I have reviewed the project pack for World War I by In the Hands of  a Child and would like to share my review with you.

First off the packet starts with an immense amount of history, timelines, and important people for anyone to get started without even picking up a book if one so chose. This includes info. on the economic status at that time in history along with peace treaties.  There is also a vocabulary list with the definitions included.

There are forms included for you to make your own fact books and vocabulary cards, timelines, etc. This includes a matchbook- size booklet to make. The areas for descriptions of the gas masks, guns, etc. are wonderful!  There are forms for one to fill in with words/and/or pictures to include in your lapbook or notebook.

I found this project pack to be very useful for my younger children.  However, this pack is suggested for grades 3-8.  As a former teacher, I would like to see some more higher level questions included for the upper grades such as "Why did....happen?"  "What do you think would have happened if....?"  "Create a graph showing...." .  Again, these are just my thoughts for the upper grades.

I would definitely recommend this pack for the younger grades. It has lots of information and would make a great lapbook for a child beginning to study  World War I.

I just found your site and wanted you to know that your words are a real blessing. I too am a transplant to New England & have discovered much of what you have seen so far. But, take heart. There are good folks here too. It just takes a little longer to find them. My prayers are with you & just know that you're not alone.
In His service,
Lee Ann
