The teacher’s guide is beautiful and is very easy to use. The accompanying picture books are rich and give a fantastic glimpse into the cultures and histories of countries around our world.

I love this curriculum! I have used it in some fashion for the past 6+ years. The book list alone is worth the price... Be prepared to learn alongside your kids and enjoy it SO MUCH!!

I am not a YouTuber or affiliate or anything of the sort, just a normal homeschool mama! I use this with my older three (9, 8, 6) and we absolutely LOVE it. There’s so many extra suggested deep dives that have been so full of rich information. I do think each family is unique and individual but even days or activities I thought “this won’t be very fun” we ended up loving. The Anno’s books really seemed terrible to me but my kids really enjoyed them! We ended up googling and YouTubing things we found interesting in the pictures. Make it your own, there is so much richness here without feeling like too much. We return to these resources again and again!

This is okay— quite expensive for the information. They say it is a complete program minus math and LA but I find we are heavily supplementing this program to make it an enjoyable learning experience with girth. Also, there is extensive and interesting historical and cultural information about Latin America that could have been expounded upon. For example, we took a week to learn all about chocolate that grows on the cocoa tree and is native to Brazil. Why that interesting and delicious topic wasn’t covered is beyond me as there are many EXCELLENT picture books (like the Chocolate tree or No monkey no chocolate) that speak to the rich cultural, natural, and diverse experiences one can explore in South America. It just seems heavily tilted toward Western civilization— South America was heavily filled with Darwinism, a Victorian naturalist from the West— so, while these narratives are worthwhile and interesting, they are not the only or more important than non-white stories that contribute to our world story :-)

We absolutely love getting to immerse ourselves in each country! My 7yo has a very short attention span when it comes to listening to facts but she loves stories and a learning experience that incorporates all her senses. She especially loves the watercoloring. We love learning about different animals and enjoy all of the quality literature represented in this curriculum. She looks forward to ending our study with one of the recipes and is sad to move on to another country. So far, we have done all of South America and are looking forward to moving on to Europe! Excellent curriculum!
