Our Very First Post

We have just set up a new website that will be dedicated to our homeschooling activities. Hope you enjoy our new blog!

UPDATE: Our new location is now homeschoolden.com. Our blog was here for a number of years. Then we blogged under the Parents.com umbrella for several years. Finally, in 2015 we moved to our final location homeschoolden.com. We promise, we won't move again!!! ~Liesl

If you have elementary and middle school aged kids and are interested in hands-on activities, I suggest you check out these two pages:

Science Units - Here you'll find links to dozens of posts from the units we've covered: Earth Science, Simple Machines, Rocks and Minerals, our Cell Unit, the Digestive System, Skeletal System, Chemistry (and lots of science experiments), Biomes & Animal Habitats, our Ocean Unit, Weather and Water, our Plants Unit, Astronomy, and Dinosaurs.

History Units -- Again, you'll find links to dozens of our hands-on activities and many of our free printables. We've covered world geography, Ancient India, Ancient China, Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt, World Religions, Native Americans, the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Reformation and tons more!!
