Home teaching carries with it lovely benefits for the mom who finds out so many interesting stories behind the "information" she may have been given in her growing years, either what didn't seem to reach her mind out of a dry government textbook - or what was simple not taught at all. <br /><br />That "sign" in town gets my appetite up. <br /><br />I like local history, too. Touring (walking inside) historical houses is on of my favorite leisure things to do. <br />Karen A.

It has sparked the desire (for this much older student) to begin again, to take my time and read the books you have suggested! <br /><br />~LynneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-78686314404864186142013-07-04T03:27:38.330-04:002013-07-04T03:27:38.330-04:00I loved your post especially considering that I ju...I loved your post especially considering that I just bought John Smith's World to finish off our Foster collection. <br /><br />We just finished reading George Washington's World and will soon pick up Abraham Lincoln's World.<br />These books have been some of my children's favorites.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05397141781902277266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-37139352488105176392013-07-03T20:14:25.871-04:002013-07-03T20:14:25.871-04:00You are so right....Having been educated in public...You are so right....Having been educated in public school I did not care for history, or rather as you said, social studies. <br /><br />I really think this method of teaching would have made *all* the difference in the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-38229738128275615422013-07-03T17:04:54.238-04:002013-07-03T17:04:54.238-04:00Genevieve Foster's books have an honored place...Genevieve Foster's books have an honored place on our shelf. <br /><br />Our friends have an old log cabin that is used mainly on weekends. It has that lovely wood smell. When I visit, it's all I can do to be sociable. I just want to sit and stare and smell the lovely wood smell. It is nestled in a valley where there are no other houses in sight. Lots of room for dreaming and imagining!<br /><br />I'm starting a quilt for my son. The urge struck the other day when I was glancing at our shelf that holds the quilting and knitting books. The fabric is washed and neatly stacked, awaiting ironing and cutting...<br /><br />SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-28247850769758321192013-07-02T10:35:08.607-04:002013-07-02T10:35:08.607-04:00I love Genevive Foster's History books too!

Fos...I <i>love</i> the history books of Genevieve Foster! Foster proved that history is not a "dry" subject when presented as the stories of men and women. Of course, Charlotte knew this long before, didn't she? <br /><br />I,too, learned "social studies" in public school. I learned about the Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving, about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln...and precious little else. I'm ashamed to say that I was a homeschool mom before I had ever even heard of Lewis and Clark! (And I was not a poor student either.) <br /><br />Learning history along with my children these many years has been a delight! <br /><br />Your log cabin quilt is lovely!

I did enjoy teaching the Civil War period to my fourth graders, and now love history. I am enjoying it along with my children.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14755652309595005430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-68696290661686345382013-07-01T21:37:28.322-04:002013-07-01T21:37:28.322-04:00What a lovely history visit!

That may have helped my lifelong love of history.<br /><br />This love has been passed on to my children. We read many biographies and old diaries from our large library in town. Our favorite room in the library held the vintage collections. I am amazed we were allowed to borrow many of them for reading at home.<br /><br />Blessings<br />Mrs. White<br />The Legacy of HomeMrs. Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13265603931136498066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-32192042995177987972013-07-01T19:21:00.923-04:002013-07-01T19:21:00.923-04:00Lovely post...I'm IN LOVE with old log cabins ...Lovely post...I'm IN LOVE with old log cabins and frequently ask my husband to drive past one that is near our home...I'm always imagining what it must have been like when there was no road right next to it, lonely in it's big woods in WI, sorta like the Ingalls. I LOVE the log cabin block...I recently did a baby quilt using it, but while I loved the fabric I choose, I think I used one fabric that was a bit too bright and I wasn't sure about the outcome. My baby niece Gabrielle doesn't seem to mind though. :) I'll know for next time! These books look so neat, thanks for sharing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291951073853426272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-87949677655214480492013-07-01T16:52:30.218-04:002013-07-01T16:52:30.218-04:00I love G.

When I was in school, I really did not like history but, since we began homeschooling 14 years ago, history is my favorite subject. These books have been some of my favorite and my children have loved them too. In fact, this year my youngest son will have the pleasure of reading Abraham Lincoln's World. I can't wait.michelle.starlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582114636535914425noreply@blogger.com
