Historical Fiction of the Ancient Time Period - Blog Entry05 Feb 2007 04:28 PM Another excellent resource is www.readingyourwaythroughhistory.com Historical Fiction of the Modern Time Period - Blog Entry03 Feb 2007 09:50 AM We love historical fiction, too. We just finished "My Friend, the Enemy" which was a nicely done one that deals indirectly with the Japanese internment camps during WWII. This year, for WWII, we also loved Hilda Van Stockum's The Winged Watchman, and The Borrowed House. Some other terrific titles were Ian Serraillier's Escape from Warsaw, Marie McSwigan's Snow Treasure, and Margaretha Shemin's The Little Riders. Andrea, we just read When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit a couple months ago, too, and thoroughly enjoyed that one as well.

If You Don't Like it You can Homeschool - Blog Entry01 Feb 2007 10:40 AM I'm with you, Andrea. I'm definitely for the opt-in rather than the opt-out. Parents are still the primary educators of their children, even when they choose to make use of public schools. Their authority over their children, and their decisions in the best interest of their children should be respected. |
