On meeting a childhood hero (and all that happened next!)
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 kids are 13, 11, and 7. We are loving pioneer life right now. Just finished watching When Calls the Heart and couldn’t watch it fast enough. Now onto Dr. Quinn. It has become our lunch time ritual, to eat and watch a show!
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!
Kids are 1,3,6,8 and love American history! I’m reading the ‘Story of the World’ series and when they are interested in what I’m learning; I read it out loud to them. Thank you TJED!
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.
I have four kids that I am homeschooling. Their ages are 11, 9, 7 & 6. We just finished the Middle Ages and much preferred that over the Ancient Times. They are really excited to learn about the early modern times this Fall.
My kids are 11, 9, 7, 5, 3 and one on the way. We are interested in ancients right now!
My sons are 8, 5, and 2 years old. The five year old is obsessed with medieval times, he loves anything that has to do with knights and castles. My oldest says his favorite is the Age of Exploration because it is full of adventure and different foods to try.
My children are 10,8,5 . We can’t just pick one. We LOVE Ancient Egypt and Old Testament Times. We read Tirzah and The Golden Goble and my son is reading G.A Henty’s The Young Carthaginian, BUT we also love New 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.
My kids are 7, 5, 2, and baby. We love learning about knights and armor and where they are in history.
