A Child’s History of America is a year-long survey course that offers a journey through the history of the Americas in chronological order. We will be using America: Our Stories Volumes 1 and 2 (published by Simply Charlotte Mason) as the spine text for our course and then using additional picture books to fill in the gaps.
A typical class will begin with prayer and a history or geography game. A chapter (or picture book) will be read aloud by the teacher as students follow along in their book at home. Students will then narrate the chapters and share their narrations with the class. The teacher will model various verbal and written forms of narration throughout the year. Class time will end with viewing an artifact or art piece and closing prayer. Homework will consist of students uploading their narrations to Canvas. The last week of each quarter will be spent reviewing topics through our book party (students recommending books based on that time period) and project presentations (students presenting projects based on topics from the quarter).
Required Materials: Books and supplies are not included in the purchase of the course. These resources are listed to help inform your decision-making as you make course selections and build your course schedule. Please reach out to the instructor if you have any questions about materials.
Tisha Frost has been teaching in a variety of settings over the last 20 years after following one of the best pieces of advice she was ever given, “Be who God created you to be and you will set the world on fire” - St. Catherine of Siena. This inspired her to study both history and theology during her undergraduate years. She obtained a B.A. in American Studies, with a minor in Theology from the University of Notre Dame. She also holds a Master of Education from the University of Notre Dame, specializing in Middle School and High School Social Studies. Through her experiences of teaching many students, including her own children, she has seen the need for restful education that is focused on the true, good, and beautiful.
Tisha resides in Northern Minnesota with her husband and seven children. When she has a moment to herself, she enjoys children’s literature, British mysteries, good movies, and baking.
