Good for supplementing your homeschool curriculum.

I have ordered a few of the lessons on history for my 8 yr old grandson. These lessons offer great direction when you are trying to plan lessons . Will definately be using this again.

Great Resource

Great resource I could find during the pandemic. It was perfect for the "Emergency Distance Learning." Thank you for having the resource about the 13 Colonies available and free of charge.

Great product!

I printed this out for my 5th grader, who would normally be learning about the colonies in her class right now. It was a great introduction to that unit! Lots of good information and activities to go with it. Very helpful!
