Addition to Road Trip U.S.A. Curriculum

Geography wasn't a fun subject for me in school, I honestly dreaded it, so it was one of my resolution to make sure Geography would be a fun learning experience to Little V. We did use Road Trip U.S.A while she was in Kindergarten, but at that time my main objective was for her to learn the states, locate them and maybe as a bonus memorize a few capital cities. It went much better than I expected. Last year, for First Grade we used the Expedition Earth Curriculum and that was great too. This year, I decided that we should learn more about U.S.A Geography and Road Trip U.S.A., from Confessions of a Homeschooler is such a great choice because it gives me guidance and at the same time allows me to add more to it, and that's what I decided to do.

I made a Power Point presentation for each region and the states that belong to that region. We use the coloring pages and the postcards activities from Road Trip U.S.A., and I designed a Book Report.

I also, designed Multiple Choices Quizzes for the end of each state or two covered, and also for the end of each region.

We go to the library and get books about each of the state we are studying, and she uses these books to research the information to fill out the book report. She's loving it and we are learning more than we expected.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
