Educating Leaders - No Conveyor Belt Education Here!



July 29, 2005 - What's for History this Year?

I had to write an introduction for a group I joined and thought I'd pass it along.  It tells you a little bit more about us.


We just returned from being in Texas since May 1.  My husband told me that we were on the road 26 days in June while speaking at homeschool conferences.  I am looking forward to settling into our new home in Idaho.

 

This is our 3rd year to use Gileskirk as we study through Christendom.  My girls (15, 17) will also be doing Great Books 3 with Wes Callihan.  After hearing many of your comments last year about Great Books and getting to know the Callihans personally, we decided this would be a terrific part of our homeschool this coming year.  My oldest daughter will be taking Lordship at New Saint Andrews, as well.  She's a little hesitant with the reading load, but I am confident she will persevere and succeed. 

 

This afternoon we finish watching our last video in Antiquities.  Since we have had such a sporadic schedule, we are finishing “school” this summer.  Usually we are finished in May and enjoy reading throughout the summer.

 

My son will be studying the same time period using Truth Quest History, my absolute favorite history curriculum ever.  I have tried many other curricula over the past 3 years and always come back to Truth Quest.
