Description
We may desire to teach our children the history, landscape and culture of our state, but struggle to find the time to add in one more subject. Thankfully, Christian Light Education provides us the tools to teach our children the essentials in 17 easy to use lessons. The consumable student booklet, called a Light Unit, contains outline maps, fill-in-the-blank questions, directed blank pages for your state-specific research, pages to glue pictures, and an end of the unit test. The Teacher's Guide provides lesson objectives and teaching guidelines, and resources for all 50 states, including outline maps (reproducible), physical and web addresses for state sights of interest and chamber of commerce, and state song lyrics. I love the flexibility of this course! Families can keep it simple and study their state only or use this before a trip to study the state you are visiting or spend a year and study all 50 states. The choice is yours! Due to this series' open-ended nature, no answers are provided. Additional resources will be required to complete the activities: the Internet is always an option or check out one of these excellent resources: The Desk Atlas of the United States (# 013863) or the United States of America Step by Step Guide (#025594).
