I wanted to post this incase there are homeschoolers that are not aware of this opportunity that the History Channel offers to educators.
The link is http://www.history.com/classroom/classroom.html

You can sign up for their newsletter which will keep you up to date on programs they will be airing. They give you links for more information when needed. They have an interactive site up right now for the kids and adults to learn more about Jamestown.
They give discussion question ideas with some of their program information. They also usually will tell you what grade level (such as middle school/high school) the program fits well with.
However, I have found that you can change things around if you are using them with younger children.

If you don't have the history channel, I still suggest signing up for this. It can give you ideas for things to introduce to your children and you can still take advantage of their website information.

I was just thinking of another site that would be helpful also for science and history. www.nationalgeographic.com

They also have a kids section. Right now they have a link for kids to learn more about John Smith and Jamestown in their games section. And then of course all the other things they offer children and adults. There shouldn't be too many problems finding something that is appropriate for every age group. (I am guilty of playing the games myself. lol..but I think every now and then we all need to learn things in fun ways).
The direct link to the kids section is http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/

My kids go to this one all the time. I was trying to find something my oldest wanted to send me from there that may have ended up in my bulk file and deleted, which reminded me that I wanted to share it with all of you that may not have thought of their site. Or may not have been to it in awhile.
