Free WWII Homeschool Resources
Okay, I was on a homeschool facebook forum again which has now gotten me 2 hours off trac , lol. A mom posted how her son loves History and reading about World War II. So off I set to find resources to share with her and all of you with budding History Buffs!
I love Genealogy but hated History, weird right? Well, it was always about facts, dates, places and not about the REAL PEOPLE that experienced the History. Doing the research for this post made me excited to find so many free resources and to learn more about WWII myself. Now if I could just fit it in with everything else I am doing:) Maybe I can download some free Kindle books to read while I am in labor,lol.
