Travelers History Studies
New from the folks at
Homeschool in the Woods is the Time Travelers History Study
series for grades 3-8! The two unit studies, New
World Explorers and Colonial Life, are designed to create a
fun hands-on learning experience to help reinforce lessons. All of the lesson
plans, text pages, and masters are included on the CD-ROM.
You will need to
purchase a three ring notebook with a clear plastic cover to insert cover pages.
In addition, you need a computer printer to print the lesson plans, masters, and
text pages.
You might know Homeschool in the Woods for their Historical
Timeline Figures Collection on
CD or
pre-printed on sturdy
paper for use in their
Record of Time - Timeline Notebook.
