Titanic Remembrance Day - Resources





I was looking through my notes the other day and realized that I was very far behind on my posts for special days. YILES!!! Then I spotted that today is Titanic Remembrance Day and I knew that I need to put together some resources. Deanna has always been fascinated by the Titanic. I really regret that we never got to go the Titanic Museum while we lived in East Tennessee. Maybe one day we can go check it out.

American Revolution Resources



Now that I am back to sewing, I want to make sure that I have equal blog time for homeschooling. Actually, that's not too difficult to do around here. Now, if I still had a sewing room that might be different... As it is, I have to completely clear 2 ends of my table for sewing, 1 for cutting and pressing, the other for actually sewing. Clearing that much off is a little difficult when we are homeschooling 4 kids! They have to sit somewhere! 



Moving on with my homeschooling posts, the next one up is the American Revolution. 

I am about a year ahead in my planning for history and that's just the way I like it! ;) 

With other subjects like science, animal studies, etc., we tend to do whatever we feel like. I just have to hope that I already have something planned out for whatever they want to do! LOL
