One of my favorite subjects to teach/learn with the kids is history. We have enjoyed Story of the World for a few years now, along with many classic stories from books like Little Stories of Famous American’s and 50 Famous People.

Ancient Egypt {Schoolhouse Review Crew}
My oldest daughter LOVES history. She is a people person through and through and because history is the study of people and how they lived and what they did, she is all. over. it. Seriously.

In Freedom’s Cause {Schoolhouse Review Crew}

My daughter is in LOVE with search and find books. Finding Goldbug in Richard Scarry books? Yep. Where’s Waldo? I’m pretty sure we have them all, including 2 different editions of the original. We also have 1001 Things to Spot in the Sea (which is GREAT for learning number recognition of numbers 1-12, BTW). […] Read more…
