The My Story series is an adventure-based social studies course for lower elementary students that encourages families to explore the world together through four nine-week quests that regularly reference family, community, and the church. Activities include coloring, drawing, narration, copywork, introductory study of French and Spanish, word and picture focus, journaling, vocabulary, review, and more. Students will also get involved in helping others. Adapt activities to meet your individual and family needs.
Book K, My Family My Life, starts with a look at family and culture, and then branches into citizenship, geography, and basic finances, all geared to your littlest learners. As they learn, they create a “My Book” about themselves, by filling in the blanks on pages in the back of the book.
Book 1, My Story and the World Around Me, begins with understanding the place of family life and then slowly expands to include information about regions both near and far. Being introduced to U.S. local, regional, and national landmarks, they will eventually learn about several cultural, geographical and political features in other countries.
In Book 2, My Country My World, students expand their journey around the world and learn the foundations of state and federal governments, basic economic and geographical principles, and world social and cultural norms.
Each of these consumable worktexts contains a steady stream of full-color photos and images, hands-on projects, text, worksheets and quizzes (only grades 1 & 2).
