Welcome to this weekend’s giveaway, brought to you by a resource that has completely changed the way my family home educates for the better–A Thomas Jefferson Education (also known as TJEd).

One of the tools we provide is This Week in History–a daily resource that brings your homeschool or classroom to life!
Whatever you want to learn, whatever there is to teach, it starts with history…

My children are 11, 7, 5, 2 and 7 mos. I want them to be well-read and to know and love history so that they will understand their past and be prepared to face the future. And besides, history is amazingly FUN to study!! 🙂 Thank you so much for this awesome giveaway!!!
My boys are 9 and 4-the 9yo already has a passion for history which I love to feed, and want to see it kindled in the little guy too!
My kids are 14, 12, 11, 10, 7, 4, and 2. History is a compilation of all our individual stories; I ache for my children to get a sense of the wonder of all human beings through all time, to find their own place, to love their own stories, and to see that their own stories will affect the future.
my twins are 9 and being a history major, history is foundational for us!
My kids are 7, 3, and 1 and I want them to have a love of history because a knowledge of the past is so important when it comes to the future! I want them to be well read and aware of history so that the bad parts don’t repeat and they can take lessons from those who have gone before.
My children are 9, 10 & 11. I have seen a love for history blossom in them this school year. I look forward to seeing that love grow.
My kids are 7 and 5. We love history 🙂 I want them to have a passion for this topic, as it is so central to many other issues.
P.S. I have liked Simple Homeschool and Thomas Jefferson Education on Facebook 🙂
My daughters are 5 & 2. History…the past…teaches us valuable lessons about ourselves. We can see social changes, human characteristics in regards to facing and resolving conflicts, innovation and industrialization. We learn patterns of religion of mental and spiritual growth. We can learn from the mistakes and the perserverence of our ancestors. History even gives us a glimpse into the future as it seems like things in life always come full circle.
My children are ages 14, 11, 10 and 5. They already have a love for history. I made sure they got it! I love history. We can always learn more..
My boys are 3 and 8. History repeats itself…and it’s their future so I want to give them a passion for history.
My children are 5, 7 & 9. I want to give them the opportunity to develope a love and excitement about history that I never had in my education. I feel like I missed out on so much in my own conveyor belt education and I am determined that the same will not happen to my children!
My children are 3 and 5 so we are just starting homeschooling. My husband and I both have a love for history and we want to share that passion with our children. I have also liked Simple Homeschool and Thomas Jefferson Education on FB as well for additional entries. Thank you!!

We have three boys – 8.5 yrs, 6.5 yrs, and 3.5 yrs. As an adult I have a deeper appreciation for history and understanding how what happened in the past influences us today. I want our boys to also have that appreciation and understanding, but from an earlier age.
I like both Simple Homeschool and Thomas Jefferson Education on FB.
I have a 13 year old. We are advocates of learning history and want our son to share in this. It is important to see where we have come from as a PERSON in your FAMILY in your COUNTRY and in the WORLD.
Hi. My kids are 9 & 6 and I think history is SO important. How can we know where we are going if we don’t know where we come from?
My children are 13, 12, & 9. I have been researching TJEd and have been wanting to try it out for some time now. I love that history is woven into every other subject. I want my children to learn more than facts about history but to truly understand the why about history. Learning and applying lessons from the past is essential in today’s world!
My girls are 7 and 2. I’d like them to have a passion for history because I think knowing how and why things happened in the past can help us understand how and why people respond to events and happenings in the present.
My children are 6 and 7. I find history fascinating! I never really liked it much when I was in (public) school, but I love learning everything I can now as an adult. I want my children to enjoy it as well. So many things make more sense now that I know a little history. 🙂

My daughters are 20, 16, 14, and 11. I homeschool the three younger ones. However, all of them enjoy history. I think having this opportunity will enhance the other areas they aren’t so fond of such as math and science.
My daughter is 18 months. Our whole family loves history. I’m just starting to look into homeschooling.
What an amazing give-away. Looking forward to delving more into the material!
