HOLIDAY RESOURCES

 

The Holiday Zone- "The Holiday Zone offers free educational resources for use in early childhood and elementary educational settings. Holiday and seasonal materials include learning games, whole language activities, writing prompts, songs, action rhymes, printable worksheets, printable and interactive puzzles, coloring pages, and children's literature recommendations. This site is child-friendly and does contain some content geared specifically toward children, but is targeted primarily toward educators, child care providers, and parents. The intended audience includes preschool teachers, kindergarten teachers, elementary classroom teachers, homeschoolers, parents, grandparents, and others who work with children.
The Holiday Zone also offers resources created especially for use in the ESL/EFL classroom. ESL teachers and EFL teachers alike will find information and reproducible materials to help their ELL students gain a better understanding of traditional western holidays. ESL/EFL resources include reading comprehension activities, holiday vocabulary guides, printable illustrated word wall cards, puzzles, worksheets, and discussion topics geared specifically toward English language learners (ELLs). Interactive reading comprehension tasks, interactive quizzes, and interactive puzzles are also being added for the benefit of English language learners who visit this site. "

 

AMERICAN HISTORY


LIST OF U.S. PRESIDENTS-We have learned this in 1st, 2nd, and 4th grade depending on the course work for our kids that year. We had a cassette that had the list put to song. That helps a lot!


Printable Declaration of Independence- We memorize the full text in 7th grade and the first major paragraph in 3rd.


Kids.gov is the "portal the the US Government"

 

SCIENCE


2010 Night Sky Watch- Whether you are studying Earth and Sky this year or not, this is a great resource.  Check out this site to see when big things are happening in the night sky and then grab a blanket, your kids and maybe even a telescope if necessary and enjoy God's awesome handy work!
