Thank you for downloading our Hawaii sample pages! The following pages are from Fifty States Under God, an “I Love History” overview of all fifty states in the order of statehood for grades 3 through 12. We think you will enjoy our materials, so we have offered you the opportunity to learn about Hawaii as you experience the enjoyment of using our book. Included in this sample are the four pages that cover Hawaii, as well as the full introduction and table of contents from Fifty States Under God, so you can get an idea what our book is about and how it can be used. The full volume of Fifty States Under God includes: • the lesson schedule and time line • a progressive map study (not shown in this free sample), so your student can watch the US map grow and change as new states are being added • four pages on every state, just like the Hawaii sample pages that follow • five review lessons (not shown in this free sample), which will teach your student to list the fifty states in the order of statehood and to identify the capital city, two-letter postal abbreviation, nickname, and map location of each state • color state symbol pictures for all fifty states • all information needed to fill out the workpages in the book • answer keys for the teacher In other words, Fifty States Under God is completely self-contained—everything you need to do the course is included right in the book! PLEASE NOTE: We offer a similar book on a lower grade level, Fifty States Under God for Young Learners, for age 3 through grade 3. This color-cut-and-paste version includes color state symbol pictures for all fifty states as well as informational cutouts for your student to cut and paste onto the work pages. This younger version can be used by itself or in correlation with the older book, allowing you to teach all ages simultaneously. It is also completely self-contained. We also offer separate complete courses on each of the fifty states! Most states require the student to study his own state. Our course on your state will provide more in-depth information about your state’s history, geography, state symbols, and many other topics, and will help you satisfy this requirement in a most enjoyable and easy way! We cover all levels, from age 3 through grade 12, and all levels are correlated so you can teach all ages simultaneously. All students make their own project notebook using text materials and state symbol pictures that we provide. For your convenience we have included a copy of our brochure and order form with this free sample. 1 INSTRUCTIONS for using your Hawaii sample pages: 1) Read the Hawaii section from the “Lesson Schedule and Time Line” page. This section gives important and interesting background information about how Hawaii achieved statehood. 2) Read the Interesting Facts page for Hawaii. This page is just for fun! The bottom section of this page is optional, in case your student wants to do additional reading or research to find something interesting about Hawaii on his own. 3) Read and fill in the second and third pages, which are workpages. As you work through these pages, you will see that the student is instructed to find the requested information in one of the appendices at the back of the book. Included at the end of this free sample are the Hawaii sections from the needed appendices, which will enable your student to fill in the requested information. Pictures of the state symbols, which the student will cut out and paste into the appropriate boxes, are also included at the end of this free sample (on the page with the answer keys). 4) Read the fourth page, which we like to call the “I love history” page. In the Fifty States Under God book, there is an “I love history” page for each state, on which we discuss a particular event related to that state that is interesting or important either from a historical perspective or from a Christian perspective. We hope that your student’s reaction to this sample section will be “MORE, PLEASE!” It is our desire to cultivate a love for history in your student, because history is the story of how God intervenes in the lives of men, working both through men and in spite of men to accomplish His purposes and to make His salvation known! What a blessed heritage we have in the United States, our “Fifty States Under God!” 2 LESSON SCHEDULE AND TIME LINE (Hawaii excerpt) LESSON 54 - Hawaii (page 235) 1959 The first Hawaiian request for statehood was sent to Congress in 1919. Many such requests were sent during the following years, but most of them never came to a vote. A number of legislators were afraid that the citizens of Hawaii would not support America in a time of war. In 1947, Congress took steps toward approving statehood for Hawaii. But when the Korean War began, statehood was put on the back burner. Still, Hawaii adopted a constitution in 1950. This constitution was to take effect when the territory was granted statehood. Finally, on August 21, 1959, Hawaii became the 50th state of the United States. 3 HAWAII Interesting Facts The world's largest dormant volcanic crater is in Hawaii.

People were brought from all over Hawaii to live at Kalawao. These people had leprosy, or Hansen's Disease, and had to stay away from other people to keep from spreading their sickness. The settlement was later moved to Kalaupapa. Pu'uhonua O Honaunau National Historic Park is a place where priests of idol-worship lived long ago. Most early Hawaiians did not believe in God. They believed in many gods, and there were many ways these gods could be offended. There FLOWER: were ancient laws or "kapu" which told how not to offend these gods. If someone broke these laws and incurred the anger of the gods, there was supposedly only one thing he could do to save his life--run as fast as he could to Pu'uhonua O Honaunau to be forgiven by a priest. The early Hawaiians went to great lengths to avoid offending imaginary Gods. The Bible tells us that we have all sinned against the only true God. Do you know the only way to save your soul from His anger against sin? Run to Jesus as fast as you can, and be forgiven by the One who died to pay for sin!
