What month do you start to incorporate this curriculum? Do you try to coincide Native Americans with Thanksgiving?
Also, u purchased/ downloaded this curriculum in 2011. I see the jeopardy game, flags, salt map template, and travel log, but not a student manual. Is this part the same as the student manual?
Thanks for all of your hard work!
We just started with lesson 1 in August when we start school. I don’t try to match up things seasonally, but you could try I suppose. There have been SEVERAL updates since 2011! If you have that old of a version you’ll probably want to get the updated curriculum 🙂
Is this meant to be used on a daily basis in order to complete it in a school year, or can it be used once or twice a week and still be completed in a year’s time?
Hi Taylre,
Yes it’s a 5-day a week curriculum that covers the entire US in 1 school year. That said, you can also modify it to span over two years, or even skip some things and fit it in 1 year but maybe only doing it 4 days per week. It’s fairly flexible.
Hi
How many pages is the teacher’s edition and how many pages in the student portion?
Thanks!
TM is 277
The Student Workbook is 147 pgs
The animal supplement is 23
Hi there! Interested in purchasing, but wondering about close to 400 pages for each student… do you have a place you recommend for printing / binding at a good price? Would I need to print off all 363 pages for my son (1st gr) and daughter (3rd)? Just want to understand! Thanks!
Hi Victoria! Yes, I like to refer people to http://www.thehomeschoolprintingcompany.com let them know I sent you, they have printed for me before and have really good pricing.
Thanks! Would you suggest black and white?
Also would the student books blinded make sense?
You can bind them, or put them in a 3-ring binder. Whichever you prefer. I like the binder because we included divider tabs with pockets, so they could add in any little extras into their binder easily.
You can print B/W for most of this. The state books are red/white/blue so you may want to print those pages in color. And there are a couple of activity pages that are color as well. The rest of the worksheets are already b/w and the students color them in.
Is there an updated version that includes our current president (#45) ?
The curriculum is up to date, the sample is just outdated sorry!
Hello,
I purchased this pack sometime ago (about 2 yrs) and we completed only the Southwest region. I still have it downloaded but now that I’m coming back to it for my younger children (now old enough), I cannot find the State Overview page (bird, flower, flag, animal) and postcard page. Is there a different teacher’s version than student workbook? Thanks for any help – love your products!
Hi Susie,
Yes, there is a teacher’s manual and a student workbook as well as the animals unit that all come with this curriculum. Make sure you downloaded all three files 🙂 If you need more assistance please email me and I can help!
I have a question. How many pages are in all? I really need to know because of the printing process. Thank you..
I recommend http://www.thehomeschoolprintingcompany.com they have really great prices. Page count as follows, tho it is updated regularly!
TM is 277 pgs
The Student Workbook is 147 pgs
The animal supplement is 23 pgs
Has this been updated to include President Trump?
oh, I just saw that you answered this question already! Thank You!
It looks amazing!!!! I did a U.S. state study with both of my kids in the early grades. We had the most fun of all the years (just graduated the 1st child) and learned so much!!!! I actually designed my own for each child with a variety of resources from the library and online. We did a postcard exchange along with our study. We also cooked recipes for every state (there is a US state cookbook). I ordered travel guides from every state and we made collages from the pictures of the things we would do if we visited. As you can tell, I enjoyed it too.
Hi Erica,
I was just printing off my copy to use (bought 2016). Is there an updated Presidents sheet to include the 45th president? Thank you!
Yes, the updated version has the current president info. Send me an email and we can reset your download links.
