I've always wondered how to teach about the USA in a meaningful way to my first graders. Now I've got this outstanding guide. Activities are "cute" without being shallow. It's got history, geography, American symbols, principles and values. What a great resource!
We have been using this for our homeschool social studies curriculum. The book is cute and my daughter has been enjoying the activities included. It is a bit meager on its own, so I have supplemented each section with story books or historical reference books from the library. This book has been a great overview for my kindergartener and has been helpful as a starting off point.
I love this book! It gets at the heart of American values without being preachy. The ideas are very accessable to young kids. Our family is having a ball with this.
This book is really great. It has the best little activities that are really fun and informative! We use it for homeschool and I love it. It would work just as well for puplic school. I really do recomend this book
We bought this book for our preschool. The activities are age appropriate and the children enjoy the projects. We love how it incorporates science also!
Bought as a gift for a beginning teacher. Lots of interesting activities that could be used for early elementary. Could adapt ideas for upper elementary. Make social studies interesting.
The kids don't mind doing this but it is very gimicky with no real substance or "meat" to it... I would rather read "james Baldwin" stories or "the american story"....
Mayhem completed two of the crafts in this book within days of receiving it, and was inspired to make another entirely on his own. The book consists of educational blurbs, thorough craft instructions, and helpful illustrations, all presented in an appealing format. Because art and manual activities tied into schooling help kids retain more of what they learn, I know we will use this as a reference and learning aid in our homeschooling for many years to come. This is a good book to keep on the shelf for rainy days or school projects. I've yet to be disappointed by a Little Hands book, and I am collecting the series. I recommend them all.
