I am really pleased with my choice of Truthquest History this year, and I’m excited that our study of the first colonies just happens to start in November.
Here are some good resources if you are studying the same thing:
The First Thanksgiving is a free site from Scholastic. You can read historical fiction letters, find grade-specific lessons, and print out activities.
A Pioneer Sampler: The Daily Life of a Pioneer Family in 1840
We are loving this book! It goes through the day-to-day life of the fictional Robertson family. The time period is a bit later, but we are reading it now while we have a little more time.
Hands-On History: Colonial America
The older girls are making a notebook using this book. It is filled with interesting activities which are great learning tools & not just a bunch of fluff.
History Pockets: Life in Plymouth Colony
The two younger will be making history pockets.
Who’s Saying What in Jamestown, Thomas Savage?
We learned all kinds of interesting things in this true story about a 13 year old boy who lived in the Jamestown settlement.
Do you have any favorites to share?

You’ve probably noticed my *Jingle* posts by now, so I thought it was time for a proper introduction.
Christmas is just a few weeks away, and I think many of us are having to cut corners and get creative with gifts this year.
*Jingles* are just good deals that I come across throughout my internet adventures and want to pass along to you.
I might *Jingle* about some inexpensive holiday fun or free events.
I will also be *Jingling* about different ways to make a little Christmas cash.
Be sure to subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss any of the fun!!
You can view all of the *Jingles* HERE
