From Native American Indians to the signing of the Constitution; from immigrants seeking a life of freedom to historic heroes of American history -- let the pages of our history come alive for your student through true and fiction stories, games, and activities. Students will choose memorize one item (or more) throughout the year: Pledge of Allegiance, Patriotic songs and poems, quotes, etc.

For our final week, sign up with your teacher to bring an “American” dish to share for our Celebrate America Party.

Elementary American Literature Teach the Teacher Lessons

Each week, I'll post a video to walk your co-op teacher or homeschool mom through how to teach that week's lessons. Almost all the ideas are geared toward having 3 or more kids in a group, but many of the ideas can be used in an individual homeschool. These lessons are provided FREE to help other homeschoolers live in the freedom that homeschooling has brought to our family.
