Weekend homeschool links
My kids are 8, 5, 3, and almost 2. Our favorite part of US history right now is the native Americans and Columbus’ journey to America.
My kids are 8 & 5 years. They love learning about the Revolutionary War and pioneer life.
My kids are 7, 9, and 11! Their favorite part of US history is any thing with Native Americans (daughter) and the Red Coats (my boys)! Thank you, I do love Dover Publishing.
My kids are 11, 11 and 10. They love learning about native Americans and the underground railroad.
My homeschooled kids are 11, 12 and 4, 2. Plus one that’s 15. Right now we’re finishing ancient Greece, so it won’t be long till we’re into exploration and the colonies! That would be *my* favorite part, though I have one Wild West fan and one Little House fan.
By the way, we’ve used some of the Dover coloring books for other eras – they ROCK. Seriously fabulous.
My boys are 10 and 12. They love early American history…
My kids are 9, 8, 5, and 1, and my older girls love the Pioneer Days. I can’t tell you how many times the oldest has reread the Little House Series!
Hi there-my kids are 10 and 13 and we love reading about the 1800s in America as well as global ancient history.
My kids are 10 and 8. They love the Revolutionary period.
My boys are 7, 5 and 2. We are a family of history lovers and we just started with Leif the Lucky. They love learning about the beginning of our nation!
My son is almost seven. His favorite part of history would be world war II and the first Thanksgiving.
He is 4 and anything with cowboys and the Wild West.

We have kiddos ranging in ages from 7-22 (two have graduated from our home school). Our oldest still in school has been enamored with all things Civil War and is impatient for our curriculum to “catch up” to that period. The two youngest love whatever period we are currently studying which for them is the ancients.
My kiddos are 6 & 8 and our favorite part is learning about the birth of our great nation!
My boys are 11,9, and 3. They really enjoy learning about Native Americans in history right now.
My kids are about to turn 8 and 4 this month. So far the part of US history they enjoy the most is “old fashioned things” by which they mean stories about pioneers heading west. 🙂 (Shared on FB.)
My kids are 10, 5, and 1. Right now we are learning about World War I…they probably actually enjoy reading about anything having to do with ‘out west’ when everyone had horses though.
My children are 5 and 8. We are studying world cultures right now. When we do get to American History my kids would love this package, horses, Indians, etc….
My son is 11 and he loves learning about WWII. He has a really good memory and can recall a lot of what he reads.
My kids are 16,14, 12 and 3. They love to study American history!
Kids are 10 & 13. They are interested in pretty much all aspects of US history, especially the extremes (crazy laws, crazy leaders, crazy statistics).
My children are 12 and 8. They have enjoyed colonial times and American Revolutionary war so far.
Our children are ages 14, 12, and 7 and our favorite period to study is anything which involves Laura Ingalls Wilder!
My kids are 8, 6, 4, and 2. They love learning about pioneer life in American history.
I have 13 year old twins and a 2 year old. They both love the 1800’s living out west.
