Product Description
 
Continuing your journey through American History begun in Level 5, this year you will complete your study of American History from the Civil War through the modern day. You will use a variety of diverse non-fiction, like An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States for Young People, Heart and Soul: The Story of America and African Americans, and A Different Mirror For Young People: A History of Multicultural America. Witness the tumultuous Civil War, discover what it is like to immigrate to America, learn about the World Wars of the 20th century, and join the protests during women’s suffrage and the Civil Rights movement.  You will continue your study of the 50 states, in order of their statehood. In the final six weeks, your child will use the provided Research Report Guide to write a research report.
 
You will enjoy an array of captivating literature selections together, and learn the story of America through the eyes and voices of children of diverse backgrounds.  Learn to appreciate what it means to really study history in The Not So Boring Letters of Private Nobody,  learn about life in a small town in the Dakotas in Prairie Lotus, and explore the history of Harlem in The Harlem Charade.
Along with your study of history, we’ll delve into the arts, studying American artists and poets.  You will complete a variety of art projects using the book Great American Artists for Kids and study poetry written by great American poets like Edgar Allan Poe and Maya Angelou.
 
The science focus this year is earth and space, using Real Science Odyssey Astronomy 2 and Blair Lee’s Climate Change unit — both paired with great living books like George and the Big Bang and World Without Fish.
