ChristusG Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I'd like to do a state study with my kids...some sort of thing where we "travel" through the United States (from the comfort of our own home, of course) and learn about each state. I'd like to make a passport and get some state stickers so that when we "visit" that state, they can put the sticker in their passport. I'd like them to maybe make brochures for some states, maybe write a few short paragraphs sometimes, etc. Is there any resource like this? I'd love to not have to research everything on my own.

fraidycat Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I believe there is one called "Road Trip USA". I will look to see if I can find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Yes, that is it. Here is a blog review about it: http://www.homeschoolcreations.net/2011/05/road-trip-usa-geography-curriculum/ ETA: Apparently that is the blogger who wrote and sells the curriculum. I just glanced quickly the first time. Edited July 21, 2012 by fraidycat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunnyDays Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Another one is "Cantering the Country" by GeoMatters. It's geared toward elementary students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2OandE Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 We are doing Road Trip this year. I'm using it as a spine and changing things as I need to make it more in tune of our intrests. We are also hoping to do a few family trips in the US this year so we are incorporating that into it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Highlights has Which Way USA. I have not used it, so I can't comment on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsheresomewhere Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Highlights has Which Way USA. I have not used it, so I can't comment on it. I have this. We like it but I added in more landmarks, vacation places or special places in history for us. For the price it is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
