My five-year-old will love this idea--especially getting to do her own "show" for the grandparents. So, does your whole house study the same period of history at once? We are going to do TWTM, but my kids are 3 years apart. I've wondered how to bring the younger one (now just 2) into our studies once he's old enough. Do I wait to start him on "1st grade" history when he's in second grade and his sister is in fifth grade, doing ancient history for the second time? I am completely inspired.

They are theirs to post what they wish, though, I don't make them post about their schooling unless they chose to on their own. It's a great well to encourage writing without nagging. My daughter started writing stories on her own because of her blog, without me saying a word...and she hated writing before. My son is showing signs of wanting to follow in her footsteps here and there. It's a great resource. They also love reading other kids' blogs when they can find them.
