Description:

† Contains distinctly Christian content

Elementary U.S. History course with a Christian Worldview.  

PLEASE NOTE:  In class, we will primarily cover the HISTORY portion of the curriculum, focusing on the lessons in the textbook for our lecture, discussion, and activities.

The teacher MAY include a couple of the literature books throughout the year in class discussion.  She will communicate that to you.

Curriculum includes Literature options (if you choose to get the Literature books).  Literature is scheduled on the course page, but we may not have the time to  discuss all literature books during the class time.  Having it laid out on the course page will make it easy to schedule those activities on your own as a family, though.  

Most activities in this course are PARENT GRADED, since they are largely hands on or discussion style.
