Have you ever done a Medieval Feast? If so, do you have any ideas to add?
What history and geography activities have you been doing?
I have really enjoyed the community of homeschoolers we have built here and I encourage you to check out the links you may not have seen and make a comment on the posts.
As always I hope that you continue to link your new (and old) posts with any history and geography topic to this meme every Thursday.

We will be taking a blogging-Meme break until after Labor Day, however you can continue to link up your posts all month.

Don't forget to link up to the Multicultural Kids Blog's Blog Hop each month.

Remember that I am pinning all posts to Pinterest.
