267 Time Travel through History - Bringing the Past to Life for Young Learners

AMDG. How do you teach history to elementary school students? Kolbe’s new elementary history program has everything you need and more!  

The developers and editors of the elementary history course, Stephanie Foley and Heather Griffin, want the stories of history to come alive in your living room, creating a spark of lasting wonder in every young reader. 

An integrative and interactive course, Kolbe’s elementary history helps students contextualize major historical events using familiar Bible stories and encourages students to draw connections between historical characters and their own lives.  

The history texts cater to a variety of topics and interests, including art, architecture, culture, and geography, with immersive activities to engage young students. 

Check out the reading materials for elementary grades in the Kolbe Academy bookstore.
