Kathleen –
Fantastic! I’ve completed Europe and South/Central America + Australia with my three boys, currently in grades 12, 9, and 5. We do geography lessons all together despite the age range and it’s worked wonderfully. We also purchased Hungry Planet, Material World, and all the supplemental books recommended for each guide. My kids love our geography studies and so do I. So thankful to have found a CM geography method in a done-for-you curriculum. Such a time saver and so well done. Thank you!!
