Although we are officially finished with our A Beka history book for this year, our history learning never ends.  My boys are becoming quite the history buffs and learning some civics and current politics as well.  We’ve been watching “Founding Father’s Friday’s”  on the Glenn Beck show and have gained more knowledge about Sam Adams, George Washington,  George Whitfield and others and have been entertained as well.

During lunch hour while we eat our soup and sandwiches we enjoy watching the “American Heritage Series” by David Barton.  Each episode is only about 25 minutes long so our attention does not wander much. What a painless and fun way to learn history!  I love homeschooling!

This month we are going to work on memorizing several easy and short documents. First, we will learn The Preamble to the Constitution and then the First Amendment to the Constitution.  We will also begin to learn the first two paragraphs to The Declaration of Independence.  Perhaps you will care to join us.  Happy Homeschooling dear Families! ~Anne
