How We Homeschool: Geography Yr 1

Geography? For First Grade? 

I know, I thought the same thing when I first perused the curriculum I chose for my daughter. But I went with it.  I searched high and low into every single subject and was able to see glimmers of what other veteran moms did and asked questions in forums, etc.  But I thought, since we're nearly done with this first year and my daughter so looks forward to this subject when she sees it's on our schedule for the week, that it would be beneficial for other homeschool families to see a deep dive into this subject. 

Here's a quick video outlining the books we use, a quick glimpse into them and all the resources we use as well. You'll also get a chance to peak into our geography lesson.  Enjoy!

I hope seeing all that in action helps you feel more confident to step into your next geography lesson! Here are some links to the resources I mentioned:

It's safe to say that Geography has now become one of our favorite subjects! Tell me, do you do geography a bit differently?  I'd love to hear your ideas on how to bring this subject to life in the comments below.  

I hope to have the next deep dive into a new subject up for you on the blog and Youtube Channel up soon.  Any requests on which subject you'd like to see our take on next? Let me know below!

Until the next time friends!
