How to Help Your Teen Study Smarter: Sponge Learning Skills Review

I am a huge advocate of getting out of the textbook when teaching United States history in middle school. That means using tools like videos for teaching. If your middle schooler is studying early American History, add some of these videos to your teen's lesson plans. They will help bring history to life because history is fun! We love the first one. Which one will you watch first? #USHistory #earlyamericanhistory #homeschoolhistory #historyisfun #tweens #teens #middleschool #educationpossible

Using Early American History Videos in Your Homeschool

When studying early American history, include as many games and hands-on activities as possible to bring the time period to life. Get your teens involved by mapping out some key points and events from history. These are easy ways to get creative with mapping out Colonial history. You'll be having fun with history while working on geography. We loved the build and create project! #USHistory #colonialhistory #historyisfun #handsonhistory #tweens #teens #geography #homeschooling #educationpossible

One of the best ways to get older kids interested in American history is to make it interactive. If you're studying the pioneers, take some time to study their journey west through their mode of transportation. Here are some fun covered wagon activities you can use as part of your American frontier middle school lesson plans. Building the life sized wagon was awesome! #pioneerhistory #middleschool #educationpossible #homeschoolhistory #handsonhistory #homeschooling #tweens #teens
