When my youngest was in second grade, we did a Creation-based dinosaur unit study that led to some amazing rabbit trail learning! What started out as a great “boy topic” to end the year with a bang, turned into so much more. Without my pre-planning, it even gave him a great foundational understanding of events leading up…
Eli and I have just begun our history studies for the year and I’m very glad to report that I might have another history lover on my hands! This ancient history art project is a motivating one for sure. This post contains affiliate links. Oh, how I have missed Story of the World. It’s just such…
Today’s post has been written by guest blogger, Adriana Zoder. She’s sharing her experiences with a popular Classical education curriculum that happens to work really well in a Charlotte Mason homeschool, too. In fact, it’s one of my favorite curriculum choices of all time for history. With chapters written as living literature, the chronological overview of history…
Being a Charlotte Mason homeschooler with a Classical flair when it comes to history and science, I love living literature that teaches history in rich and meaningful ways! Over the years, we’ve hit ancient history three different times and each round has included new and exciting literature. I tried to make a Top 10 list,…
Every once in a while, blogging has nice perks. As a blogger in the Greater Cincinnati area, my children and I were invited to tour the traveling exhibit, Cleopatra: The Search for the Last Queen of Egypt, at the Cincinnati Museum Center. We just so happened to be finishing up Ancient Greek history and moving…
We’re more than half-way through our study of ancient history using Ancient Civilizations and the Bible by Diana Waring. As we’ve gotten to know the curriculum, I’ve found a few things to be extremely useful in helping my children “see” and understand the material. By no means are they necessary in order to complete the…
The history of Ancient Israel is now under our belts! I have to admit that I swerved from the textbook a tad during this unit to add several hands-on ideas that I simply couldn’t pass up from Old Testament Days. This unit study guide is perfect for active learning! Below you’ll find a mixture…
Ancient Civilizations and the Bible continues to be a huge hit – with me AND my children. There is so much more than we could ever use contained in the pages of this book! Since I last wrote about history, we’ve been on a journey through Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt. Below are a just a…
We are absolutely LOVING Ancient Civilizations and the Bible by Diana Waring! There is SO much to choose from for every single learning style. We’re only skimming the surface of the depth that could be reached with this curriculum, and we’re still diving way deep into Biblical world history! Here are some photos from our…
We’re having such a good time creating our monthly, er, every six-eight week newsletter! Here’s the latest installment…..
Studying Ancient Greece has been so much fun! We could’ve spent many more days lingering in the Greek hillsides, but it’s time to move on to Ancient Rome. Here are some highlights from our week. On top of the regular reading about Ancient Greece, map work, timelines and such, we did lots of hands-on activities,…
We’re on a tour of ancient history right now and loving it! So far we’ve been through Ancient Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt. I thought I’d share a few highlights of this week in Egypt since we had so much fun. The best part of the week was mummifying a Ken doll. Thanks Jamin for the…
