Heritage Packs
Black History and African Culture Lesson Guides
Amazing Africa Heritage Pack
The Amazing Africa! Heritage Pack is designed to introduce your child to the wonderful continent of Africa through high-level overviews of many countries combined with more in-depth “visits” using engaging living picture books.
Melanated Tales Heritage Pack
The Melanated Tales Heritage Pack takes children on a journey through African and African American folktales, fairy tales, and tall tales featuring Black characters. Some are retellings of favorites from Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm while others are original.
Harlem Renaissance Stomp! Heritage Pack
The Harlem Renaissance Heritage Pack covers a golden age in African American culture from about 1918 until the mid-1930s when a brave and talented group of Black musicians, artists, poets, novelists, actors, and public figures came together in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood.
Heart and Soul Heritage Pack
The Heart & Soul Heritage Pack is designed as a broad journey through the contributions and experiences of African Americans across the history of America. The lesson plans are grounded in Kadir Nelson’s stirring paintings and words.
Civil Rights Heritage Pack
The Civil Rights Heritage Pack is a survey of the brave men and women who risked their reputations, livelihoods, and often even their very lives to press towards what they knew to be right.
Voices Heritage Pack
The Voices Heritage Pack highlights the stories of Black leaders and events to provide a deeper understanding of how some of the lesser-known figures from history helped shape and enrich the cultural road map of African Americans.
Joyful Generations Heritage Pack
The Joyful Generations Heritage Pack tells stories of iconic and lesser-known people from the past and present. The age-appropriate books and videos share the fullness of various Black people’s life experiences as they dealt with enslavement, segregation, poverty, and other difficult circumstances. But make no mistake, the focus of this study is triumph, achievement, and joy.
Heritage Pack Bundle A
A discounted bundle of three lesson guides designed for Early Elementary students interested in African geography (the modern-day land and its people), fairytales and folktales featuring Black characters, and African American history and culture.
Heritage Pack Bundle B
A discounted bundle of four lesson guides designed for Late Elementary & Middle School students interested in an overview of African American history, a deep dive into the Civil Rights Movement, an exploration of the Harlem Renaissance, and a survey of Black achievement.
Sweet Tea & Cookies: A Family Celebration of the American South
Sweet Tea & Cookies is a multicultural family celebration of the American South. But it’s not about state flags, birds, flowers, and capital cities. Rather, this guide digs deeply into the soul of the South. You’ll hear from all kinds of people because the story of the American South is wrapped up and intermingled with a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
Heritage Hymns: A Curated Collection of Hymnal Studies
“Heritage Hymns” is a curated collection of multicultural hymnal studies born of my desire to expand the traditional offering of resources for my family and yours. Listening to a variety of song versions across weeks, months, and years of hymn study is a wonderful gift to our children.
