    Are geographical land forms taught?  Map reading or using a compass?

    None of those things were covered in the Visits to that I did (North America).

    Home Geography for the Primary Grades by C.C. Long

    As the Crow Flies by Gail Hartman

    Geography from A to Z by Jack Knowlton

    We’re using The Geography Book next year and it covers much of those things.  We’ll be doing one lesson a week.  There are 38 lessons, so we’ll end up skipping a couple.  I only found one lesson that contained evolution/old earth creationism (it was on continental drift).   I came across the book in the CM Bookfinder and it looked like something my DC would love: https://apps.simplycharlottemason.com/resources/detail/74357

    Missceegee,  Great book list!  I’ve used the last three with my older kids, and will have to get them again.  I will check out the other ones.

    Holly, I didn’t know I needed The Geography Book.  It’s going in my cart. What a fun book! We are scheduling geography to be done on dad’s day off, and he is a hands on learner so this will be perfect for him to use along with our Visits to America.  Thanks for sharing!
