treestarfae Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Anyone have any current curriculum about presidential elections? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I just got the Scholastic flyer for their Election skills books, which will come out when the primaries are over. They have K-1, 2-3, 4-6, and 7-10 versions. If you can order 10 at a time, they're only about $3 plus shipping, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to do a group order for our homeschool group. I also subscribed to Time for Kids for my DD this year because they do a pretty good job of covering the lead up to the elections, but it's very expensive for a homeschooler to get one copy of the student magazine and the teacher access to the website-I think I'm paying about $30 for something that would cost a school $5/student.

acurtis75 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 If you're looking for a fun supplement dd loved this: We bought a dvd with a collection of the schoolhouse rock songs from when we were growing up and this was included. We've had a ball listening to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3andme Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Notgrass used to have a short study on elections called Elections in America unfortunately it seems to have been discontinued. However, you can find a copy on ebay and perhaps homeschoolclassifieds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
