An 18-week, literature-based curriculum for elementary school students (Grades 1-4) designed to immerse families in the history and cultures of ancient Latin America. Each week focuses on one picture book or story and includes discussion questions to deepen your understanding of the text and complementary hands-on activities in history/geography, art, and poetry/music. All together, the weekly activities take 1.5-2 hours total, and they can be scheduled for as many (or as few) days per week as your family needs. The curriculum is “flexibly bilingual”—all plans are written in English, and the curriculum can be completed completely in English, but Spanish-speaking families can also complete read-alouds and activities in Spanish (both options are included in the curriculum). This curriculum does require the separate purchase (or library rental) of the picture books and anthologies that are included as its spine.
