Modern World Literature: Renaissance to Present (St. Therese Wednesdays Session F 2:40-3:25 p.m.) 1st-4th

Year long ($50 enrollment fee)

Crafts, activities, discussion, games, worksheets & play are typical classroom activities in our history class. Elementary classes are not graded, but fun and interactive learning.

Now more than ever, other countries and customs affect our everyday lives―and our children need to learn about the people who live all around the world.

We’ll sweep across the landscape of the globe meeting people groups and events that have a direct effect on us today. And we’ll do it in an engaging age-appropriate manner.
