Our Process
Four decades of experience have taught us a thing or two about creating curriculum that works. Here’s how we do it.

Introduce your student to the vibrant geography and diverse ecosystems of the United States with this engaging U.S. geography curriculum designed for Kindergarten through 3rd grade. This early elementary resource blends meaningful lessons, colorful maps, and hands-on activities to build foundational geography and social studies skills through memorable, real-world exploration.
At the heart of this program are carefully chosen living books that help children form emotional and intellectual connections with the people and places across our country. These narratives nurture character, sympathy, and curiosity as students learn about regional customs, landscapes, and ways of life from coast to coast.
Stories featuring a grandma who hiked the Appalachian Trail, a family moving west in a covered wagon and taking fruit trees to Oregon, Pony Express riders, and a boy from New York City who finds himself living in New Mexico will fascinate students, naturally drawing them into the study.
Young learners explore each region of the United States while developing essential map skills and geography concepts. Cultural exploration is woven throughout the study, with opportunities to make regional recipes and explore national parks and monuments. Families are encouraged to take learning into the world with field trip ideas, because we know learning happens everywhere.
Our beloved 18” x 24” maps for coloring and labeling add a hands-on, artistic element that reinforces geographic awareness through kinesthetic learning. Flexible instructions and optional activities help parents tailor the experience to their student’s learning style, interests, and pace.
Whether used as a core social studies course or alongside our Early American History study, this curriculum supports both academic and character growth for Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders, inspiring students to feel connected to the land, history, and people of the United States.

I'm really excited to have found this beautiful curriculum for my 2nd, 1st and pre-k children! I love that it's something we can do all together. It's evident that the books selected were thoughtfully chosen and most of them we haven't read yet! My only critique is that I felt the description of materials was slightly unclear in terms of receiving a hard copy of the guide. I ordered the History and Character studies and assumed that I needed to print both myself, which can be pricy if you want to print in color. The character study did not come with a hard copy of the lessons, but the history did.
Love this curriculum just as much as we’ve loved the other guides we’ve bought from Beautiful Feett
My son was so excited we started the day it came in the mail. I love how it is literature based, not scripted, and easy to add onto. I appreciate the convenience of the books and main points being laid out there. The activities and recipes are great. None of this is overwhelming. I also purchased the seasons afield. We are looking forward to that and getting history in the future.
My son looks forward to Geography day every week. Some weeks we split it into a few days, and some weeks we devote an entire day to this subject as it easily includes, writing, history, reading, art and more. My son loves it and I do as well! I highly recommend!
My 5 and 8 year old have really enjoyed learning geography using this curriculum. Using the map to color the states that the stories are about is what my kids' favorite part is. It helps them "see" where the stories are taking place. We do not do the state books because my kids aren't interested in facts about each state, instead we watch videos about each state during lunch. This subject has been our favorite this year.
