Description
My State History Funbook is designed for the youngest age range (age 4 to Grade 2). The actual funbook itself is generic - a spiral-bound blank set of templates all ready to receive your state-specific information. The accompanying activity pages provide some of that information as well as page by page instructions that correlate with the daily lessons from the Master Lesson Plan Book (you can use this course alongside the upper-level books or as a stand-alone course). Parents/teachers are encouraged to "round-up" much of the rest from tourist literature, the internet, and even by taking pictures of their children at various field trip locations. These are a variety of materials - full-color pictures to cut out and paste, map puzzles, specific tidbits of interesting information, and other material to cut and paste. The pages are a variety of colors to add interest to the finished Funbook project. The idea is to make it both a personalized and a comprehensive compilation of facts, history, geography, and trivia.
Publisher's Description of Pennsylvania: My State History Funbook Set
My State History Funbook is a color-cut-and-paste activity book which provides an introduction to your state through fun activities on an elementary or pre-school grade level. Your student will construct his own colorful scrap-book about his state, using pictures and cutouts that we provide along with pictures from free tourist literature. My State History Funbook is sold as a packet which includes the spiral-bound, pre-formatted activity book along with the Activity Pages for your state (color state symbol pictures, colored sheets with informational cutouts about your state, a simple lesson schedule and instructions for the teacher, and a list of sources for free tourist literature). The Funbook is correlated with our upper level course (State History from a Christian Perspective), so if you are teaching state history to your older students, your young ones can join right in the fun! The Funbook covers state symbols, history, important people, geography, weather, citizenship, state government, industry, agriculture, plants and animals, scenery, and recreational spots. You will need one copy per student. Teacher lesson schedule and instructions are included in the Activity Pages. Classroom teachers will need their own reference copy of the Funbook.
Category Description for State History from a Christian Perspective
Learn state history as a family! The premise is simple – each student prepares a project notebook in keeping with their grade level and abilities. Ages 4 through Grade 2 use My State History Funbook, with grades 3-12 using the Student Booklet. There’s even an option for Abeka’s My State Notebook. While it may seem overwhelming, the built-in flexibility allows parents to add in field trips, local museums, and Internet research while teaching different levels or different states simultaneously. You decide what works best for your family!
There are two required components. For the teacher, the spiral-bound Master Lesson Plan Book provides the study overview, getting started information, instructions for different study options and grades, and detailed lesson plans covering interesting facts; geography; flower/bird/motto; early history; people, landmarks, major cities, government; capital city; industry; plants, animals and more. The thirty lessons may be taught in six weeks or in one semester for more depth. It includes lessons for both student books: the My State History Funbook or Student Booklet. Students need their own copy of either the My State History Funbook (4 years- 2nd grade), or the Student Booklet (grade 3+). My State History Funbook is a color-cut-and-paste activity book allowing children to create a state scrapbook using included pictures, along with pictures you source from tourist literature, the internet and field trips. Simple teaching information is included, although most teaching is in the Master Lesson Plan Book. It can be used alone or alongside a sibling using the Student Booklet. The Student Booklet supplies all the textual information for covered topics, and full-color pictures to be used in the project notebook. Also included are non-reproducible quizzes and exams, answer keys, and an optional state constitution study guide.
Sets include the Master Lesson Plan Book and either the My State History Funbook or Student Booklet. Student booklets available separately.
