Review~American Heritage Education Foundation

The American Heritage Education Foundation is a non-profit, non partisan educational foundation dedicated to the understanding and teaching of America's factual and philosophical heritage to promote constructive citizenship and Freedom, Unity, Progress and Responsibility among our students and citizens.

This is a supplemental history CD that is offered as a free resource by The American Heritage Education Foundation.

There are three levels of lessons included on this CD.

• Elementary School Level
• Middle School Level
• High School Level

Here are the topics covered in the elementary level:

• Colonial America
• The Declaration of Independence
• A Famous Signature
• George Washington
• U. S. Presidents
• The Great Seal
• Thanksgiving
• The United States Flag
• The Star Spangled Banner
• The National Motto
• The Statue of Liberty
• The Pledge of Allegiance
• America the Beautiful
• What is an American

There are lessons for each topic as well as games, songs, puzzles and more.
For each lesson there is a purpose, objective, theme, core knowledge, how much time the lesson requires, materials needed for the lesson and how you need to prepare for the lesson.

We are working on The Pledge of Allegiance there is an activity sheet that gives you ideas of what to teach. For example how you should stand and face the flag and put your right hand over your heart when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Read the history of the Pledge of Allegiance. There are vocabulary words, a print out of The Pledge of Allegiance, synonyms to learn and a printable word puzzle. You can practice reciting The Pledge of Allegiance and then print and cut out the word puzzle. Have your child put the words in their proper order and then remove some of the words and have them figure out which ones are missing and see if they can recite it with the missing words. Continue on until you are only using a few words and your child is reciting confidently.

We will be using some of these lessons to supplement our US History.

This is definitely written for a classroom setting but can be adapted for one or more children easily.
