We offer curriculum by grade, or by content for multi-grade teaching. If you are home educating, it’s best to teach social studies to a few grades at the same time. Engaging children in learning is as important as teaching content.
Print the suggested Canadian Social Studies Scope and Sequence and watch the video. Then you will be more informed and able to decide what your children need to learn based on their age and previous studies. If you still need a little help, we are glad to advise you. Contact us for more information.
The core curriculum for teaching Canadian History is Courage & Conquest: Discovering Canadian History. As a stand alone, this curriculum will guide both the teacher and the student, however, it is very beneficial to add resources for a rich, storied history.
The various resource bundles viewed by scrolling down on the Shop page linked above, give you various options of our favourite picks to go with the course. All resources can be purchased in a bundle or individually according to your child’s interest, your budget, and availability of your local library resources. Ownership has definite advantages.
The Grade 4 Mitchel Made bundle is specifically for B.C. residents who need guidance to be sure all the curricular competencies are met with ease. Along with Courage & Conquest, there is added content to fulfill the B.C. requirements. The bundle includes books specifically needed for the Mitchel Made course at a reasonable cost, but users will definitely want many of the books recommended in Courage & Conquest, even deciding that the Courage & Conquest online courses would be a great addition. There are so many great choices, take your time perusing the other bundles to see our recommendations.
The online courses that go with this book are light, but give a video introduction to the lesson with added content, audio reading of the lesson content, Christian devotional content, curated resources in greater depth than the Lite Membership, help with assignments, some content for upper levels/high school. These courses ease the work load for busy homeschoolers.
There are a lot of choices but each homeschool environment has different needs, budgets, and teacher confidence. If you still have questions we can help at info@donnaward.net
