Apr. 7, 2009 - The Art of Learning...
I am amazed at how much more I learn now, teaching my children, then I did when I attended public school. It saddens me to think how little we appreciated learning when we were young, and even those now that don't understand the importance of learning.
I have come across a great book that explains why learning is so necessary and it was explained in a simple, kind-hearted way that even my 16 year old was enlightened.
I ordered this book from the local library, called "What Really Happened During The Middle Ages" for my teenager who is studying the middle ages but didn't realize the prize I had till my teenager pointed out something that opened up her eyes. I decided to pick up the book and read it for myself. Needless to say I ordered it from Amazon. This would be a valuable resource for any homeschool library. Terri Johnson compiled the book.
In this book you will learn, in a light-hearted story like way, about St. Patrick, Theodora, Alcuin, Good King Wenceslas, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Joan of Arc, Johann Gutenberg, and Martin Luther.
Check it out, you'll be glad you did.
