Issue #20 - August 2008
Special Edition
In our last e-zine we introduced you to the concept of projects for homeschool children.We have continued to create these folders and there are now 7 available for you to choose from. There are still 2 more in the pipeline!
The way that we foresee people using them is either as a hands on supplement to our Footprints Heritage Program or as individual stand alone unit studies. We also have had encouragement from parents who use Konos as a curriculum as they can slot the more South African units into their current curriculum studies when it is very focussed on American history. We also recommend these project folders to parents just beginning on their homeschool journey so that they can do something with their children whilst they take their time to find the right curriculum for their family.
New project folders added this month:
French Huguenots
The Xhosa People
The 1820 Settlers
The Great Trek
The Zulu People
And we haven’t forgotten the little ones...be sure to check out our Otter Lapbook based on one of our Little Footprints story books.
Free Printables
To further excite you as to the fabulous opportunity in using these project file folders we have decided to give away one as a free printable. Seeing that the Dutch people were the first European settlers in South Africa we are giving away The Dutch at the Cape Project File Folder! Click here to download your free project file.
We do ask that you respect our copyright request, thanks!
