4 From the Wild West to World War II...from the Wright Brothers to the Vietnam War...from the Arctic explorers to the heartbreak of September 11...your children will be introduced to the dramatic people and events of our recent history. Yet, children of this age seek the meaning of American history too. Usually, they are just presented with a few famous people and events, but TruthQuest History includes commentary which subtly presents the thread of God's hand in American history in a much deeper and broader exploration of our past. Our Timeline and Report Package is meant to be used with the book American History for Young Students lll ( ) by TruthQuest History. The package provides everything you need to help your child learn when events happened at this time on history. In addition to creating a timeline, you can spread out the cards across the living room floor and challenge your student to put them in chronological order. The cards can also be used as flashcards for families on the go and even as a matching game. This package also includes a reproducible timeline with mini timeline cards, lots of historical figures to color, many helpful report forms (such as a soldier report form and a Native American report form) and lesson planning forms for mom! (Recommended for grades 1 and up)
