This class provides a ‘first look’ into the history of the United States. Utilizing a “hands-on” history curriculum and interactive notebook, students will be introduced to American history from creation. God’s grace toward the United States is obvious and unfolds in an exciting way as students discover the events, inventions, and people from Columbus through the early 1900’s. 

Like my other classes, I utilize an Interactive Notebook to make the lessons memorable and appeal to various learning styles. Homework includes preparing notebook entries, reading lessons, and answering follow-up questions.

She has authored various works including a Biblically-based Etiquette curriculum, Bible studies, songs, press releases, and magazine articles.
