Discover the Bounteous Treasures from the Days of Yesteryear at A Kinders Garten's Vintage Homeschool (AKGVH).
This website was created by a toothless old hag ooopps, I mean 60+ year Veteran Vintage Educator who decided now is the time to share with other like-minded Homeschoolers, Family Day Care providers, Elementary Private or Public School Teachers her time-tested vintage educational teaching resources and methods before she dies > OUCH!!!
The veteran Teacher began teaching at the elementary level during the mid-60's and left the unified school district in 1979. In January of 1980, she and opened up her A Kinders Garten school at her home before her own children were even born. She contracted with the state food and nutrition program to provide nutritious meals and snacks for her enrolled students, and she also contracted with the federal government through the state to provide immersion and transitional education to the children of political refugees.
As well, she taught Sunday School, Vacation Bible School and is a certified Missionettes Leader. The Teacher taught, fed and nurtured many a child over the decades and now she homeschools her grandchildren along with 12 pre-kers.
During the 90's, the Teacher obtained a nursing degree and taught Geriatric classes at the Unified School District to grades 6-12 aged children which included a weekly "clinical" instruction at the local Nursing Home in her curriculum.
Sewing was another skill she taught at the Unified School District Alternative and at the Community College District Adult Division Bayside Center.
And to wrap it all up she wrote and obtained grants from PBS public television and the University of Wisconsin to teach beginning sewing to teens at her home as an "after school enrichment" elective. She wrote a beginning sewing for teens curriculum which included a "Teen Fashion Show" held at the Local Town Hall on the Congressional designated "Safe Night USA." date, June 5, 1999.
