Our Star-Spangled Story

What if U.S. history felt more like reading a great book than slogging through a textbook? That's exactly what Our Star-Spangled Story delivers. This complete year-long U.S. history course for grades 1–4 brings America's past to life with real stories, beautiful visuals, and activities that work across ages and attention spans.

Split into 90 short lessons (about 10–15 minutes each), this curriculum helps young learners meet the people who shaped the nation—through storytelling, art, music, maps, and weekly projects. Best part? It's easy to teach, even with multiple ages at the table.

Each lesson finishes with a Scripture verse to tie the themes to character-building reflection, and each unit wraps with a creative family project like crafting, music, or sharing a special meal inspired by the time period.
