History K - Better - You Teach

This is what we deem the "Better" option for History in Kindergarten. This option utilizes the "You Teach" method, which is a term we have coined for traditional, parent-taught homeschooling.

The Veritas Approach has kindergarteners start with the familiar and local to prepare them for years of studying history.

In this course students will meet a character named Bede (pronounced "bead") who is a timeline ... that strongly resembles a ball of yarn. This loveable character introduces young children to the basics of history in a fun way–once a week–all year long.

Topics include: how a timeline works, family history, the history of holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, etc.), the history of toys, the history of sports, and more. Even a little Church history is included! History is, in a sense, a compilation of all of the victories and failures of humankind as God leads us. It is important that students not only understand the events of the past, but the significance of how those events affect their own lives. This appreciation of history will help them shape their future. Bede’s History of Me lays the groundwork for later years of study.
