This workbook contains 20 patriotic, folk, fun, and end-of-the-trail songs and guitar chords to help build patriotism, a sense of belonging, and to teach important vocabulary. You can also find the songs on YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, etc., and the goal is for children of all ages to sing these songs throughout the year and color the pages as you work through the American Civics workbooks. You’ll be amazed at how quickly they’ll be tapping their toes and singing along to catchy tunes like You’re a Grand Old Flag, Oh, Susanna, Down By the Station, and even Taps. 48 pgs.sc. ~Nancie

Publisher's Description of American Civics K-5 Workbook: Book 7
Classical Historian's American Civics K-5 curriculum teaches children what every citizen needs to know AND it does so in a fun and engaging way. This seven-book curriculum answers:
What does it mean to be an American?
What is America’s heritage?
What is the importance of the Declaration of Independence?
How does the US government work according to the Constitution?
How should a citizen behave in a free republic?
Who are America's heroes?
How did Americans end slavery?
How do I sing America's patriotic and folk songs?
Classical Historian’s American Civics fills the great void in American education. It is an engaging and age-appropriate civics curriculum for elementary students. It teaches America’s ancient and medieval heritage, the great story of its founding, the Constitution, and how the American government works, including the rights and duties of citizens. It teaches the great struggle to end slavery and of the Civil Rights Movement. But more than this, American Civics instructs children in the virtues citizens need to self-govern in a republic.
Classical Historian’s American Civics curriculum is a series of seven books that teach your children and students the truth of America’s past, the meaning of our founding documents, how our Constitution works, and the virtues citizens need to live in a free society. American Civics is educational, fun, and kids like it.
This is book seven of seven.
Category Description for Classical Historian: American Civics Course
The Classical Historian: American Civics series of 7 “open-and-go” workbooks
covers a broad range of topics, providing young children with a solid foundation of
American citizenship. Author John De Gree seeks to instill an understanding and
appreciation of civics in students, as well as a patriotic love for our country.
Books are as user-friendly as you can get! Each workbook includes lessons with detailed “Ideas for Instruction” and easy
steps for use with lower, middle, and upper elementary students (whether at
home or in a class/co-op setting). Workbooks progress in difficulty a bit as
you move up through them.
Engaging lessons teach America’s heritage, the story of its founding, the Constitution, the basics of how American government functions, and more! Lessons typically feature a two-page spread, with a page of text to be read aloud followed by comprehension questions (children unable to write answer orally), detailed coloring pages with a lesson summary at the bottom, key words for learning to paraphrase, timeline cards (Book 6), and an oral presentation for 3rd-5th graders. Multiple-choice quizzes spread throughout the book help to gauge a student’s understanding, while the answer key for questions and quizzes is found at the back. Animated videos, which will provide reinforcement of lessons, are still in production at www.classicalhistorian.com.
Two scope and sequence options
are provided in each workbook: one for teaching grade-level students in a class
setting sing one lesson per week and two books per year, and one for using all
7 books in a 9-month school year, doing 2-3 lessons per week. Since the books
are consumable, you will want one for each student in your family. There are so many ways you
could use these workbooks, so find what works best for you. The content is
fantastic, no matter how you do it!
Note: Book 7, filled with patriotic songs, is recommended for use alongside each of the workbooks for every age level, so that students are singing them throughout the year.
