History for 4th Grade recommendations…
What would you recommend for fourth grade history is a question that came up recently. The wheels in my brain started turning and as I fielded text messages and thought about emails I could forward or send, I thought about how I might be able to organize some thoughts into a blog post to help others that may have a similar question. For reference, this year, I will be teaching ninth, sixth, third, kindergarten, and preschool. We have been homeschooling from the beginning. 4th Grade History Recommendations There are so many options for homeschool material these days and truly it can be done without curriculum, however, if you are looking…

Project Passport World History Study: Ancient Egypt {Review}
We have done a lot of research on resources for studying history. It is my desire that I teach my children using a Classical Christian Education method. For years I’ve heard of a family that created their own timeline pieces and now more and more creative hands-on projects.

(It appears there maybe a new series added this month of an Egypt lifestyle so I will have to explore that.) We’ve also read more. And experienced Egyptology more.…

Abide with Me: Photographic and Musical Journey by John H. Parker {Review}
This is a fabulous book! I could easily see this sitting out on a coffee table for years to come or a guest room bedside table for enjoyment. Also, this book is a perfect gift idea for my father. Written by John H. Parker and filled to the brim of photography by Paul Seawright, this square-shaped book is a perfect historical lesson on Christianity's most famous British Hymns and their authors lives. Each chapter gives an oral history of the hymnist life and a photographic journey of those locations in modern day.
