Resource of the Day: Greek Mythology for kids
The study of Greco-Roman mythology is actually fairly important in order to be literate in the English language. The stories so pervade the ancient culture and have been since referenced so much that a basic understanding of at least the major stories helps quite a bit. I've found a cute site for kids:
MythWebWhile it only goes over the Greek versions of the names and stories, it's not hard to then research and find the Roman equivalents if you so desire.

Resource of the Day: Alexander Hamilton resources
Have you seen the Alexander Hamilton exhibition? It's coming to our town in a few weeks, and we may pop in on it. In the meantime, the society that is putting on the exhibition has a GREAT site, full of resources about Alexander Hamilton, one of our founding fathers:
Alexander Hamilton ExhibitionThere's a virtual tour, a document tour, quiz, lesson plans (look under "About the exhibition", then "For Teachers") and more.
Sorry for the light posting this week, I've been working on two exciting projects that have taken up most of my time - more about those next week, hopefully!

Happy New Year! Starting back with the Resource of the Day - Martin Luther King Jr. notebooking pages
Happy 2008, everyone! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season, and that you're rarin' to go in the new year with new subjects, new ideas and lots of energy! After taking a break for the holidays myself, I'm ready to get back to the Resource of the Day.
First up, notebooking pages for Martin Luther King Day:
Homeschool Help Web Notebooking PagesThere are 3 different pages available for MLK notebooking, I hope you like all of them. In addition, you will notice that we provide each notebooking page in 3 varieties; half inch dashed paper, one inch dashed paper, and standard wide rule notebook paper. This way, you can let a wider age range of children work on similar notebooks all at the same time. I hope you find these free notebooking pages to be a blessing in your homeschool!

Resource of the Day: "Ned: Barnardo Boy", a historical chapter book
This week week's freebie from Homeschool eStore is a book title "Ned: Barnardo Boy", and it certainly sounds interesting! From the description:
Ned is nobody’s child. Abandoned as a toddler on the streets of 1870’s London, he must fend for himself and survive by his wits. Discover how Ned finds help at a Ragged School, becomes a “Barnardo boy,” and eventually emigrates to Canada to begin a new life. Ned: Barnardo Boy is a historically accurate children’s book that is delighting children and adults alike. Meticulously researched and full of spiritual truth, Ned is a book your family will treasure.
Available for free this week only, of course - after this week it will be $13.95.
