You know how very much I enjoy history. It has always been my favorite subject and I love sharing it with my children. I especially like being able to make the days of old come to life through music and pictures.

Currently with my children we have been studying the Civil War. It's been interesting and we've learned a lot.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't studied much American History in our homeschool yet, and to be honest, I HATED history before I started teaching it in my own home. ;-) So honestly I don't even know what my choices are for "periods of American History," but I enjoy doing and learning the homemaking and homesteading type activities like making our own butter and cooling down the house without electricity. :)
