Green leaf press has some unit studies that incorporate Biblical and historical information. I have used the Ancient Egypt guide many years ago when my children were in early elementary school. I had to adapt it to their ages (not too hard to adapt) and we had a lot of fun. Very hands-on type of approach.

Right now we are reading aloud "Crispin: The Cross of Lead." All the children are begging me to read more everyday. I am just as interested. Great style of writing and already a few twists in the plot.
My son is reading "Amos Fortune, Free Man" about an Arfican prince who was captured and sold in to slavery in colonial America. A freat book about hard work and achieving goals, but not action-packed.
My daughter just finished "Sign of the Beaver." I love this story about a white boy, fending for himself in the wilds of Maine, meeting an Indian boy, and becoming friends. Elizabeth Georg Speare does a great job making you feel Matt's turmoil in this novel.
Both my children are using Total Language Plus study guides with these novels.
