Our Process
Four decades of experience have taught us a thing or two about creating curriculum that works. Here’s how we do it.
Lay the groundwork for a solid understanding of American history. In this K-3rd grade history teacher guide your child will gain familiarity with Early American History concepts, appreciation for the trials and triumphs of those who came before us, and knowledge of our nation’s founding ideals through beautiful and impactful books.
Spark your child’s curiosity with a curriculum that brings history to life for Kindergarten–3rd grade homeschool students. This teacher guide leads parents in teaching an engaging course exploring Indigenous peoples, the Vikings, early explorers, colonial America, the American Revolution, and the founding of the United States. Covering 1000 AD to the mid-1800s, it builds a strong foundation in U.S. history, social studies, geography, and civics.
At the heart of this curriculum is a commitment to using impactful literature for memorable lessons and fostering character development. The guide provides lessons on carefully selected living books that immerse students in meaningful stories to nurture compassion, critical thinking, and a deep connection to the past. These engaging titles help children internalize historical concepts and values through narrative.
Students will explore history through hands-on activities, art appreciation, historical recipes, and enrichment activities that bring subjects to life. Integrated geography and mapping activities further develop understanding and contextual learning.
This open-and-go Teacher Guide includes clear instructions, flexible options, and Bible verses for parents who wish to include biblical reflection. This study is fully customizable, allowing families to tailor activities and elements to fit their learning style, values, and educational goals.
Designed for kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade, this guide provides a social studies curriculum that grows with your student, offering flexibility across grades and years. With the right tools and resources, parents can confidently deliver a full year of immersive, character-building education.
