Tutor: Mrs. Vickie Rukavina
Description: I have a passion for history and it is one of the main reasons that initially propelled me into home schooling my five children. Knowing who we are and where we have come from makes us more confident and secure people. It can also help us better discern the truth from propaganda. The text will cover 1708-2014, wars, ideologies, people, inventions, and events that have shaped our history. It is written and I teach it from the perspective of the hope that God gives us through all circumstances.
The text is wonderfully written in story form making it interesting to read. We cover 3 lessons per week, handouts will be given each week to complete, periodic simplistic notes will put on board to copy, periodic quizzes and end of semester tests will be given, presentations, and projects can be done if the student wishes. All are open to change if it is not your wish to have your student participate in the assessments or wish them to have extra help. It is important to me to accommodate what will help each student succeed.
In teaching I use media, notes, pictures, physical movement, repetition, games, a globe for each to place where will study each week, and timeline to help internalize and organize all of the information we will cover.
Grades will be given at the end of each quarter.
You will have communication from me via homeroom classroom that you and your student will need to check each week listing the assignments.

We will be exploring God’s incredible creation as we learn about topics like space, plate tectonics and volcanoes, weather, the water cycle, biomes, mapping, and so much more.
