Most of these lessons were gathered and used successfully in a group setting (home school co-op) with kids ages 8 - 13. Additional older middle school and high school resources were used with students as part of their independent study program.  Every attempt has been made to create a learning environment that is COMMON CORE FREE!*  These are great treasures, designed by talented teachers that might otherwise be lost in a maze of federal mandates and testing requirements.

Primary sources, history trivia, multi media and hands on crafts and activities take these core curriculum unit studies from a dry text book to a living part of their lives.
