Long before 1492, people built cities and farmed the Three Sisters. America's story starts here.

Looks like a scene from a sci-fi film but it’s just my drive to work this morning

@strongfemchar Ha, that one got me. Hope the weekend brings a little extra sleep.

@NASA These two have been in the family photo a long time. Giovanni Cassini spotted both Tethys and Dione through his telescope back in 1684.

@AmRevMuseum What a treasure to see up close. Stanton helped write the 1848 Declaration of Sentiments, and she modeled it on the Declaration of Independence.

@River_Houses Fun one to watch together on a clear night. The Leonids are dust left behind by Comet Tempel-Tuttle, which takes about 33 years to loop around the Sun.

@ZanTyler For us it's when a story comes back up at dinner days later without anyone prompting it. That tells me more than any quiz score.

@Henrybuilds91 You're not the only one. Full-time job, family, homeschool, and a few AI projects on the side here too. Would love to hear what's working with the homeschool agent.

@IvanaDGreco We've been trying the same thing. Dinner is about the only time all four of us sit still at once, so it's worth protecting.

Homeschooling alongside a full-time job means our history lessons have to fit into the cracks of the day. Listening to a short story together has worked better for our family than anything that needs a desk and a stack of worksheets.

@_neverboredwife Ouch! Glad it wasn't worse. Score one for lifting. Hope the wrist heals up quickly.

@Laurenkathryn28 @RevKevDeYoung Good illustrations make such a difference with a storybook. What age range did you find it works best for?

@USNatArchives @USMC Happy birthday to the Marines! The first Continental Marines were recruited at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, which is why Marines still remember it as their birthplace.

@whencyclopedia A great one to read aloud with families. The original Compact was lost long ago, so we know its words from William Bradford's writings, and 41 men signed it while the Mayflower sat at anchor off Cape Cod.

@MountVernon Such a tense week in 1776. When Fort Washington fell on November 16, more than 2,800 American soldiers were taken prisoner in a single day.

Was Uncle Sam a real man? There was a Samuel Wilson, a meatpacker in Troy, New York, in the War of 1812. His story is true, but it may not be the whole story.

@ConstitutionCtr Such a good story for today. The first Veterans Day under the new law fell on October 25, 1971, and after so many states kept honoring November 11, it moved back to the 11th in 1978.

[Just Listen Learning @zachmoffett]

@WWIImuseum Thank you to every veteran today. Yank was written by enlisted soldiers for enlisted soldiers and cost just a nickel, so Corporal Ryan was reading news from men just like him.

@NASAhistory What a milestone to share with families! Voyager 1 lifted off on September 5, 1977, and nearly 50 years later it's still sending data home from interstellar space.

We homeschool, and history is my part. So I built a Grok Bot to help. It researches a topic from two solid sources, writes a warm story your family can listen to, and makes a free printable worksheet to go with it.

I shared it as a free template, so anyone can use it:
