History Doesn't Have to be Boring

History Doesn't Have to be Boring

Dan will share his methods for how to involve our children in creating their own history notebook with historical maps, timelines, classical literature from the time being studied, and writing about people and events which will make history come alive for them.  

He says, "Tell children the stories of history, such as General Grant's salute to General Lee at the Confederate surrender at Appomattox Courthouse, or the vision of Washington about America's future, or the heavenly messengers who fought for Israel during her 1948 war for independence, and how Napoleon became a great military genius through snowball fights at the Military Academy."
