Amber loves history! She likes to find a history fact for the day and then she will find a book or encyclopedia about her fact and take it to bed with her at night. When the Review Crew was offered This Week In History from Thomas Jefferson Education I knew she would love it.
This Week In History is a daily resource that will take you on an adventure. Each day you will discover historical events in math, science, language skills, geography, current events, the arts, and more. The content bundle can be viewed online at Thomas Jefferson Education or directly from your email inbox. All the content can be search by date, topic, or key word.
This Week In History is a part of Thomas Jefferson Education and they believe in four phases of learning: core phase, love of learning phase, transition to scholar phase, and scholar phase. They also believe there are 7 principles of successful education. When they are applied, learning occurs for any learning style or interests. When they are ignored or rejected, the quantity and quality of education decreases. The 7 principles of great teaching are:
- Classics, Not Textbooks
- Mentors, Not Professors
- Inspire, Not Require
- Structure Time, Not Content
- Simplicity, Not Complexity
- Quality, Not Conformity
- You, Not Them
Included with the history facts are writing or discussion ideas and a list of resources. The resource include links for further information, activities, music, science projects, lab sheets, articles from magazines, games, coloring pages, and so much more.

We are on our break from school and this has been a great resource for the kids to
