Don’t let anybody try to convince you that school needs to be a dry regurgitation of facts in order for children to learn. Homeschooling affords us the opportunity to really have fun with school. SchoolhouseTeachers know this and provide some really exciting courses for our students. Take Renaissance History with Rhonda Clark. This 36-week course for elementary and middle school students looks at explorers, art, literature, science, monarchs, religion, and empires in and around Italy, China, Japan, Russia, Africa, and India from the 1100s to the 1700s. Learning occurs through printable study text, written assignments, crafts, notebooking pages, lapbooks, links to videos and related maps, and other activities. Students are guaranteed to learn and to have fun doing so. Cathy Diez-Luckie makes history hands on for preschool and lower elementary students through Figures in History. Full-color cutouts or blank cutouts to color, similar to paper dolls, are available along with facts about an historic person as well as word puzzles or other activities. The current figures are Joan of Arc, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, and William the Conqueror, but they will only be available for a limited time before a new trio is made available.
