Description
Providing a gentle introduction into the subject of “social studies”, My Family, My Life focuses on understanding God’s love for us and others. The text is divided into five Quests, each focusing on a different topic: family and culture, citizenship, geography, and financial things. Through the one-year course, children learn about holidays, traditions around the world, helpers and community leaders, needs vs. wants, chores and jobs, and more. Quests end with food time, where they are introduced to different types of foods from around the world. Suggested schedule is 2 days per week, 30 minutes each day.
Publisher's Description of My Story K: My Family, My Life
My Story K: My Family, My Life is a kindergarten social studies course. Social studies for this age typically includes introductions to family and culture, what it is to be a good citizen, basic geography and understanding simple maps, and basic economics and the value of things, ultimately aiming toward a better understanding of God’s love for us, our families, and other people in the world. The course begins at the core with a foundation of family, neighborhood, and church. My Story K is an adventure-based curriculum that encourages families to explore the world together through four quests, and to understand it better from God’s perspective.
Category Description for My Story Elementary Social Studies
The My Story series is an adventure-based social studies course for lower elementary students that encourages families to explore the world together through four nine-week quests that regularly reference family, community, and the church. Book 1, My Story and the World around Me, begins with understanding the place of family life and then slowly expands to include information about regions both near and far. It exposes students to local, regional, and national landmarks within the U.S. and eventually expands to include several cultural, geographical and political features existing in foreign lands. This book includes plenty of interactive lesson material, key vocabulary terms, and worksheets and quizzes for each section of the text. Volume two, My Story my Country my World, exposes students to an expanded journey around the world and lays a foundation for understanding state and federal governments, basic economic and geographical principles, as well as world social and cultural norms. Each of these consumable worktexts contain a steady stream of full-color photos and images, hands-on projects, and text that is easy for young children to read. 408 pgs, pb. ~ Mike

Fine, I guess
It was fine. I would think there has to be something better out there. I struggled with the language time sections - if kids are not going to memorize how to say thank you in 36 different languages, why even cover it? Why not focus on 9 and repeat them like they do with bible verses? Day two seems very short and like filler work. Overall disappointed.

My Story K
This is one of my favourite Masterbooks courses! It is scheduled for 2 days a week, but you can do both lessons in one day if you have an eager learner. It caters for different learning styles. Children learn about God, His love for the world and families. Children get introduced to basic maps and economy. Faith and character building are like golden threads throughout the course and the lessons trigger great discussions. I love the gentle approach and highly recommend this for young children for an introduction to social studies.

Great Kindergarten Social Studies Course
This is a very well done Kindergarten social studies course. It teaches your child to understand God's love for them and for all of His people. The pictures are so vibrant and engaging. I loved the faith lessons and the scripture cards. I also loved the language lesson in each lesson. My child learned to say words from countries all over the world while also learning where that country was and what the people there looked like. One bonus thing in this book which I loved is the little tidbits of information that I could write in for my child within each lesson: his favorite book, his favorite vacation place, his favorite sport etc. We really loved this book.

Love it!
We've just started My Story K this school year with our Kindergartner but so far we are loving it! As with all Master Books curriculum, it is a gentle easy approach that is extremely user friendly. My 5 year old is SO excited to sit down and work each day. I think all the flashcards are super fun and will help me as we work through the book, but they are a bit advanced for my 5 year old ;)
