British History Timeline

Though we are using Ambleside Online for our curriculum, I've really revamped it for myself. We are starting our Term 2 tomorrow for this school year and focusing on British History with Our (An) Island Story. I found this great link to Timeline Characters of the Kings & Queens of England on fellow AO Mom's blog: Little Homeschool Blessings. I am so thankful for this. I think this will make a great addition to our study.

Kings & Queens of England

Pledge of Allegiance

What a wonderful way to remind ourselves and to teach our children what the Pledge of Allegiance actually means. Listen to Red Skelton's story here.

Gettysburg Address

We'll be studying the Civil War next year and in my preparation I found these wonderful recordings of the Gettysburg Address.

	Johnny Cash - Gettysburg Address
	Found at bee mp3 search engine

There are several more options at AmericanRhetoric.com. My favorites are Johnny Cash's recording and Jeff Daniels' recording.
