We’ve enjoyed History Pockets through the years too. Now that Sprite is 5th grade, I’m giving her the book and letting her choose what to copy and how to lay it out.
Great review Lynn! Welcome!! We love these pockets too. I’m working on the nursery rhymes one with my 5 yr old now and I’ve used the native american indians one many times!
