The study of history is a difficult thing for young students since they such a limited sense of time and personal history themselves. For many grade fours it is a hard thing to understand that dinosaurs and the knights of the round table are not things that happened at the same time. For parents who are rediscovering their knowledge of history, an interesting site is:
World History International ~ World History from the Neolithic to the Present
