The Age 8–10 Full Year Social Studies Package is a homeschool curriculum that blends social studies, geography, and history. Our approach uses rich literature—including biographies, folktales, and geography stories—to spark curiosity and deepen understanding. Students explore big ideas in history while learning about the geography, culture, and historical narratives of Africa, Europe, Asia, and the United States.

Books included:

• 5 books on early American history and government
• 9 books exploring world geography, culture, and traditional stories

To bring these topics to life, your child will enjoy hands-on projects and activities, such as:

• Square dance with friends to folk music while exploring American traditions.
• Host a pioneer dinner by cooking simple frontier recipes and using candlelight to experience the challenges and joys of early settlers.
• Craft a quilt with Asian country squares to explore rich cultural heritage. Include symbols such as Japan’s cherry blossoms or India’s elephants to represent each culture.
• Make a nutcracker inspired by German holiday traditions and folklore.
• Build a compass using a needle and cork to discover explorers' tools.
• Play a world explorers card game to reinforce historical knowledge in a fun way.
• These activities not only deepen your child's understanding of social studies but also make learning an enjoyable and immersive experience.

Our curriculum ties in seamlessly with our Language Arts Curriculum Package, allowing students to make meaningful connections across subjects and deepen comprehension through integrated learning.
This level is ideal for most fourth-grade homeschoolers.
