5.0 out of 5 stars
Highly useful lessons in social history for teachers., September 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Bringing History Home: Local and Family History Projects for Grades K-6 (Paperback)
Good scholarship in social history is applied to developmentally appropriate elementary curriculum topics. Author shows how children even in kindergarten and the first grade can begin to learn about history and to enjoy the process of learning history. There is a well balanced presentation for all grades K-6. Clear directions and examples of the work of classroom teachers provide readers with help and prompt new ideas. This book would be helpful to parents, librarians, and museum workers as they seek tohelp children learn meaningful and interesting things about families, local communities, and the wide range of ethnic groups in America today. I place this book on the must have and use list for all elementary teachers interested in engaging children in active learning experiences.
