Our Study of England

Posted on Jan. 25, 2007 at 10:57 AM

A couple of months ago I had a rather shocking realization … that my older girls only have a few more years of schooling left. I decided that it would be really fun to do a study on something we all love … England! We especially enjoy the Regency, Romantic and Victorian eras so much of our study will be during those times.

We will be studying English history, literature, movies, food, Church history, art, poetry, housing and sewing English period clothes. Something I am really looking forward to learning is how to have, or is it take, a proper Tea. We also plan to take rabbit trails into Ireland, Scotland, Wales and France. I have listed all of our current resources over in my left sidebar. I have more items on my need to buy/want to study list too!

I really enjoy learning with my girls so I am reading along with them. Most books will be read at different times or weeks for each us except our literature selections. We are reading those on the same schedule. Our first book is Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. We are supposed to be reading chapters 7-9 this week … I say supposed to because I am a little behind.

I have had such fun researching and putting together this study. I am so glad we homeschool!

Hiya Rachelle!

Since I'm currently living in England, let me know if there is anything I can help with for you studies! Feel free to ask questions (though I may not always know the answer!), ask about English schooling resources, websites, pictures, or about Wales as my dh's parents are both from there! Have fun!

Tea Time Hi

Your study of England sounds so FUN. As a house of girly girls, we love all that stuff too. At a recent trip to our favorite tea room, I bought the book "Treasuring the Gift of Tea Time" by Julie Loree Peterson. A great book with fun pictures, recipes, and such. Have fun with your studies! - A new friend, Jane
