grammar Stage

Primary School - ages 5-9, or grades K-4

You can purchase a teacher manual and student text from http://www.elementalhistory.com/
I suggest a print version of the teacher manual.  Should be well worth the extra $5!
In order to complete the State Studies, you will need a copy of Smart About the Fifty States (Smart About History).
You will also need set of US State and Territory Assorted Stickers (120 Pack) Please note that there are really only 60 stickers in this package, not 120.

There are many additional reading suggestions throughout the year.  Included here are three lists of books: Student Readers are for students in grades 1-4 who can read beginning readers ranging from Level 1-5; Read Alouds are chapter books read aloud to students at about a chapter a day, five days per week; Related Picture Books are for reading aloud to younger students who do not yet have the attention span to listen to chapter books with few pictures.  Most of the picture books, if not all, can be found in the public library.  You may also borrow the readers and chapter books from the library, or you can purchase them.  Links are provided for ordering through SFA's amazon store.  You might also search for used copies at yard sales, used book stores, or online.
