Earthschooling Index

Note: To locate the file you are looking for find the grade it is listed under below. Click on the bold words that say that grade. You will be taken to that page to download your item. I cannot directly link files to this page because it is only the curriculum pages that are password protected in some cases and not the files themselves.

Also note that each Earthschooling lesson below represents instruction on how to teach the unit and unique ways to present it or make it easier. For example, all the pentatonic sheet music has been carefully arranged with illustrations of the recorder cards to make it possible for anyone to play - even if they have never seen a recorder before and don't read music and the lesson on "How to Make a Time-line" talks about four different methods and which one is the best for your child depending on their temperament. Other units, like the G5 Persian and Egypt unit include unique photos and lessons from Kristie Burns based on her travels to Iran, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, and Jerusalem. Videos of her local "cultural ambassador" classes are included.
