My Father's World and Story of the World Volume 4 Links

My Father's World and Story of the World Volume 4 Links

 
 
For the most part, I get supplemental videos and links from fellow bloggers who have much more extensive lists than I. ( Kelly Christian Academy - MFW - 1850 to Modern Times and Story of the World Volume 4 Video Links ) But I sometimes find things I want to add.  So here is the beginning of my compilations.  I have not completely previewed all content.  Please preview and decide if the content is suitable for your family.

YouTube Video - The Crystal Palace - The Great Exhibition 1851 London  (This was a video of paintings of the Great Exhibition set to music)

    Thank you for sharing these helpful links, Tammie! I haven't been on your blog for a while, so I was so excited to see your new post! I am going to look around for tips on Exploration to 1850, since that's the era in history we are currently at. God bless!

    Thank you for your comment. We were so busy the last couple of years that I have had little time for extras. I am hoping to have the time this year to post more on my blog.

    My main resource for extras has come from Kelly Christian Academy blog which I found last year. You might look there for Exploration to 1850 extras. http://www.kcahomeschool.blogspot.com/2013/07/exploration-to-1850.html
