Amy+2 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 For right now, since my kids are younger, we really enjoy Galloping the Globe and Cantering the Country for our geography. They work great for us! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwalizer Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 We use Geography Trails World Geography. I think it is the same company that makes the curriculum Amy recommended. If the US geo is similar to the world geo then it must be very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krista in LA Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 We are using the world geography this year, but I like it enough that I'm planning on using the US geography next year. It covers all grade levels so you can even use it more than once. I really like the cd that you can get that has all of the student pages with it too.

King Alfred Academy Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I am not sure if this is what you are looking for and I have not even read a page of these books and I don't know if they are US (I think they are), but what about the Holling C. Holling books. Here is a link with maps and a study guide to use with them. I am looking into them for my boys next year. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayle in Guatemala Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Beautiful Feet Geography using the Holling C. Holling books. We are actually repeating this next year at the request of my dc. They enjoyed it, too. I would recommend the map pack from Rainbow Resource, too. They are wonderful, inexpensive, and make beautiful maps.

VanessaS Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Oooh. Those Geography Matters curriculum look great. Thanks so much! I've been looking everywhere for something like this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closeacademy Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 We've been reading Holling C. Holling's Paddle to the Sea and have been learning quite a bit about the Great Lakes. I've paged through the other books of his and I would say that a good map and a set of his books will give you a fun U.S. geography course. I keep the maps next to the beds so we can look at them and talk about them at night, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kortney in AL Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I like Geography Trails. We've also done the Beautiful Feet geography with the Holling books. We got the map set to go with it. My kids did such a great job on those maps. They are works of art!! I have them hanging in my kitchen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. Readsalot Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I like to combine great books with learning geography so this was a natural winner for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amary Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Evan-Moor continent series (e.g., North America grades 3-6 not the little kids one) ages 7-8 along with fiction and non-fiction from public library Linked with history ages 9-10 (we just use a children's atlas, outline maps and globe). Holling Unit (Beautiful Feet) around ages 10-12 Maps, Charts & Graphs G and H for practice in reading all kinds of maps around 7th/8th grade 9th grade Runkle, just the mapping part so that they will memorize the world along with Geography Encyclopedia (Kingfisher I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
