Marine Corps Nomads Posts
To continue on with prepping for our upcoming American government study, I went ahead and created notebooking pages for the Vice Presidents to go along with the President notebooking pages.

The Vice Presidents notebooking pages are now part of the Marine Corps Nomads Homeschool Resource Library. They’re still free, but they’re now hosted right here. All of the free homeschool resources are available in one easy-access location. You can sign up for…

That also meant that he wasn’t allowed to take any bathroom breaks which made his filibuster even more impressive. What is a…
Once Munchkin finishes up with Mystery of History Volume 3, we’ll be starting a study of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence as well as a study of the Declaration of Independence itself. For our studies, we’re going to be using For You They Signed by Marilyn Boyer as the spine and then add in some other books and resources. (We had originally received this book as a review item and started using it as part of her history curriculum, but after studying a few of the men, we decided that to truly get an in-depth study we needed…
