Our Process
Four decades of experience have taught us a thing or two about creating curriculum that works. Here’s how we do it.
Roadtrip the United States from your living room. Through impactful books, this K-3rd grade geography curriculum will give your student a foundational understanding of geography and social studies concepts as well as appreciation for the diverse geography, culture, and ecology of the United States.
Introduce your student to the vibrant geography and diverse ecosystems of the United States with this engaging U.S. geography teacher guide for Kindergarten through 3rd grade. This early elementary resource blends meaningful lessons, colorful maps, and hands-on activities to build foundational geography and social studies skills through real-world exploration.
This guide supports parents in using living books that help children connect emotionally and intellectually with people and places across the country. Students will meet a grandma who hiked the Appalachian Trail, a family traveling west in a covered wagon with fruit trees, Pony Express riders, and a boy from New York City adjusting to life in New Mexico. These stories nurture character, curiosity, and sympathy as students learn about regional customs, landscapes, and ways of life from coast to coast.
While exploring each U.S. region, young learners build essential map skills and geography concepts. Cultural exploration is woven throughout, including regional recipes, national parks, and monuments. Field trip ideas encourage real-world learning.
Flexible instructions and optional activities help parents tailor lessons and pacing to their child’s individual needs.

This is such a great way to teach geography. My son loved the maps. His little sister has kept his maps and pulls them out all the time. She cannot wait until it is her turn. Everyone enjoyed the Holling books, not just my son.
I love this study. The Holling C. Holling books are wonderful and fun to read. We started by drawing our own maps and this was hard. I recommend the map set.
This is ONE of our favorite BF guides and studies....I have used it several times with different groups of my 9 children.....and now my daughter who loves BF will be using it with my grand-children....
