This morning for our Homeschool Resources: History is what we will be studying. Do you teach your student’s History? If so which grade and what resources do you use? Charlie and I are looking for 6th, 7th and 8th grade resources to use this year.
Mystery of History, from Bright Ideas Press, offers a complete World History Curriculum that features a classical approach, a chronological order of historical events, and a Christian worldview.
The US50 – All grades, children with parental supervision
This ad-supported website is a one-stop location for information about all of the 50 states.
When arriving at the site, use the map to locate the state of choice. When the page opens you can then use the links to find concise information about that state including:
- Historic Figures
- Information – State symbols, seal, flag, quarter, license plate, flower, stamp, and more
- Geography & Maps
- Outdoors – State parks, hiking, and more
- Tourism
- Governors
- Cities
- Colleges
- And much more
There are even online trivia quizzes for each state to test your knowledge and links to other state-related websites. Also on the home page, scroll below the map to find links to an image of the Declaration of Independence, downloadable audio of the national anthem, and fast facts study guides which include printable outline maps of the states and mailing addresses to the state governors and tourism offices.
This site is bookmark-worthy and a great place to get general information for all of your state studies.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
