This kit is packed full of supplies and fun, hands-on learning experiences to engage kids as they go back to the 1700s and learn why American colonists were upset with Britain, what they did to eventually end British rule over the American colonies, how the colonies became an independent country, why Americans celebrate “America’s birthday” on the Fourth of July, and how the Revolutionary war changed America.
We’ve divided the learning experiences into eight sections, and we recommend doing the activities in the order suggested as some build upon the next. However, you don’t need to complete all the lesson activities at once if that’s too much for your schedule. Just pause, and pick up where you left off next time. Doing these activities two days a week will take four weeks to complete the unit. The activities in this kit were designed for K to 4th graders. But we know kids are at all different levels and interests, so feel free to skip or add-to an activity if it isn’t right for your child(ren). That’s what Schoolhouse Discoveries are all about - having fun learning and finding ways that best fit your needs.
