Re: whats the history like in sonlight?
Core D & E (3rd and 4th grade) are American History books are about the pilgrims and the settlers in the americas - it starts out with Mexico and indigenous peoples (sp) It's very American focused - we read a lot about Boston & Virginia, all really good literature Newberry award winning books, classics but USA. This year we're starting out with the Gold Rush but our Geography Unit is starting in South America. I would think you could sub out books fairly easily and it wouldnt be an uncharted course.
Before that - for PK/K easy peasy - it's world history and the books are Usbourne books which have a very European feel imo. I wouldn't call those early years USA-centric at all. We did PK-4 last year and Im doing a K/1st mashup for my 5yo
