Description
Class Experience
Learn all about one of the most exciting and important battles of World War 2! Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the United States was thrust into a war with a very skilled enemy – the Empire of Japan. Following the Doolittle Raid and the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Battle of Midway would occur in early June, 1942. This was a vast operation involving more aircraft carriers then had ever been deployed against each other. Naval warfare had taken a shift… It was no longer the mighty...

I have been teaching military history to elementary students since 2001 and parents have appreciated the approach I use given the age of the students. I try to keep our study away from the more age inappropriate topics, such as The Holocaust, harsh treatment of POW's, etc. It is not that these topics aren't important, it's just that the age range for these lessons (8-14) is a bit on the younger side, so I feel that they are better left to teachers of older grades. When I do get questions about the more disturbing aspects of the war, I might answer along the lines of, "these soldiers went into this country and did not treat the people there well," instead of giving specifics. Having said this, please be aware that these classes are about warfare and military history. One aspect of this is to talk about weapons from the corresponding era, and to discuss advancements in military technology. I don't handle any firearms personally, but we do discuss weapons and technology and I show pictures and videos when appropriate. If your learner is sensitive to this kind of subject, and may get frightened or upset upon seeing a picture of a rifle, cannon, tank or bullet, then this may not be the class for them. This is a class about military history, and there is no way to avoid this, so please take this into account before signing up.
