My Story Begins

My Story Begins is a hands-on social studies curriculum designed especially for Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten students. Through engaging stories, simple activities, and play-based learning, students explore who they are, how to be a good friend and citizen, how to stay safe, and how they connect to the world around them. Along the way, they are gently introduced to important concepts like community, maps, time, and basic history. This full-color course is easy to use, interactive, and developmentally appropriate, and it is fully aligned to cover all Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten social studies standards, helping young learners build confidence, curiosity, and a strong foundation for future learning.

“I can’t say enough good things about this Social Studies curriculum—it’s exactly what we were looking for. It’s truly open-and-go and fits into our homeschool days without stress, which makes such a difference. The balance of crafts, literature pairings, and meaningful learning keeps us all engaged and excited. Jen’s passion for history shines on each page, she makes Social Studies feel fun instead of overwhelming. My kids are involved and really absorbing what they’re learning. It’s become one of the happiest, easiest parts of our week.” - D. Schwartz
