I would love the Colonial American book because I teach 5th grade. Colonial America is in our benchmarks and I enjoy doing projects with my kids.

I’d love to take a gander at either one, but have so much on my back-to-school reading list that I don’t know if I’ll have the time before I must march back to class! BTW, it’s that time of week again–please drop on in for a little Silly Summer Sunday Sweepstakes. You have 2 chances to play!

My sons enjoy learning about historical events and other cultures! These books would be fun to win. Please enter us in your giveaway drawing. I appreciate it! Many thanks, Cindi

We’re studying the ancients this year. The Ancient Greeks book is on my wish list.

Shez at Homeschooled Twins

My son would enjoy either book, he enjoys project books. And it looks like he would learn some history with these books on top of finding some new projects to work on.

Wow what great books. I am very interested in history now, never was in school & I regret that. I’d love to win the Great Colonial Projects You Can Build Yourself. I think it would really benefit my daughters and help them start a love of history now while in school! I’d like that one because it is along the lines of things they are both learning in school right now (well this grade level in the fall)

I would love to win the Ancient Greeks book because we are studying the ancients with Story of the World Vol. 1. We love hands on projects and having extra ideas to chose from would be wonderful.

I would like to win the Ancient Greeks book for my daughter to use for her studies. Great giveaway, thanks!

I would like the Great Colonial America Projects book to use in our homeschool.

We’re working through Story of the World Volume 1 this year, the Ancients, so I would love a copy of Kris’s Ancient Greeks book to add extra spice to our studies. Thanks!

We hope to raise our children in Africa, which means we will need to supplement their education. The Colonial History book would be perfect for them to learn more about American History!

We completely loved the Colonial book that Kris wrote. And we learned so much from it. So, I know that my son would really enjoy the Ancient Greek book. I’m looking forward to the book she has coming out in September, too. It’s about medieval history, and my son is outrageously interested in that. What is it about boys and history? Cool, huh?

Either would be great, but the Ancient Greek book would be fun. Then our kids could be our tour guide when we go!!

The Ancient Greeks sounds great. I think it would be neat and help my son understand the New Testament better.

Wow, so glad I found you — what an interesting site.

Both books look great, so it’s hard for me to pick. I’ll put my name in for the Ancient Greeks.

I’ll be back to visit some more. Thanks for joining the giveaway.

I would choose the Ancient Greek book for myself. I am taking a class on Ancient Greece in the fall, and I have noticed books meant for children are not near as boring as my college books.

I would love the colonial projects book! I would use it with my daughter and tie it in with a visit to our local living history museum.

I’ll say I want the Greek book…but, I’d love both either way lol. I’d use it for homeschooling and for group activities with our local parenting group! Awesome, and thanks for the chance to win!!

Wow, what a great set of books. I’m impressed. Thanks for entering me.

I am a homeschooler also and we are really into the Colonial time period so that would be my wish!

Colonial America would be my first choice - We know that history isn’t a strong point for American kids, but I think it can be more relevant if we start at home. Easier to relate to!

I would love the ancient greeks book. I loved stuying it when I was little, and would love to share it with my kids.

I homeschool and we are studying American history this year. The Colonial Ameria book would be great but the other book would be wonderful too. Thanks!

I’d love the history book. The American Revolution is my favorite time period. Been to the Freedom Trail in Boston and loved it. I’m a homeschooler so I’d use this at home with my children with great fun. Kathy

While we would be thrilled to have either book, I would put the Ancient Greek book as the top book. We plan on studying Ancient Greece during our homeschool year in the coming year. Thank you!!

I would choose the Great Colonial Projects You Can Build Yourself. WE homeschool, so I know this would come in handy!

I would choose the Great Colonial Projects…to add to our homeschooling library!

I would like the one on Ancient Greeks, since my daughter is doing ancient history starting this coming fall. We love hands-on projects for learning.

Hmm. I think the Greek book, because that seems to be an era that we have not canvassed enough in our homeschool.

My kiddos are still too young for these books, but if I win I would keep them safe and certainly use them in a few years! I love teaching my children new things and these books look so fun! Thanks for the giveaway.

hi. i happened upon your blog through the bloggygiveaway carnival. i love the books you chose to give away. i would love the Great Colonial Projects book. my husband is a history buff and i think this would be a great way to help both of us interact with our kids while learning about the history of our great country.
thanks for the chance!

kate

Oh dear, please delete either this entry or the one I just made. I can’t believe I forgot to write which book I would prefer. I like the Colonial America book because I loved learning about that era as a kid. Thanks!

I would like the greek book. I used to love greek things as a kid and I think my oldest dd would like this book as well

I think I’d particularly like the Colonial America book for my daughters. My husband is a major American history buff, and very much into hands-on projects, so I think this would be great for some father/daughter bonding time. Thanks so much!

I would love to win either, but if I have to pick one, I would choose
Tools of the Ancient Greeks: A Kid’s Guide to the History & Science of Life in Ancient Greece.

My son is facinated with Greece and History, so this would be perfect, he would really enjoy reading and learning thru this tool.

These look great! My 9-year-old just studied colonial days in school last year, so I know he’d love to dive in and do some cool projects relating to what he’s learned. But both books look fantastic!

I would love the Ancient Greeks book. My son really loves reading about ancient civilizations.

owatz (AT) telus (DOT) net

Oh, as a homeschooler and history major, this is a TOUGH choice, but I guess I have to go with the Greek book because my daughter is studying ancient history right now.

I would like the Ancient Greeks book. My son studied this last year, and to be perfectly honest, didn’t quite focus and got a bad grade in History. I’d love to use this book as a fun way for him to learn about Ancient Greeks that he would actually be into! I also might use it in my classroom next year:)

Either one for homeschool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, the Ancient Greeks book! Wow, that looks so fun. We love to travel, and even though my son is a little young yet for this one, we set aside books for him all the time. Greece is on the “someday” list. How cool for him to learn before we go!

themommyspot(at)gmail(dot)com

These look like great books! I love history and I really want to pass that onto my children. My dd isn’t old enough yet for these books, but will be before I know it. I plan on homeschooling and this would be a great addition to our school. The Colonial America project books looks great!

Colonial Ameria project! Wish I had these when I was younger. These would have helped me out a lot in history!!

fivewinks at cox dot net

My friend is a librian and is always wanting new childrens books. If I win the Great Colonial Projects You Can Build Yourself I would donate it so lts of kids could enjoy it! Thanks!

We homeschool and these would make a wonderful addition to our bookshelf.

I was just talking to my friend about homeschooling yesterday.

I think I would vote to win the colonial book first.
We are homeschoolers. This year my Princess is working on American history. She is dyslexic and adhd so she loves hands on experiences. We are also in the fall in Co-op this year having an American Party. I bet there would be something in that book that might help me with planning that special party.

but if I wont the other book I would give it to a dear friend of mine who has been begging me for ideas on Greece. lol

Have a great time with the contests..

I’d be happy to win either one, but I’d particularly like the Ancient Greece one. I’d use it with my 10 and 9 year old sons. It’d be a great learning experience.

I would pick the Greece book because I have a harder time teaching that era of history. My son will soon be just the right age to appreciate all those old-time battles and buildings and such.

Thanks for the chance to win!

I would love the Colonial American book for my 9-year old daughter. She is very interested in history, especially American history. I know next-to-nothing about it, so we need all the help we can get. Thanks for the great giveaway.

I would love the colonial America book, I teach ESL and this would be much more exciting prep for the state social studies test then the boring workbooks they make us use.

As a homeschool mom I would love the “Great Colonial Projects You Can Build Yourself” My kids would LOVE this.

Please include me in your drawing
Thanks

The Ancient Greeks book would be a fabulous addition to our homeschool library. We’ll be studying ancient history next homeschool year.

Sounds like a lot of fun! Please count me in!

I would love the Ancient Greeks book. My son LOVES to study the greeks and romans, this would be a wonderful book for his collection!

We are homeschoolers and always looking for great finds like this. I think my kids would especially enjoy the one about the Greeks. Thanks for the chance to win.

I’d love the Colonial America book. We homeschool and this would be a GREAT addition to our studies! Thanks!

I’d love the great America book - I love learning about that time in history and would love to share it with my kids. Thanks!

The Ancient Greeks. Our family is Greek so the kids are very much interested in that topic.
gkstratos@yahoo.com

Would love either one for my grandson, never to young to learn of history!

I would like either one, but the Ancient Greeks one looks espcially intriguing!

I would like the Colonial America book. This looks great!

tigerjennv(at)yahoo(dot)com

I guess the Colonial American book would get my first vote. My children aren’t ready for it yet, but it’d be a great resource to tuck away till a little later — it’s one of my favorite times in history, too.
Thanks!

Oh, I love the “Great Colonial Projects You Can Build Yourself”. We educate at home and love projects that we can do as a family. How cool!

I would love either since I am a teacher and I would spread the love to whomever could use the book I won. I would first choose the Greek book and then the col. America book. Thanks for the giveaway. I hope I win.

The book on the Greeks would be absolutely perfect for my godchild.

We homeschool our children and we study a lot in ancient history, so the Ancient Greeks book is the most interesting to me. However, in about two years we’ll be on to the period of time in which the colonies were born, so that would be a great book, too.

Ooo! It’s so hard to pick. Either one would be great. I think though, if I had to pick it would be the colonial one, because National Treasure was a really awesome movie. I could do the activities with my sister, who just turned 12. I know she really liked National Treasure too.

Oh, it is so hard to choose!! We’ll be covering both subjects in the future and both would be great! I think the Colonial America one would be used first, so I choose that one! Can always use more homeschooling resources! Thanks!

I would like the Colonial book. I am not too clever when it comes to crafts, so I could use all the help I can get.

The Great Colonial America Projects would be great for my family. I see it has Native American games which is neat since were a quarter Native American.

Oh, thank you! This is right up our alley. My daughter loves learning American History, and my son, Greek History. I need projects like these to make it more hands-on for them! This would be a great add to our curriculum!

Greek book would be great for a little family history!

I wish we’d had these a few years ago, but I would still love to work on some of the projects with the kids in the church.

I would like the Great Colonial America Projects. My nieces would learn a lot from it!

Would love to have the Great Colonial America Projects book for my little girl. We are planning on homeschooling her, and could use all of the resources we can get.

I’m also giving away something, so check me out #64 on the giveaway.

Considering this is a big United States History year for my son I’d choose the Colonial America Projects. Thanks for the chance.

My girls would love the Ancient Greece book! We’re starting homeschool this fall.

If I’m a winner, I would like the Tools of the Ancient Greeks: A Kid’s Guide to the History & Science of Life in Ancient Greece. This book will be included in the learning library for the youth center that I work at. Thanks!

My boys would love the Colonial America project book, as they are avid fans of Early American History. Thanks!

Ooooh! The Great Colonial Projects. I’m doing US History this year wtih my son!

So hard to pick! I think I’d like the Colonial book, though. I just started homeschooling and am excited about your site. Just added you to my reader.

The Great Colonial Projects. My 9 year old LOVES American history, he would enjoy this much

I Love history books. Especially doing the Charlotte Mason method of homeschooling. Count me in!
Blessings,
Kim

I would use them with our homeschooling what a great lesson guide.

I would use them in homeschooling! They both look great, but the colonial one caught my eye.
sdyjak@gmail.com

I plan to homeschool when the time comes, I’d love to be able to use the Colonial America Projects! It looks awesome!

(Plus as a history major myself, I admit I’d love to play with it too lol)

I’d love to win the Ancient Greeks. We’re homeschooling, so it’ll be handy.

Well I would like the colonial one and I would use it in my 9 yr olds homeschool this year. WE are studying American history so this would be perfect.

I could use this to eaach the boys about our great counrty. Please send my The Great Colonial Projects if I win.

Great giveaway! Ancient greeks for me I hope I’m the lucky winner

I’m having so much fun blog hopping!

I love the colonial period and would love to share the interest and excitement with my children.

I’d like to win the Colonial America book. My oldest son really enjoyed learning about Colonial life this year in school. I’m sure he’d love doing the projects and his little brothers might have fun with it, as well! Thanks for a great giveaway!

Oh boy!! I’d love both..I homeschool my kids, so they’d go to great use

I would like the Ancient Greeks book. I’m sure both of my sons would love it and we parents would probably get a kick out of it too.

Oh Kelly, I’m really, really excited about this giveaway. I homeschool, so I’m seeing this incorporated easily into our studies and us having lots and lots of fun. On top of that, my girls are learning the Greek language (a continuation of last year), so the book on Ancient Greeks would be perfect. We could use either one of these easily, but I’m leaning toward the Ancient Greeks. If I win one, I’m going to look into buying the other one. What a great giveaway!! Thanks.

My son would love either one of the books! He’s a history nut! thanks, Kristen

ryankristenwilson@msn.com

OOoh, exciting. I’d love the Colonial History one. I teach 4th & 5th grade public school & I’m sure I could use this in my classroom, either for whole class projects or extra credit assignments. Thanks!

I would love the Ancient Greeks book. I got the chance to go to Greece and would love to make this amazing place, so full of history, come alive for my son. Thanks!!

Would love the ancient greeks one. About to start studying Creation to Greeks with my 4 oldest, and it would be a welcome addition..

Ooh, my oldest is about to embark on the world of hands-on projects for school–these sounds like they would make it so much more interesting! Thanks for the recommendations!

I would like the Ancient Greek one to use in my classroom. I love hands-on activities.

hallie.renee@gmail.com

Oh the “Great Colonial America Projects” sounds wonderful. I would love to do some of these projects with the kids. I have a history buff in the house and we watch a lot of History on TV but I think the kids would enjoy a hands on project much better~! Thanks!!

DS would enjoy either of these, we studied ancient greece last year.

He is definitely a project learner!

Great giveaway!!

Fabulous!! Thanks for the chance.

I would like the Colonial book-it will go great with the Johnny Tremain movie we already have. We could make projects and then relate them to the movie.

Its hard to choose. My oldest is only 5 but I would like the colonial one to read to her. But I would also like the Greek one to read myself LOL

I would love the colonial one! Thanks for the entry

Would love either of these! My husband is a teacher, and we are stocking up for homeschooling as well.

I would love the Ancient Greeks book. I homeschool and next year we are going to delve into that period.

Definately the Colonial one for my little Americana history buff.

Both books look great but I’d choose the colonial book, we’re starting a unit on American History this fall for homeschool, this book would fit right in

I have two boys, 10 and 6, who would love the Colonial American book (and a 4-year-old who would love to “help” with the projects). My 6-year-old is advanced and I’ve been looking for ways to supplement his public school education. This would be right up his alley!

Thanks for the chance to win!
Paula

I would like the Colonial American Book. My husband and I are both teachers and could both use this as a resource. Thanks. Amber

Ohhhh! Yay! a bloggy give away perfect for a homeschool family!

We are starting SOTW 3, and I would love to incorporate more American History. So any about the Explorers or the Colonials would be a wonderful addition to our day.

Thank you for your generosity.

Tools Of The Ancient Greeks sounds wonderful and I’d share it with my nephew; I’m trying to get him more interested in ancient civilizations and this seems like it would be a wonderful tool:)
belinda_streak(at)hotmail(dot)com

The Ancient Greeks book is what I would choose. I’d love to share it with my children.

The Colonial book sounds most interesting to me. I’d use it in a few years when my son is old enough for it, and we’re (hopefully) homeschooling him.

Thank you SO much for the chance to win!!! I think I would like the Colonial American book.

I would love the Great American colonial projects book, for my Goddaughters their at the age where interest in school if very high for them and it very hard to find interesting reading material on tough subjects. Thanks for the contest

I have a 9, and a 13 and i would love to share either of these book with them. if i have to pick Great Colonial book.

Tools of the Ancient Greeks: A Kid’s Guide to the History & Science of Life in Ancient Greece. would be perfect for my kid as she is currently in a ancient greek history class this year.

I would love either book- I would donate it to my children’s school library.

I teach high school history. I don’t want my students to be like the people who, upon hearing what I do for a living, say “Boy, I really hated history in school. It was so boring and so many dates and facts.” I use projects and other interactive activities in my classroom as much as possible.

You might be thinking that something like this isn’t really for high school kids, but I’ve found that not only are there not so many great materials for high school kids, but also that the stuff geared for younger kids and then modified work the best.

So, I’d really love the Colonial America Projects.
THANKS!!

I’d like to try the Ancient Greeks book. My kids have heard a fair amount of Colonial American history in school, but I don’t think they know anything about Ancient Greece.

The Great Colonial America Project looks like a great book! The kids would love it!

I would like the Ancient Greeks book - my son is very mechanically minded and I think this would be a great way for him to relate the tools he uses now to the tools that were invented back then.

I love the Colonial America book, but either would be great! We’re very into History here and my 10-year-old would go crazy for either! He’s tackled many of the projects in The Dangerous Book for Boys and he needs something new to take on. :o)
Thanks for the opp to enter! MAke sure you visit my giveaways!

I would LOVE to get my hands on the Great Colonial Projects You Can Build Yourself book. I have a 5th grade 10 yr old and we would use this in our homeschool studies. Either book would be great though. Thanks for offering such a great prize!

My daughter is becoming a teacher so anyone of these books would be wonderful. She visits the school every week and this would be a fun help to her. Count me in

Any book is great

Definitely the Great Colonial Projects books. I would want to spark my son’s interest in history! Thanks for such a great giveaway!

hmmm..hard choice. I think I would pick the Colonial one. We are starting our second year of homeschooling this fall, so it would be very handy.

Either book would be great. My husband and my oldest boy loves learning about history and doing hands on projects. This is a great prize.

These would be fantastic for my little guys!

These would be fantastic for my little guys! We would love the Colonial book as well, but either would be great.

I am a Classical Archeology major and I would LOVE to get my hands on the Ancient Greek book for my son when he gets older or for my cousin for a Christmas present.

alexandra.hancock@gmail.com

Very cool books! We would love the Colonial America book as we are studying Early American History this year.

We are planning trips to Jamestown and Williamsburg, so we’d love the Colonial projects book. But my 9 yo with Asperger’s is enthralled with Ancient Civ. I’ll leave the choice in your hands!!

I’d have to say the Greek because we’re getting ready to study Greece. But either one would be great as we will be doing Early American history soon lol. What an awesome giveaway. I’ll have to check out more of your blog.

thank you! i’d love the ancient greek book- i’d use it when my kids and i get to that point in our homeschool ancient history studies. aebg1974 at bellsouth dot net

I would chose the colonial projects book and give it to a friend of mine that homeschools…I think they could get some great activities out of it! Thanks!

I teach 5th grade in a christian school and would love the US history one

Great Colonial America Projects You Can Build Yourself!

I’m homeschooling my 2nd, 7th, and 9th grade girls for the first time this fall. They’re very hands on kids and I’m anxious to get them out of the textbook & into real life, past & present!

These sound like great fun. I would love either book.

I think the colonial america projects book would be great.

Wow! They both look like great books. We homeschool/unschool so love books on all topics. This would be a great addition to our library. The Ancient Greeks would really interest my 9 yr old.

We’d LOVE to have the Colonial Times book- we were enthralled by the John Adams series, and form there, we’ve been examining all things revolutionary- Please add us!

The project book sounds so interesting! My sons love to build and make things and so both of them made it hard to decide which one! Even if I do not win this one, I will be on the lookout for these books!
martha(at)lclink (dot) com

My youngest would really enjoy these!!! I would choose the book about Ancient Greece since his dad is a huge fan of Ancient Greece as well. It would give him and his dad something to do together that they would both enjoy!!!

I love to read and these books look good! thanks for the contest

I would love to win the Colonial America books - I homeschool and we could have a lot of fun with that - it is one of my favorite history periods!

Thanks for a great giveaway!
Nancy @ Homemade Blessings

I recently found out I was part Greek. I would like the book on Greek History to teach my kids about part of their heritage.

I would love to use these in our home schooling.

Hmm…decisions, decisions, decisions. I like both a lot. I am trying to think which one we be more likely to use next. If I follow classical approach, then I guess my next cue would be Greek, but either would be a sweet blessing indeed.

Thank you for this opportunity!

I have a history addict! He’d love these!

I’d go with the Ancient Greeks book, although it’s a tough choice. We homeschool, so I’d use the books for school.

My 7 year old would adore these books. She is so into history and science.

Oh, so hard to choose!! We do 18th century re-enacting so we’re always looking to learn more about that time period. We also homeschool and we’ll be doing a lot about the ancient Greeks this year. Hmmmm. I’d go with Greeks if I have to but both are wonderful!

Both books are interesting! I’d use it for my children and my hubby said he’d even be interested in reading these!

phillipsonlygirl at gmail dot com

I would choose the Colonial America book which is coincidentally where we are in history starting next year.

Great give away! Thanks! Colonial America

I would take either one because History of any kind is precious and valuable. What wonderful books!

Please include me. And, thanks for being so generous!

KJ

I know my dd would love either so I’ll pick for her. I’ll go with Colonial America since we can use that for this coming year. She’s into the history of our country and loves hands on activities. Thanks for the giveaway!

I have honestly been wanting the Greek book for quite awhile now so I would squeal like my 5 year old if I won that. Hey, it doesn’t take much to make us homeschoolers happy. LOL

The Colonial book would be great as my eldest daughter eats up that era in history. It would be a great addition to our homeschool library.

I would love to win either book: my older daughter loves to read and is absolutely fascinated with history, I’m sure she’d enjoy either of these books. If I had to pick one, I’d go with Colonial America as we already have two books about ancient Greece (different from t
