Hello, i have a longer post under the new post for new folks. I am a bju user and am looking to doing HOD:)

I have 11,10,8,7 year olds i'm wanting to do either Bigger or Preparing, any thoughts on where to start? I really have my heart set on Preparing, but w/the American History in the Bigger, will that be taught in a later year, where it would be ok to skip it for now, as they can learn it later?
thanks for your thoughts!!!!
