Years of The Story of the World by Susan Wise Bauer

 Hi there!

This isn't our regularly scheduled programming.  I HAVE posted quite a few WINTER themed items for sale in my TPT Store: Meliora Homeschool Resources, if you are looking for things for Yule, Hanukkah, Christmas, or Kwanzaa for this month's holidays to share with your students.

So, onto the subject at hand!  I use Ambleside Online for some of our lessons/books throughout the year, so I've noticed they had a page that listed the approximate dates featured in each chapter of Story of the World, Vol 4: The Modern Age.

Please note:  I am NOT affiliated with either site, I just think they are wonderful resources for my family, and wish to share what I can for those that also use them.

So, without further ado, here are the approximate dates for each chapter of Story of the World, Volumes 1, 2, & 3.

Welcome!

 Hi all!  Welcome!  Glad to find you here!

Unfortunately, my previous site is in domain limbo, stuck in a transfer between previous platform (Platform S, previously Platform G) to new platform (Platform B).  As such, I've made a blogger to help while I deal with the back and forth of both customer services.

While we wait, please feel free to browse the gallery link below and enjoy some of the past designs.  If you're looking to have something designed for you, please contact us!
