Description
*This product contains two downloads: the study guide notes and the coloring pictures.
Pack your bags for Europe and South America. This homeschool geography study uses award-winning children's picture books to guide K-4 students through history, nature study, folktales, fables, music, art, and poetry, with gentle Socratic questions woven in to encourage thoughtful discussion.
Travel through France, Spain, Italy, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, and Great Britain before crossing the ocean to Ecuador, Chile, Peru, and Brazil. Along the way, students color and cut out maps and flags for each country, then journal about what they've discovered about its people, customs, and landscapes.
Every country study also features illustrations of animals native to the region, giving students a window into local wildlife, habitats, and behaviors that builds a lasting appreciation for the natural world. Chapters wrap up with a taste of local cuisine: recipes, photos, and links that turn dinner into a cultural adventure.
Library Connections and History and Biography suggestions accompany each chapter, giving parents plenty of room to extend the study with additional reading. Roughly seventy lessons make up the full course, easily paced at four lessons a week for a semester or two lessons a week across a full year.
This study is a companion to Around the World with Picture Books, Part 1, which covers Asia, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica. The two studies can be completed in either order.
