On meeting a childhood hero (and all that happened next!)
My daughters are 4.5 and almost 10. The youngest hasn’t yet expressed a particular interest in any period of history–although she does like geography, particularly maps, and the oldest had a long fascination with ancient Greece, but recently, she seems to have moved on to an interest in WWI and WWII.
My boys still at home are 16, 14, 12, 12 , and 10. They all really enjoy both Medieval and early American history. They enjoy learning about the trades such as blacksmithing, and animal husbandry, as well as the story of their own Christian faith during those time periods.
My kids are (almost) 10, 5, and 3. My oldest isn’t much of a history fan, but even he enjoyed learning about daVinci. My middle child doesn’t have a set period, but she loves learning about England. As for the 3 year old, he doesn’t have much to say about history yet; but in his heart, I’m pretty sure he’s a Viking 🙂
My kids are 6 and 5, and they are interested in Ancient Egypt and medieval history. Thanks!
My boys are 9 and 12 and love historical fiction. My oldest loves any history, but recently is interested in WWI and WWII. The 9 year old has become interested in ancient times, particularly the 7 wonders of the world.
Our children are 9, 8, 5, 3, and 4 months. We love studying history. Right now we have been focused on the World War II era.
My kids are 6, 8, and 9. So far, they have loves medieval history. My son loves the knights and my daughters loved the castles!
My daughter is 7 and loves the colonial period.
My girls are 9, 7 & 2. They are very interested in Ancient Egypt.
Our children are 15, 12, 10, and 8. We love all history but seem to be drawn to the colonial period right now.
My children are 25, 19 and 14. I homeschool the 14 year old. He loves history of any time period.
My children are 9, 6, 4, and 1. My 9 year old is particularly fascinated by colonial times, and the relationship between the Native Americans and the colonists.
My current homeschool kids (I have two adult kids, too!) are 9 and 11. My 9 year old daughter is fascinated with the Civil War Period and my 11 year old son is a huge history buff. He’s currently studying the Cold War, but has focused on WWI and WWII recently, as well.
My children are 13 and 15 and our whole family is currently obsessed with the Revolutionary War! (Thanks Hamilton!)
My daughter is 13 and we study different periods simultaneously, but, she is definitely fascinated by the colonial period. Thank you for introducing this material.
My newly homeschooled children are 15 and 12. My 15 year old loves Ancient Greece and my 12 year old loves the Middle Ages.
My kids are 3, 6 and 8. And as of now, they don’t have a favourite historical period. Though this would definitely help to inspire that I’m sure!
This is our first year of homeschooling. My children are 11, 7, and 5. My 11 year old love the ancient Rome and Greek history. My 7 year old loves learning about Thomas Edison. My 5 year old hasn’t really picked a topic yet.
My kids are 4 and 6. The oldest is very interested in all things Egypt as well as early american history.
My girls are 4 and 6. They love history from the Bible! And that’s is the only history we have in our home school right now, but would love to add this to our schooling. Thank you for offering this opportunity!
My children are 12, 11, 9, 7, and 2. Right now they are reading through the Little House on the Prairie, and loving it. They all want to live off the land now. 🙂
We are a homeschool family with twin 13-year-old boys. Yes, it is very interesting around here these days. ???? My boys loved studying the ancient world. I did too! I’m enjoying history so much more while studying it with my kids. Somehow I didn’t quite get all the interesting parts of history while I was in the public school in the early 80s. ???? I remember it being a constant battle of learning names and dates. I am terrible at memorizing names and dates.???? Well, onward and upward! We are now coming into a period of studying the exploration of the Americas. I would love to be able to bring this alive to them. Thanks so much for this opportunity!

Our children are ages 7, 11, and 13 and we live learning about the Revolutionary War period and the very beginning of our country’s foundation.
My boys are 9, 6, and 3. The most fun we had was with early world history and early american history.
Our girls are 8 and almost 5, and are obsessed in a good way, with learning about the former presidents! The picture book, President Taft Got Stuck in the Bath, inspired their enthusiasm. 🙂
My kiddos are 9, 7, 5, 3, and 1. They’re all really excited about Colonial history right now.
My kids are 9 and 11 years old. My daughter loves reading about Ancient Rome and Greece and my son’s favorite is American History.
My kids are 12, 12, and 10. I have one that loves Ancient Greece and Rome. Another is interested in WW II. The other doesn’t like history at all. (It’s sad.)
Hello! My kids are 8, 4, and 2. We’ve studied Ancient History the last two years, which my oldest loved. She’s also very interested in American History, so we are focusing on that next year.
My children are 12, 10, 9, 7, 5, 2, and 9 mo. My children love history. Right now we are focusing on the Revolutionary War period, which they all seem to enjoy.
My children are 9,7,6, and 3. We haven’t delved into history that much. However we have started them with the stories of the Prophets. The story of Prophet Moses and Pharaoh and the Egyptians is a fascinating one with many lessons 🙂
My children are 12, 10, 5, and 3, and my older two have loved learning about US History, particularly the world wars, this year.
Amy @ Hope Is the Word’s latest post: National Poetry Month recap
My children are 3,7,9,11. They have always been fascinated by ancient history.
My kids are 8, 7 and 5. They haven’t formed an opinion yet on what period in history they like best, but we’re studying the ancient world right now.
My sons are 2 and 4 and as of yet are not really learning about history. My oldest asks a lot about how it was when I was little – he must think I’m ancient!
My kids are 7 & 10
And they love ancient Egypt and Greece and the Revolutionary War.
Awesome! My kids are 8 and 7 (nearly 9, I’m reminded!) and both love to hear about the Pioneer times and First Nations/Native Americans. We’ve been reading through the Ingalls’ series (The Long Winter is almost over! 🙂 ) and they have *loved* them. We’re also going through book “Ordinary People in Canada’s Past”, which is all about the First Nations tribes, and the everyday people who settled across Canada. It’s been a fun year because we live in a small town that has a live-reenactment museum called “The Fort”, and it’s the oldest settlement in BC. We’ve definitely been “living history” this year, on both sides (one American parent, and one Canadian!), so it’s been really fun.

I have shared on Facebook 🙂
My kids are 7, 4, 2, and 2 weeks! My 4 year old is completely obsessed with Little House on the Prairie. We have read the first couple books of the series over and over again. My 7 year old loves baseball, and I have been happy with all the history we can cover through baseball!

I am hoping to implement a few things this summer and see how it goes.
Sounds like a great resource! Our family loves history. My kids are 8 and 10 and it’s tough to choose which historical period they enjoy most. We love them all! Currently we are studying ancient history. Next year will be medieval and the following year we will return to U.S. history. All have their interesting stories and lessons!

This fall will be our first year homeschooling and it would be amazing to win this!!!! 😀
Shared on Facebook!!
My children are barely 2 and almost one, so they don’t have any particular interests yet, but I look forward to homeschooling them and exploring various time periods with them in the future!
My kids are 12, 11, 7, 4, and 2. My 12 year old loves American History the best. My 10 year old daughter and 7 year old son love Medieval History the best but really enjoyed Ancient History this past year. My four and 2 year olds probably loves medieval history the best since they love all things princess! 😉
My kids are 5, 3, and 1 – so we are really just starting to incorporate history into our homeschool. So far, anything to do with Knights, Pirates, or Explorers is always popular! :o)
My children are 8, 5, 3, and 10 months. This year we have transitioned from Ancient to Medieval history and my 8 year old daughter has enjoyed learning about different dynasties, empires, kingdoms, etc. She likes to compare different rulers and discuss why one was more successful over another or to just compare the differences across the world. She has also become engrossed in reading the “Dear America” series. It has opened up many conversations about how girls lived in different time periods in the U.S. I love helping her find good book series and am always searching for more because of how fast she consumes books!
My boys are 5 and 7. We are enjoying ancient Egypt studies right now.
My 12 year old son is interested in the Civil War and my 9 year old is interested in the knights of the middle ages.
My kids are 12, 11,9,7,2 and 7 months. This fall will be the first time I have them all home for homeschooling, so this seems to be a perfect resource for us as I have such a wide range of ages amd interests. Some favorite historical phases include: Native Americans, WWI and the Renaissance.
My kids are 6 and 3. At the moment the eldest is into quite a mixture; American Pioneer history (thanks to Little House series!), Romans and transport history (specifically steel ships – steam and propeller driven). My 3 yr old also loves the pioneer history as well as gladiators and ships!
My 10 year old is interested in homesteading era of histories. My 9 year old loves to learn about Native Americans right now. My 6 year old likes Egyptian history and my 4 year old loves whatever we’re reading about 🙂 I love that This Week in History would help make connections between subjects (events dealing with scientists and musicians and mathematicians). I would be so excited to have this resource!!!
My children are 8, 6, & 3. My 8 year old seems a bit obsessed with anything to do with World War II. It surprises me how often it seems to come up in conversation, and the ONE book he picked up at a library sale this weekend (don’t worry, I loaded a whole box full of books! 🙂 ) was a “Picture Atlas” of the 20th Century, and I think it was mostly because fo the WW II pictures he spotted in it!

My kids are 6 and 10. So far we’ve studied Ancient History and the Middle Ages/Renaissance. Next year we’re looking forward to studying the time of the Explorers and Early Modern History. I feel like each year we’ve said whatever our current time period is is our favorite. We love history!
Our kids are 5 and 1. The 5 year old enjoys the part of history written down in her children’s Bible, but does not know much about world history yet.
My daughter is 14-years-old and we are studying about the thirteen colonies, right now. This year we covered Marco Polo and the Silk Road, the age of Exploration, Spanish colonization of North and South America, and now we are going in-depth about the thirteen colonies. History is her favorite subject, and she likes anything we learn and talk about, no matter what time period we’re learning. Our curriculum budget just got a lot slimmer, but I am interested in researching more about the Thomas Jefferson Education approach. Thanks for offering the give-a-way.
Daughters age 9, 3, and 3 months.

My 15yo is interested in WWII, my 13yo loves the Renaissance. My 7yo said today “clothes must be very old, because people had to invent clothes a long long time ago… like when Jesus was on earth!” so I guess that’s his favorite period of history right now… when clothes were invented.

My girls are 10 and 8. We have been studying Ancient History this past year, and we all really enjoyed it. I was excited to see your book about the Ancient world reading list. I can’t wait to get mine.

I have 14 and 16 year old sons, and 11, 5, and 2 year old girls. The boys are fascinated with ancient Egypt. My 11 year old loves early American/Native American history.
I have 4 children, 10, 7, and 4(2). Their favorite time period is Roman times.
My kids are 8, 11, and 12 and love dressing up like pioneers (which make us look super weird), so I’d say their favorite is 19th century America.
I have 6 kids ages 10, 8, 6, 5, 3, and 18 months. We love any kind of history, but especially late 18th century and early 19yh century. My oldest enjoys trying out different things that the Ingalls sisters did. It has helped her appreciate the amazing advances in technology ????
My kids are 4 and 6, and my oldest is interested in the Civil War right now.
I have a 5.5 and 3.5 year old boys. They love anything in history about volcanoes, like pompeii or other large eruptions.

My kids are so different from each other. I love that homeschooling allows us to let them be themselves. My kids are 14, 12, 11, and 8. The oldest (Grayson) is interested in ancient civilizations. Emma loves the American Revolution. Kate loves medieval history. Landon hasn’t identified with anything particular yet.

Nicola’s latest post: Alaska
My children are 3, 6, 11,and 15. The 3yo is intrigued by yesterday, an intriguing concept for a 3yo. My 6yo is more interested in today. My 11yo veers toward Revolutionary America and Civil War America. My 15yo, for years, was fascinated by the medieval age, but has moved on to an obsession with Natzi Germany, particularly WWII Natzi generals.
I have 5 kids, (13 girl, 13 boy, 11 girl, 8 girl, and 5 boy). We loved studying about the Roman Empire, but we’ve moved all the way to the Renaissance this year and hope to be able to make it to the founding of America next year!

My kidlets are 10, 9, 6, 4, and 2, we haven’t done a lot of history as I’m struggling to keep up with everything; I love reading about pioneers and settlers and my eldest two have dabbled in ancient history a bit.
My boys are 7,5,3 and 0, they love any history that concerns battles with swords.
My kids are still in core, 3 almost 4 and 2, but my daughter loves Hawaiian history, of any particular period that pops up in our collection of children’s stories about legends and places of Hawaii. She even packed her own bag to grandmas house one day and filled it with books which she told me were history books…and they actually were history books about Hawaiian monarchs!
My son is 6 and we’re enjoying studying ancient Egypt at the moment – he also likes talking about World War II with his Dad.
My children are 14yr boy, 12yr girl, 8yr boy, 5yr girl and 3yr boy. Civil war time frame has been out favorite so far! I enjoy this blog and it inspires me and our homeschool journey! Thanks for the great content and encouragement!
My oldest is 15. He’d do history and only history if we allowed him to! His favorite time right now is the area surrounding WWI. Specifically how political events in Serbia have impacted the world in general throughout the 20th century. My youngest is 12, and is more interested in geography than history. But she does appreciate the Revolutionary War period.
My children are 5 and 3. They love learning about the founding fathers and Revolutionary War period and also the Mountain Man Rendezvous period (we do re-enactments).
Hello and Thank You for offering this up and the reminder of this very interesting curriculum. Ages here include 12, 10, and 8 years. Interests range and float around between Anciet Egypt and Ancient Greece; European exploration (and navigation and sailing); and then more locally to Canadian European settlement and the existing First Nations/Indigenous nations.
Mini is almost 9 and loving everything about this history of America, particularly the founding and forming of our country.
^ year old; ANCIENT history!!!
6 year old
My son is 11 years old. His favorite historic period is the Medievel time (Middle ages) because it introduced new ideas such as Issac Newton’s laws of motion, Chivalry, and Feudalism which greatly affected the development of The Modern world.
My daughters are 12 and 15. They love the Civil War period and the Middle Ages.
My kids are 7 and 8. They love all and any history….because it is told and studied with stories. =)

My children are 7 and 3! My son (7) has been very interested in early inventors and the early 1900s as a result. My daughter doesn’t lean one way or another, but she loves ballet and nursery rhymes and has an incredible imagination!

My children are 11 and 9. They both enjoy any period in history as long as they can read and learn about strong women role models.
My children are ages 10, 12 and 14. My 12 year old daughter is very interested in any period of history. She enjoys historical fiction and has read books from many periods but has a fondness for Tudors and vikings. My youngest son also enjoys the vikings. My oldest son is more of a science person and not greatly interested in history but has a fascination for steampunk and so is interested in the Victorians and the age of steam.
My kiddos are 14, 10, 6 and right now all things medieval! Thanks for the chance.

My children are 10,8,5 . We can’t just pick one. We LOVE Ancient Egypt and Old Testament Times.

We just finished reading The Bronze Bow and are looking for more books based in that era.
My kids are 13 and 8 and they love medieval times and the early American 1800s.
my homeschooled kids are 14, 13, 11, 9, 8, 6 and 3. With that smattering, they like all different types of history. Probably the most liked is 1800 to 1950s. They like to learn about the the founding of this country as well.
My kids are 5, 3 and 1 and they seem to be most fascinated by New Testament history, and anything surrounding Christ’s life.
