Did you ever wonder how the Native Americans lived or about Ben Franklin’s inventions?  Did you know that the first flag of the United States of America was made in Pennsylvania or that Daniel Boone was born in Pennsylvania?  We will be investigating those questions and more as we travel back in time to explore Pennsylvania History.  We will reenact a battle that happened during the French and Indian War, have our own Freedom Run, have chocolate that is made right here in Pennsylvania and more.   There will be weekly at-home enrichments and weekly activities to help us remember what we have learned.  Get ready to take a trip and see and taste the history of Pennsylvania!!

Question 3

5th & 6th Grade: Ancient Civilizations and the Bible -

Accepted Answer

Teacher:  Lacey Zimmerman
 
History and the Bible come alive in our 5th and 6th grade class as we study through Mystery of History, Volume 1. Our study of history will start at the dawn of Creation and conclude at the life of Jesus Christ. We will wonder at God’s design in Creation and the Fall, study the catastrophe of the Flood, discover the variety of people groups, and observe the unfolding of God’s plan for His chosen people. We will explore the interconnected story of the Bible and history as we look at kingdoms of the ancient Egyptians, Assyrians and Babylonians, Israelites, Medes and Persians, Greeks and Romans. The Egyptian Festival, Greek Festival, and Roman Market Day are highlights in our year of learning. Our class enjoys learning through creating, designing, discussing, debating, roleplaying, reenacting, illustrating, researching, reporting, and much more. Our days center on history and branch out to include art, science, Bible, literature, geography, drama, music, architecture, and creative writing designed to engage students of all learning styles. At-home work is provided in the 5th/6th class. The assignments are leveled and scalable, with the intention of providing you the ideal amount of support you desire for your educational objectives. Some at-home reading (or listening to the audio version) from our class text is built into the expectations for the class. The elementary KDO teachers do not assign grades for the work completed and the parent maintains the level of involvement in the learning process they see fit. KDO is designed to be a service to your homeschooling journey. Parents may choose one of two “levels” that best suit their student and is scaleable at the parent’s discretion. The Foundation option for your student accomplishing 30 min. /wk of preparation for class to provide a basis for steady in-class dialog and momentum. The Grow option for your student accomplishing 2-3 hrs. /wk of preparation for class to provide a fuller history experience, meeting many history objectives. The student should need only limited parental involvement in their weekly assignments.
