F.A.Q. for our Jr. Early American History Curriculum

This curriculum can be used for grades 4-8, although it may also be appropriate for some advanced 3rd graders. We will be releasing our K-3 level for early American history soon, so you can better judge where to place a younger student.

Younger grades may need more parental involvement. You may also wish to read some of the books out loud or use audiobooks, especially for reluctant readers.

It may be more appropriate for SOME 8th graders to use our high school level with the middle school adaptations we suggest. Those suggestions can be found in the beginning of the printable high school level schedule. You should look at the booklists for both levels to judge which fits your student’s reading ability, time commitments, etc. Here are the two booklists:

Jr. Early American History Book and Resource List

High School American History Year 1 Book and Resources List

Another option for an 8th grader is to use the high school level BUT replace that level’s spine book (A Patriot’s History) with Beowulf’s Big Book of Early American History (which can be purchased separately here).

Crafty kids will appreciate the fact that the Jr. Early American History Curriculum has a LOT more crafts, art, and hands-on activity options than the high school level.

If you have any questions about placement after looking at the 2 booklists, you can always post on our Facebook History Curriculum page.

We strongly suggest that you view every item linked or used in this curriculum to make sure it meets with your approval.

We don’t have a scope and sequence written up, but you can get an idea of many of the topics covered in Jr. Early American History by looking at the curriculum booklist and looking at the table of contents for Beowulf’s Big Book of Early American History.

There are 36 weeks in this curriculum.

Yes! They are designed to track together and cover similar topics and/or time periods during the same weeks.

2 Years to Access Additional Downloads & the Online Schedule*

Additional downloads (after your initial purchase) and access to the online version of the schedule are provided as a courtesy and are not guaranteed due to various potential technical and business (and life!) circumstances.

After the 2-year period, you will have the opportunity to repurchase your access at a substantial discount.

Please note, if you have problems, we have a liberal policy of providing extra, free access for unusual circumstances (at our discretion). Just contact us: guesthollow@memorableplaces.com.

*Access to the online version of the curriculum schedules and additional downloads is provided as a courtesy and is not guaranteed due to potential various circumstances on our end and yours including but not limited to various computer, device, and internet configurations.

We are Christians, but Guest Hollow’s Jr. Early American History Curriculum is not intended to be a “Christian resource”. However, there may be infrequent (or what we consider to be) minor references, notes, or links to resources that mention Christian ideas, values, or sectarian topics even in our secular/non-religious/neutral curriculums.

All the books scheduled in Guest Hollow’s Jr. Early American History Curriculum are secular. If you want some Christian books to sub in or add, you can always check out the Big Bad Beautiful Booklist -History Edition for ideas!

Christians and non-Christians should preview the scheduled books and all other resources such as videos, etc. to make sure they are compatible with your beliefs, philosophies, and values.

After purchasing a curriculum, you’ll see that the item you just bought shows that it is discounted 50% in our store. The reason you are seeing this is because we give you the opportunity to repurchase the schedule and your downloads at a substantial discount before they expire (2 years from date of purchase).

Please note: You do NOT need to repurchase your schedule in order to use the files you originally purchased and downloaded. You can use your downloaded schedule forever and can click on the links just as you can the online version of the schedule. You just won’t have access to any updates after your online access expires.

Why does access expire? Every year we go through all our curriculum schedules and update broken links and/or replace books that have gone out of print. This is a very time-intensive process that keeps our curricula up-to-date. Your repurchase helps fund this process and provides you with a schedule that has all the new additions or changes.

You need to repurchase your access BEFORE it expires in order to get the 50% discount due to the way our “membership” software works. If for some reason you miss the deadline, let us know why. We may give you a coupon code for the 50% off at our discretion.

*It is our intention to provide access for a period of 2 years, however, access to the online version of the curriculum schedules and additional downloads is provided as a courtesy and is not guaranteed due to potential various circumstances on our end and yours including but not limited to various computer, device, and internet configurations.
