Global Focus

Many cycle curriculums I see claim to be global, but tend to slide back and focus on Western Europe or don’t stay ancient. I’ve tried to spend equal time on the different continents all history picture books are from BC/BCE.

Nearly every selection, not from my culture was cross-checked in the Stories of Color database! If we find anything that’s a problem during the year I will flag it in the private Facebook group. (Stories of Color also will receive a percentage of each sale)

Where we will be

Two months of each school year are taken to look at the ancient history and culture of 4 of the major contents.

Africa
Asia *with an aside month on Mesopotamia
Europe
Americas

**There is less focus on the Americas this year so we can appropriately give attention and time to other areas. I plan to spend more time there with our family next year and hope to make that available to you too!
