Good morning, here is a couple new Homeschool Resources: History you can use with your students. If you have used these resources leave me a comment and let me know what you thought of the resources and why.

It’s like having a world-class university professor right by your side. Self-paced courses feature best-in-class videos created to meet your student’s learning preferences.
