History

I am a Social Studies nerd.  I always have been.  It is my all time favorite subject, as most of my elective credits in college will show.

So, it is only by sheer force of will that I am able to teach Maggie science, music, writing, and math.  If I had my way, it would be Social Studies day every day.

That being said, we are using Susan Wise Bauer's The Story of the World.  The material -- which I find fascinating any way -- is presented chronologically, so the student has a better understanding of the continuity of human history, the movement of peoples, and the development of cultures.  Two nerdy thumbs up!
