We traveled through many states this summer and used it as an opportunity to introduce Geography to Boy O. We learned map skills, landforms, and the locations of all the states and capitals within the U.S. The introduction was so successful, that we are continuing with Geography and our goal this year is to keep the ball rolling and learn all the countries of the World. What better way to complement the location on a map with a book? Each week we pick a few countries, color them in on our world map and read a book about that country.
Here are the countries we have covered and the books we have read so far:
