Hello, I am looking for a list of wonder-filled geography books meant to inspire travel and wonder at the world we have been given to enjoy. We are currently working our way through Richard Halleburton's Marvels book and I would love to find another book like it. And/or something that could accompany it. Any ideas? Thanks for your tips! ~Cynthia

Hello, I am in my second year of homeschooling my just-turned 6 year old. She's technically a kindergartener but she's easily doing first grade level work in reading and math, and is learning Spanish, geography, and history as well. My charter school rep said she's likely an AL. We are having difficulty with her attitude towards school. She seems unmotivated/disinterested in learning. My husband is an AL and he says its because she's not being properly challenged. But I am not certain. She gets into trouble at her co-op because she's spacing out and not paying attention, but she's not willing to put in the work to do the lessons like everyone else. When I or her co-op teacher challenge her with something and she finds its too difficult, she cries and gets upset. Does anyone have any suggestions for us? She's such a bright kid - she picks up on things so quickly, but she's more interested in being with her friends and playing, then in school. I would have expected something different from her, given how quickly she picks up on things. How can I motivate her? How can I help her WANT to learn?

Do you have a suggestion for us just starting out? I'm worried about my daughter's ability to track with the amount of reading in one sitting, just starting out. But if I break it apart, paragraph, she might lose its coherence.

Has anyone here every used Story of the World for Charlotte Mason narration? I know I'm mixing philosophies of homeschooling here, so that's why I'm asking.
