American History Linky ~ Heads Up!

By
Because American History is going to be such an emphasis for us this year, I decided that I would do a separate post each week on what we have studied, with books read, notebook pages done, projects completed, etc. My vision is for it to be a place of sharing amongst all homeschoolers doing American History studies, from elementary to high school.

I will be posting our American History weekly studies on Saturdays. It will be called Study America Saturday. I will have a Linky set up each Saturday morning with my post and I really, really hope that the fever will catch on and you will participate! (No one likes to set up a Linky that has no Linkers! That's just sad!)

So, if you would like to participate, or you know someone who would, grab my button on the right (thanks, Shannon!), write your American History post each week, and Link up on Saturdays!

My first post and Link up will be Saturday, August 20th.

See you then!

    we'll be there it will be good for my 5 year old to learn before they do in school. Great refresher for my almost 11 year old and maybe make me like American history a little more. :)

    your welcome on the button I had a blast making it!!!

    What a great idea! We are doing the Story of the World and aren't quite at American history yet, but, I can't wait to see what you all will be up to!

We all know that in this crazy world of homeschooling, we need all the (adult) support we can get. Please leave a comment if you so wish!

CTC Math {Schoolhouse Review}

By
We found our groove with math this year. I found a curriculum that both of the kids respond well to and seem to enjoy (as much as one can enjoy math). We have spent the whole year learning the ins and outs of multiplication and were just a few lessons away from being ready to move onto the next year-long level on division. And then an opportunity to review the 12 Month Family Plan from  CTC Math became available. To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic. I mean, why mess with the methods that have worked so well? When I was chosen to review the product I didn't go into it with the level of enthusiasm that it deserved. We have been using a dvd/workbook curriculum with great success. The 12 Month Family Plan from CTC Math is a web based curriculum. As we have not had a lot of luck with those types of programs, I went into this review with a negative attitude. And then my socks were knocked off by how great it is. In fact it is so great that we are going to continue to ...

Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt (Schoolhouse Review)

For the past several weeks we have been reviewing Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt and the Old Testament and Ancient Egypt Flashcards  from Veritas Press . As we were entering into our more easy-going summer schedule, and had just concluded a two-year Old Testament Bible course, I was happy to try out this product as it appeared to be something that Eli and Brynne could do together, alone, and would act as a review of the Old Testament presented in a different way. And I was right. Each Veritas Press Self-Paced History program includes 160 lessons teaching about 32 events in history. They are designed for children in grades 2-6, and it is recommended that the student be a minimum of 7 years of age at the time of the first lesson. What We Received We received a full one-year subscription, for one child, to the online Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt program and the accompanying Old Testament and Ancien...
