Citizenship Together: Simplified Civics for Your Homeschool
Welcome back to the Homeschool Better Together Podcast. Grab your headphones and join us for another inspiring episode. This week, host Pam Barnhill and operations manager and curriculum editor, Meg Angelino chat about their exciting and newly developed curriculum, Citizenship Together. Meg, brings her rich background in history, political science, and education to the table, making this resource an absolute gem for teaching citizenship at home.
Tune in as they dive into the essentials of understanding roles and responsibilities as citizens, a skill that's never been more critical in today's fast-paced world. They discuss the vital need for young people to discern accurate information from the media and understand the ins and outs of government. Designed for students from 3rd to 9th grade, Citizenship Together includes engaging discussions, primary source explorations, and fun activities that make learning about government and elections a family affair.
You'll discover how this curriculum makes it easy to teach multiple kids at once, and how its digestible, less-than-10-pages-a-day format fits seamlessly into your busy life. Pam and Meg shine light on why the term "citizenship" feels more personal and relatable for young learners, especially when it comes to discussing sometimes challenging political topics.
So, grab your notepad, a cup of coffee or tea, and let’s step out of the overwhelm and into the wonder of homeschooling better together.
