Multicultural Thanksgiving


A new Thanksgiving guide is here! I wanted to create a blog post to share with you some screenshots of the guide and tell you a little more about what you can expect inside the PDF document.

I love multicultural learning in our homeschool. Christmas has always been the perfect canvas for focusing on cultures around the world as we study how different countries celebrate. Check out my free Christmas Around the World book study after checking out the new Thanksgiving guide!

The Multicultural Thanksgiving guide is geared toward K-5 students through the picture books Molly’s Pilgrim, Duck for Turkey Day, and Mary’s First Thanksgiving.

These 3 picture books are beautiful representations of Americans of different cultures, all learning about the gift and blessing of freedom, family, and friends. In addition to reading the picture books, students have additional learning resources of poetry, copywork, music, and video links.

 

 

My prayer for you is that you will create lasting memories this holiday season with your children! Please tag me at @kindandcultivated on Instagram if you read these books with your children this month! And take 10% off anything in my shop with the code THANKS!

Have a student older than K-5? Last year I created a Thanksgiving Literary Feast that includes read aloud short stories for older students as well as some documentaries that middle and high school will love! Check out the free version here: https://kindandcultivated.gumroad.com/l/freethanksgiving

(Here is the free Christmas Around the World post too!)

Folk Dance

Image
Community dancing is such a wonderful activity for all ages!  I have seen the question pop up in many homeschool groups about suggestions for resources to teach folk dances so I want to share some of my favorites from teaching music and dance to elementary students in public school and our homeschool groups!  If you have the opportunity to find a group already in place to attend and learn dances and observe how they teach you will have a better understanding of how to approach this in a group setting!  You may feel like at the beginning like you are herding a bunch of cats but that's ok!!!  Practice and consistency will improve the process! Cited Material First, I want to just say how blessed I am that I have been fortunate to have training under the most talented folk dance and movement specialists.  I feel like my education and experience has been in the "golden" age through first hand workshops by the following professionals.   New ...

Singing - A Sample 30 Minute Lesson

Image
In my previous posts I've shared a lot of links about the music instruction of singing in Charlotte Mason schools.  You can read Part 1 here, Part 2 here , and today, I'll share a sample lesson of what a MODERN Tonic Sol-fa would look like!  We still use the same types of principles of breaking up a lesson in rhythm training, sight singing, vocal exercises, etc.  Those same principles can be applied using available resources!  And don't forget, the modulator, sight-singing, time, and ear-training concepts can all be covered with the units from Solfa Sofa!!!  Let the work I already did help you out in your lesson planning! Here's what the timetable has to say: Voice Training - 3 minutes This is training the voice with vocal exercises that increase the vocal range of students, develop good diction and vowel placement and singing timbre of the students! My favorite clinicians for children's choir exercises are Henry Leck and Jay Althouse This is al...
