Over Easter, I enjoyed a wonderful visit to England with my family. One of my favourite things about it was being able to experience the rich history of the country dating back many centuries. 😍

I've tried to capture that wonder in our History lesson plans. The sample lesson gives a bit of a taste of how fun and interactive a history lesson can be: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0551/0722/3600/files/Year_1_History_Sample_Weekly_Lesson_Plan.pdf?v=1666896400.

Yesterday I received a wonderful e-mail accompanied by heartwarming pics from Neely Taylor, one of my most long-standing customers at Between the Lines Home Education. Neely is a mom of four, homeschooling her kids in Hebden Bridge, UK. Can't tell you how much this means to see someone using the resources I've created in action with their children. Feeling very blessed and thankful! 🤗 😍
