ABOUT THIS EPISODE
I Made a Juneteenth Unit Study
In this mini episode of Secular Homeschool Revolution, Ashley shares the heart behind her new Juneteenth Unit Study and why this resource is such a meaningful next step for the brand.
Ashley talks about creating homeschool lessons informally for years, working with her husband to fine-tune the curriculum, and building a resource that helps families teach Juneteenth with truth, care, joy, and a decolonized lens.
This episode also explains how to use the unit study, including the parent guide, student workbook, decolonized vocabulary, hands-on activities, and the importance of helping kids think like historians by asking questions, noticing missing voices, and thinking critically about history.
This Juneteenth Unit Study is designed for secular progressive homeschool families who want more than a surface-level holiday lesson. It invites children to understand Juneteenth as a Black freedom story, a Texas story, a resistance story, and a celebration of Black joy.
