Mystery of History Volume 2 Resources

July 23, 2019 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

We will be using Mystery of History Volume 2 this next school year and wanted to share resources that we have found along the way. To make homeschooling less stressful I use the same Science and History for all four of my children. This year we will have grades Kindergarten, Fourth, Tenth and Eleventh. I will try to share resources for all ages that we might be using this year.

 

I used a very nice quarterly chart in order to keep track of the lessons as well as add in videos, novels and Scripture reading. I could not find a similar chart for MOH Volume 2 so I created my own. I will share the rough version with you in Word form so that you can edit it. I have added these to Google Drive so that you can access them. Please be sure to download a copy of them BEFORE editing.

Barb from Harmony Fine Arts offers free downloads and paid resources but gives a nice list of artists and composers to study during the Medieval and Renaissance time period. We will be using the list of composers to add some fun for the elementary brothers while the high school students will complete their Music Appreciation course. If you only want a short unit study then you can use the Renaissance Art Mini Unit.

Tween Girls Christmas Gifts Wishlist

October 28, 2016 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Since this is the last year for Princess to be a tween I thought it would be a great idea for her to help create a tween girls Christmas gifts wishlist. It is very hard to buy for tweens since they are no longer “little kids” but not quite a teen either.

Macy’s Back to School Shopping Party #MacysBTS

August 2, 2016 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

This post is sponsored by Everywhere Agency on behalf of Macy’s; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

Back to School time can be hectic and crazy if you have one child but with us it’s quadruple the insanity! Even though we homeschool each child may still need new clothes to begin the new school year. We try to be sure that each child has seasonal attire that fits for all the fun things we do as a homeschool family. We enjoy educational activities both indoors and outdoors so we need to be sure that we have clothes that fit for all types of weather. I have been known to take our children hiking while it’s snowing or fossil collecting in the heat of Summer!
