Good morning, how are you? It’s Saturday morning and David is preparing to leave while Charlie is working on his room. Before I begin the kitchen I wanted to share our Homeschool Resources: Bible Studies and Music with you. Would you take a look at the websites and let me know if you’ve used these resources with your students.
The Illuminate Bible Series’ unique approach will enrich your students’ studies with intelligent, reliable, and stimulating Bible knowledge. More than just a textbook, this curriculum explores Scripture and exposits God’s Word.
YouTube: Music of Colonial and Revolutionary America– All grades, with parental supervision
This large YouTube Playlist pulls together an assortment of musical renditions of songs from the colonial and revolutionary times in America.
Many of the videos present the music played with similar instruments traditionally used during the time period and some videos are from a variety of re-enactment fairs or locations.
Because this is a playlist and a selection opens in a new window, once you have watched the video, use the left-hand side list to either return to the playlist page or select another video in the collection. Please be aware that video suggestions under the playlist on the video page may contain content that may not be appropriate for your family, so it may be best to monitor use of this page.
Please also note that because the list currently contains 270 videos and is added to regularly, we were not able to view every video, but the ones we did select were fine and quite pleasant. Parents should always preview any YouTube video prior to allowing children to view them.
This playlist could add a bit of interest to your history studies as well as provide an overview of what colonial American music was like.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
