I was initially planning to cover all the major Ancient cultures this year with my son (at least Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, and the Aztecs). We're using this history pocket workbook which I could not love more. However, I've now decided we'll probably spread this over 1.5 to 2 years ...

Does anybody seriously remember ANYTHING from school about Mesopotamia? I know my history knowledge is particularly bad, but other than vague terms bouncing around my head such as “fertile crescent” and “cradle of civilization,” a week ago I honestly drew a blank when considering this period of ...

It's incredible that many of the great monuments of ancient Egypt are still standing today. To think that they were made THOUSANDS of years ago and we are still able to appreciate them up close is amazing.

Egypt has such a rich and fascinating history. It's amazing to me how we can know so much about people that lived thousands (and thousands) of years ago.

Every night I ask my kindergarten son, "What do you want to learn about tomorrow?" Nine times out of 10, he says dinosaurs. We've been reading lots of library books on dinosaurs, but I wanted to make his learning more hands-on. It took me awhile to put together these dinosaur cards and the ...

I want to be helpful. I really do. If there is something I can make that would help your child learn more about a topic they are interested in or master a difficult concept, I'm happy to give it a shot (though I can't promise to be fast). Feel free to contact me. About a month ago, I asked some ...

Who doesn't love the Montessori, hands-on, self-correcting style of learning? It seems like most kids learn best when they get to move pieces around with their hands to understand how things work rather than have someone verbally explain a concept to them. I created this addition strip board and the ...
