Look for the Imagination Station books. Your daughter might like Secrets of the Princes Tomb. Also Ranger in Time has an Ancient Rome book.

[@LifeintheMundane]

Oh yes I forgot about those.

I loved the Egypt Game as a kid! The Aeneid is a little hard to get into (I didn’t really appreciate in until college) but a classic. The Odyssey is in the same time period (although Homer instead of Virgil) and a bit easier if you end up needing a switch. It is pronounced “uh-KNEE-id” and I’m not sure if you’ve done Greek mythology, but knowing at least some of it before reading the Aeneid is also helpful.

[@LifeintheMundane]

Thank you for the pronunciation help! Yes they have a lot of Greek mythology background so I’m glad to hear that will be helpful.

[@tori.homeschoolingmom]

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the “Don’t All Religions Lead to God” book!

[@LifeintheMundane]

Im looking forward to reading through that one too

I recently read when the stars are scattered and I loved it!! I’m always on the lookout for a good graphic novel that is appropriate and tells a great story. A few other graphic novels I have loved are: Invisible by Christina Diaz Gonzalez, The First Cat in Space Ate Pizza by Mac Barnett and Shawn Harris (which also has hilarious music and KZbin videos), and then most recently I finished reading the graphic novel format of The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom and that was amazing as well, the story really fit the format very well. If anyone else has any well done clean graphic novel recommendations, I’m here for it!

[@LifeintheMundane]

Oh there are several I have not heard of I will have to add them to my list

[@neverforgetmeever]

@LifeintheMundane I just finished another one I’d add to my list of clean graphic novels for kids! Tomo - I was an eighth grade ninja. I think there are 8 books in the series but I just finished volume 1 and really enjoyed it!

[@LifeintheMundane]

@@neverforgetmeever ohhh yeah I can’t wait to check that out

The Egypt Game was one my favorites growing up! I hope your kids love it as much as I did!

[@LifeintheMundane]

❤️

[@juliequezada7504]

Yes, I too try to get the most eye-catching editions for my kids. I especially love the editions with the pretty award stickers on the front.

[@LifeintheMundane]

Same here!

[@sadie6586]

Omg!! The Egypt Gane was one of my favorites growing up! I hope your kids love it as much as I did :)

[@LifeintheMundane]

Oh that makes me even more excited to have them read it

[@RockSimmer-gal4God]

We loved the door of science book when we got to it in our science history curriculum!!! My kids judge fun books by the cover but not school books!!! My kids hate that they have to learn Greek mythology but don’t mind!!! We love the who was books but my older kids know the story of Stonehenge and I’m not looking forward to teaching it with my younger kids when they get to that age but I will be!!! We’ve just read thru those fables with a different book!!!

[@nancyhansen7103]

When we did world history last school year I found somewhere like a CSI for King Tut. I made a case file with a manila folder. My son basically had to uncover clues how he died. It was (not scary at all or weird) super duper fun. My son loved it.

[@LifeintheMundane]

Oh I want that. Do you have a link?

[@laurapinkham3488]

When you put historical books out for your kids by quarter/ term, do you worry about them not reading them when it would fit best with what they are learning or not even picking ones you want them to read? This year, I let my son just read from a group of books, but there were books that I would have wanted him to read that he didn't. Next year, we will be doing U.S. history, and there are so many great books, but I'm afraid he won't read them at all, read them too early, or too late.

[@LifeintheMundane]

Great question. I thought about this a lot too what I figured is that reading a book a little before or behind what we are reading about in history just gives context to future things they learn or if it’s behind when we cover it then it’s great review and reinforcement. As far as making sure you get to the books you want I would recommend just pairing down the options you lay out. If you want it to be more specific you could set out 2-3choices a month instead of a whole semester. Another option would be to alternate an assigned book and a readers choice.

[@laurapinkham3488]

@@LifeintheMundane thanks!!! These are great ideas.

[@cmmatsko]

Just a heads up, the original Epic of Gilgamesh has a lot of sexual content. I don't know about the version that you have, but I figured I would let you know just in case you want to read it first. We are also studying ancient history next year, so I love seeing these book options.

[@LifeintheMundane]

Oh good to know…I will check that out I had no idea.

[@jessicamoran8962]

Not related to your book haul but thought you might have suggestions. I'm looking for resources that teach Microsoft Suite (Word, Power Point, and Excel) and Google Workspace. Something that has the student work through examples and create something. I just realized it was a hole in our curriculum. Most of the usual places only offer coding.

[@LifeintheMundane]

Is something like this what you are looking for. I have never personally used it but it looks cool www.technokids.com/store/elementary-school/technoeditor/word_processing_for_beginners.aspx
