My kids are having such a great time learning about ancient history. After spending the past few months on Egypt and Mesopotamia, we recently started on Ancient Greece. (They loved having an excuse to watch the Disney version of Hercules again.) We started off our study of Greece by reading about ...

There is so much to love about Ancient Greece. The art, philosophy, greek mythology, the origins of democracy...if I had to choose a time to go back and visit, Ancient Greece would be a contender. (Of course, I'd prefer to be an elite male, and would rather be someplace like Athens than Sparta.) I ...

The primary thing I've learned in studying Ancient Mesopotamia with my 6 year old is that I'm really glad I don't live in Ancient Mesopotamia. There doesn't seem to be anything warm, nurturing, or cradle-like about the cradle of civilization. Ancient Mesopotamian leaders seem to have been ...

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.

I honestly hope that one day I get to see many of these monuments in person, especially the ...

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. Throughout this school year, I'm planning to help my son learn about ancient history. What better place to start than with ancient Egypt? These ...

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 ...
