The perfect addition to Your Classroom
“There is a tendency of people to make you believe only a few people are smart. As a brain surgeon, I know better than that.” — Dr. Ben Carson
At the American Cornerstone Institute, we firmly believe in the potential of every child. This is why we proudly present the Little Patriots program, an engaging and user-friendly curriculum designed to help educators teach civics, history, and American values to children. Star Spangled Adventures, the Little Patriots animated series introduces important historical topics and events in a fun and accessible way. Teachers can seamlessly integrate the cartoons into their social studies lessons at any point during the school year. We also offer supporting video resources such as, Learn More With Liberty and Patriot of the Week videos, which are implemented into the curriculum to further enhance the learning experience. Each cartoon episode includes free supplemental lesson plans created by a team of dedicated educators, including public and private school teachers, curriculum directors, and online learning experts. These lessons are offered on a digital platform or in a printable teacher guide designed to complement the cartoons and provide comprehensive instructional support.
For private and Christian schools, we also offer a faith supplement that can be easily incorporated into the lessons. This supplement includes Bible verses and stories where applicable, providing additional resources for Christian education.
If you are interested in implementing the Little Patriots program in your school or classroom, please email us at [email protected] for further assistance and information. We look forward to supporting you in bringing history to life for your students and instilling the values that have shaped our nation.
