Cartography: The Easy Way

Teaching our children geography can be such a daunting task! Especially cartography, the art of drawing maps. Where to start? Should they know everything by heart? Which curriculum to use? So many options and questions it can get quite overwhelming. A few years ago, after baby #6’s arrival, I was tired, very tired, but school…

A Daily Picture Book has helped me simplify (and look forward to) our morning time. In the past, I have tried to do too much during this part of our school day. I am grateful to be able to not have to put the brainwork into deciding what to do. I simply pick the book selections we can do and any manageable craft/recipe selections for that day. Sometimes it ends up just being the book and that works too as my boys have really enjoyed the selections! It brings me peace of mind that the books are factually sound so if we miss other history, geography, etc. for the day, at least they've gotten a gem of knowledge from our morning time.
