    About Me: Homeschooling

    Mother of seven and wife to a Baptist preacher, I rarely fit into expected stereotypes and homeschooling is no different. An unschooler at heart who is also a self-professed curriculum junkie, I balance this paradox with a relaxed homeschooling style utilizing literature, unit studies, lapbooking, and plenty of free time to pursue independent interests. Entering my fifteenth year of homeschooling, I have graduated my two oldest and am currently homeschooling grades 3-10. I believe true education involves teaching your child how to learn and equipping them to follow their dreams.

    America's Heritage: An Adventure in Liberty Free Resource

    Posted by Lori Monday, November 9, 2009


    "AHEF 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.

    AHEF accomplishes this patriotic mission by writing, producing, and distributing FREE K-12 lesson plans to teachers, students, and families in all 50 states and through additional initiatives, programs, and partnerships." ~ AHEF Mission Statement


    The American Heritage Education Foundation provides FREE Elementary, Middle School, and High School lesson plans. You may download these yourself or order them on a CD.

    There are four themes running throughout the lessons; Freedom, Unity, Progress, and Responsibility. These are set up in typical traditional school lesson plan fashion and include objectives and assessments. Activities are included, such as crossword puzzles, games, charts, etc. , making this a great supplement to your American History program.

    This was one resource I had never come across and am glad to have learned of it through the TOS Crew. Maybe it will be something new to you as well!
