Another Lynn Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Slache, here's where we talked about BYOB two years ago! :smash: :smash: :smash: (This flashback was brought to you by Luuknam and her likes.) Only two days to enter the Build Your Bundle Giveaway. Has anyone done this? I didn't care for it last year, but I'm much more knowledgeable when it comes to curriculum now. It doesn't say what's in the bundles yet. :glare: You could come to my house and build a couple bundles out of stuff I should stop hoarding saving. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Oh, and Slash is a butthead. Mom, you really should put her in time-out. Darling, you remember our talk about tattling? Sometimes you need to work out your problems by yourselves. And I'm concerned about the name calling. You shouldn't call your sister a mean name. That certainly won't help you work out your problems together. I suggest you go to your room and think about what you've done. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the bacon be sa-a-a-aved? Boys and observers in turn: Quickly pick it up now let us get a look at it Surely it isn't too bad there's just a little bit of rocks and dirt and other stuff-- Conscientious mother: NO!

Another Lynn Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 (Educational post warning) So, I ran across a reference to an American History book by Charlotte Yonge. It's from the late 1800s, free on google books or archived books or something. I've read the first couple chapters. I *sorta* like it, and sorta not sure yet. It credits Columbus on trying to protect the natives from his men, but tells (not details of course) how bad the white men were to the natives and that they were worse off afterwards. So, it does not white wash as much as some books from the era. I like that it's story-ish, but not in a syrupy-written-to children way. I also like the amount of detail it gives with peoples names that makes it feel a little more researched than some history books for children. I have not skipped ahead to chapters dealing with slavery to see how it's dealt with.
