Publisher's Description of Heroes and Happenings Volume 1
Introduce your kindergarten student to American History with this age-appropriate, richly illustrated spine. Sixty chapters, across two volumes, introduce children to a wide range of people and events. Some of them are well known, like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Some are far more obscure like Dave the Potter, an enslaved African American who inscribed rhymes on his pots at a time when the enslaved were forbidden from learning to read.
You'll cover several early presidents, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and the American flag. You'll learn about events in almost every one of the 50 states. You'll learn about people from a range of religions and ethnicity, with diverse skin colors and contributions. For animal lovers, we have a chapter focused on the Pony Express.
Learn about people and events throughout American history with this age-appropriate kindergarten history series. Each of the two volumes have 30 short biographies that have bunny trails that intentionally lead in different directions for more connections and understanding. The graphics are vibrant and eye catching for reading circle or reading next to a child. When learners finish these two volumes, they will know major people and events in American history, plus numerous other interesting topics. It is often used with the Sonlight program, and features a Charlotte Mason approach. ~Amber
