Description
In this 4th–6th grade social studies and geography curriculum teacher guide, your family will encounter lessons in US geography, states, and regions through a literature-based, hands-on approach.
This guide supports parents in leveraging lessons from living books that engage students with diverse people and places, fostering sympathy, character development, and memorable experiences. Stories encountered in the study include John Muir as he explores his adopted country, living among the Hidatsa in the Dakotas, building the Transcontinental Railroad with workers from China, and exploring the wilderness with Daniel Boone.
The guide includes weekly units covering essential topics such as geography terms and geography skills, from continents, rivers, and plains to biomes and other physical features. Students build basic geography skills, mapping skills, and fluency with geographical terms.
The guide includes suggestions for hands-on activities like regional recipes and mapping, and ideas for taking your homeschool out of the home, because we know learning happens everywhere.
Lessons are designed to be flexible for both home or charter school, and co-op settings, with adaptable activities and pacing to meet the specific needs of individual students.
