This volume travels through time beginning with Queen Victoria’s England to the end of the Soviet Union (USSR.) Each class will focus on a few topics with lecture, pictures, and some fun stories. Each student will work on a lapbook throughout the session to be completed by the end as well as some fun crafts and class presentations along with way.

Regarding Videos: Please keep in mind that although I usually preview all videos, there may be some that you need to view yourself to make sure you approve of the material.  Especially the longer videos, I don’t always have time to watch every minute prior to posting.  All videos are intended to engage the child in the subject being taught.  If it doesn’t work for your child, feel free to not let them watch.

Weekly Timeline below is subject to change depending upon the ebb and flow of an in-person class. Class discussions, presentations, completing class work all play a factor in determining how fast (or slow) we move through the chapters.
