C-Span Classroom revisited!

Here is an update on this post:

First of all, this timeline is HUGE and wonderful!
And it is still available.

C-Span really seems to like homeschoolers and they include home schools in their offerings. I participated in a contest at their C-Span Classroom and I won a Flip camera! I was very excited of course and went back and forth with the nice lady who emailed me about it and she was excited about the surge in homeschool participation. Lovely to be not just allowed but actually welcomed!

If you haven't checked out the C-Span Classroom website, definitely put it on your Take A Look list.

100 Historical Sites Every American Should See

I have been swamped trying to get some workshops ready for a local conference but I really want you to see this handy site:

100 Historical Sites Every American Should See

The descriptions are short and sweet and each one is linked to a website about the site which makes it convenient. It is divided into sections like Natural Wonders and Memorials. Definitely something to bookmark and use for inspiration!
