Web Site

I don't think anyone is actually going to see this, but I thought I'd mention that I'm building a web site. It's at literallyhomeschool.weebly.com  and it a homeschool website. Right now I'm building preschool pages. I've got a list of best picture books and several other pages nearly complete. Once that site is more complete, I may come back to this blog and modify it a bit - probably for use in making Bible Studies that could be compatible with the program. For now, if anyone actually stops by this site, check that one out for something that looks a bit more polished and appealing.

Homeschooling Movies

Out of my love of list-making, I've created several movie lists. Mostly they were made with an eye towards saving me time in the future, when I have kids. 

This first list is 'pop culture'. Basically it contains every movie I think our children should watch before they move out of the home.  That's a lot of movies! And it keeps growing every year. 
Huge List of Movies Every Child Should See

Then I have several lists to supplement a study of History and Literature. We'll be reading soooo many books and I think it'll be nice to occasionally choose a movie instead and by making these lists now, long before I'll need to actually hunt down a film for a particular time period, I think I'll be saving myself a lot of hassle down the road. And even if I'm not, the lists were still fun to make!
Here are the lists:
Ancient World

Medieval through Elizabethan Era Movies

Colonial and Revolutionary Movies

19th Century History

One of these days I'll get around to making a list for the modern era. Or, more likely two lists, since the 20th and 21st centuries are rather jam-packed with historical films.
