Description
Each Teacher Guide provides the tools that parents need to successfully teach children from first through sixth grade. The material includes a philosophy statement and overview, required and suggested book lists, schedule options, hands-on materials supply list, activity templates, review pages and answers, plus all your teaching information. This is a neutral approach to science (no discussion of origins), however, many of the recommended or optional books may include evolutionary content. Parents may wish to preview the lessons ahead of time. While the author provides scheduling options for the lessons (once a week for 1.5 hours or divided into two-three- or four days), it is flexible enough to work with your busy schedule!
