The day-to-day news coming out of Washington, D.C., can be discouraging sometimes. But learning about how government works and how dedicated public servants have contributed to our country can give us a feeling of optimism for the future. Homeschooling gives parents the opportunity to help their children understand government.
Whether you are excited about or dreading the 2024 election season, there is no better time to teach about civics and government than an election year. Notgrass History helps you teach about civics and government in a fun and exciting way with confidence.
Notgrass History offers Exploring Government for high school and Uncle Sam and You for grades 5 through 8. In Exploring Government, your student will explore the government of the United States from its beginning to the present with special emphasis on the Biblical basis for government and the U.S. Constitution.
Uncle Sam and You is designed specifically to cover the election process in detail. Families who begin the course in August or September can easily complete the units on our founding documents, the three levels and three branches of government, our patriotic symbols and American ideals, and the five units on the election process by Election Day in November. Then they spend the rest of the year learning about what elected officials, government workers, and private citizens do in their communities, states, and country.
Both curricula give your child a solid foundation for understanding what’s going on. They also help your child think about how he or she can make a positive contribution as a citizen now and in the future.
