My family had the privilege of trying Let's Go Geography, Year 2 from Let's Go Geography for this review to use in conjunction with our own curriculum at home. This is a Homeschool Review Crew Review. All opinions expressed are my own or those of my family.

Let's Go Geography is a wonderful geography curriculum that is perfect for kids in kindergarten through 4th grade. This can be used by one teacher for all their students in their class(es). Great for homeschool, co-ops, and small classrooms.

This curriculum is a course to introduce younger kids to geography with a different country every week. This curriculum has a total of three complete years of world geography. This covers most of the countries of the world. Each year covers two regions of the US plus 26 or so countries. The subscription is for a full year. You can either choose getting the lessons one semester at a time or the entire year all at once. You can do the lessons online or you also have the option to download the entire semester or year (PDFs) to your computer and do them offline. These are designed to be done in order, but you can also jump around to teach about the countries you are most interested in. You will also get a very handy reminder email every week with the link to the lesson for the following week. The Standard Membership gives you access to the lessons for two years. They also have Lifetime Access.

Your student can also make a Travel Journal in a 3-ring binder to keep all the geography pages organized. The subscription comes with free printable covers for the journal. The Passport pages are an additional cost to print out (we as crew members did also get this for free). Store all Travel Itinerary, maps, coloring pages, Passports, and projects in the Travel Journal.

The lessons are very hands-on with crafts, activities, and links to engaging videos and other online content. Each weeks lesson takes about an hour and has 6 chapters including: Map It!, The Flag, The Music, Let's Explore, Create!, and Printables. While your student learns, each lesson has all kinds of fun stuff for them to do. Your student will color flags, find things on maps, watch and listen to songs that go with the theme and sing along, watch videos or read books about the country, look at pictures of the highlights for the country on scrapbook pages, write on decorated notebooking pages or color a themed page, and make a craft. These hands-on activities make every lesson more interesting in this fun homeschool geography.

How We Used This and Our Thoughts:

I did this with my daughter Zari, who is 9. We received the standard membership unlike year 1 when we received lifetime membership through the crew. We did one lesson per week which put us at 5 lessons during this review period. We picked a day to do each lesson every week. We did the lessons in order as they came so I could keep track of them easier. I downloaded all the lessons to my computer so that I would have them there if I needed to use see them while I was offline. We learned about the: Continents of N. America, S. America, and Europe; Pacific NW, Mountain West, South Atlantic, and Mexico so far. We found that the pictures of the flags for the Travel Journal were very small and hard to color with anything, but a very sharpened colored pencil. We loved doing all the hands-on activities: watching videos, coloring, and crafts, etc. while we learned this kids homeschool geography curriculum.

Zari making the first three Continent Dividers for the notebook.

For The Continents Part One we learned about North America, South America, and Europe. We mapped some items on a world map. We also answered questions about the climate from another map. We listened to a song about the world's oceans and put together continent dividers for our Travel Notebook. There are 3 continent dividers for this lesson and 3 in lesson 19. Since this lesson was not about a particular country and instead focused on three continents it was structured a bit differently. We watched a short movie clip about each of the three continents in this lesson. After each clip Zari made the continent divider that went with each one. There is also a video clip about Antarctica, but no divider to make for it this year since it is actually covered in year 3. There are also extra activities for older students like: reading a webpage about the continents, getting books to read from the library, atlas reading, and writing what you learned in the notebooking pages that can be printed out. Zari skipped those for now. Since it was just Zari and her sister we didn't play the The North-South-East-West Game, but it sounded fun for when we had more players.

Zari Painting the Mountains and Trees craft for the Pacific NW.

For The Pacific NW we learned about 3 states in the USA: Washington, Oregon, and California. I was concerned a little bit by Let's Go Geography's definition of the Pacific NW. The common definition actually refers to the Pacific NW as the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. In broader terms, the region also encompasses Alaska, Yukon, California, western Montana and parts of Wyoming. So really saying that Washington, Oregon, and California are the only three states comprising the Pacific NW, like Let's Go Geography was doing, is actually not entirely correct. Anyway, enough of my geography rant...on to what we did and learned this lesson. We did a bunch of mapping and answering questions from using the map. We colored a tiny American flag and glued it to a page of flags for the notebook. We listened to the National Anthem of America and the folk song of Washington. We looked at color pictures of highlights of the places which actually included pictures of things in Wyoming and Montana as well (I would think this would be confusing for others since Let's Go Geography stated that Pacific NW was Washington, Oregon, and California). It also includes a picture of rock formations in Utah and the Four Corners??? 😕 We also learned about reforestation, the Sequoias of California,  Mt. Saint Helens, Crater Lake, etc. by watching video clips. Zari loved doing the craft of the Mountains & Trees of the Pacific Northwest. I told Zari that we live in the Pacific NW.

Zari making the Desert Sunset with Cacti craft for the Mountain West.

For The Mountain West we learned about 8 states in the USA: Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona, known better as The Mountain States. We did some map activities and answered some questions about these states and the surrounding area. We listened to the National Anthem (this time a different person was performing) and folk music from cowboy days. We learned about The Rocky Mountains, buffalo, and the Hoover Dam. We looked at color pictures of highlights of the places like: Lake Mead, Snake River, etc. Some of the same pictures as were used for the Pacific NW PDF were in this PDF, but this time they actually went with the theme. We watched a video of drone footage of the Colorado Rocky Mountains and the Grand Canyon set to music which was awesome!  We loved watching the time lapse video on International Balloon Fiesta in New Mexico and learning about growing potatoes in Idaho. Zari enjoyed making the craft, A Desert Sunset with Cacti. I told Zari that I used to live and go to school (Provo High School and Utah Valley State University) in Provo and Orem Utah and that her Daddy and I got married in the Jordan River Temple in South Jordan Utah.

Zari coloring The South Atlantic coloring page.

For The South Atlantic we learned about 8 states in the USA: Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, & Florida. We did some map activities and answered some questions about these states and the surrounding area. We listened to the National Anthem (this time a different person was performing) and a folk song from American past. We learned about the Mason-Dixon line, Georgia crops, etc. We looked at color pictures of highlights of the places like: homes of some of the presidents, the Biltmore House, New River Gorge Bridge, etc. We watched a video of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Appalachian Trail, Washington DC, etc. Zari wanted to color the coloring page this time for the Create section instead of the craft this time. I told her that other than her and Teela everyone else in our family has lived in Florida before.

Zari coloring the Mexico coloring page.

For lesson 5 we learned about Mexico. We did some map activities and answered some questions about this country and the surrounding area. We colored a tiny Mexican flag and glued it to a page of flags for the notebook. We listened to the National Anthem of Mexico and a Mariachi Band. We learned some facts about Mexico and then looked at color pictures of highlights like: Aculpulco, Popocatepetl, Monarch Butterflies, etc. We watched videos on visiting Mexico, and seeing some Aztec & Incan ruins, etc. Zari loved the video about making the hats. It was really interesting because we learned they had to be made in caves. Zari colored the picture of the 5 things to remind her of Mexico that we printed from the PDF. The picture had a Mexican Beaded Lizard, sombreros, maracas, hot peppers, and cactus.

We had a great time doing this geography curriculum for kids. It is a great stand alone curriculum for younger children, but for the older kids would be a great supplement to use with another geography program. I recommend this to homeschooling families with kids in Kindergarten through fifth grade. We can't wait to do more of these lessons.

How We Used This and Our Thoughts:
I did this with my daughters, who are 9 and 6. We did one lesson per week which put us at 5 lessons during this review period. We picked a Monday to do each lesson every week. We did the lessons in order as they came so I could keep track of them easier. I downloaded all the lessons to my computer so that I would have them there if I needed to use see them while I was offline. We learned about the Northeast part of the US, Hawaii, Canada, Haiti, and Nicaragua so far. We found that the pictures of the flags for the Travel Journal were very small and hard to color with anything, but a very sharpened colored pencil. We loved doing all the hands-on activities: watching videos, coloring, and crafts, etc. while we learned this kids homeschool geography curriculum.

Let's Go Geography Northeast US Lighthouse Craft with a modification.

The Northeast part of the US consists of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey. I haven't really visited that many of these states so it was fun to introduce my younger kids to them. I told my daughters that it was Pennsylvania that I would go with my daughter, Tatiana, multiple times for the Life Vessel, treatment therapy she had, that helped her. Massachusetts was also where my husband was born. When we did the Northeast part of the US my girls especially loved making the lighthouses out of cups, paper, and tape. I didn't have any of the smaller plastic cups that were needed so I improvised and cut a 20 fl oz clear soda pop bottle (we used ones with red lids, but black would look cool too) in half (ours had a line to follow all the way around) with a blade. I did this ahead of time for the girls. We used the top half and it fit over the larger red cups perfectly. We didn't have any white tape, so we used white strips of paper taped around the red cup for the stripes. I don't have battery operated tealights, but I placed a small unlit candle in the pop bottle chamber just for show. We used black duct tape for the door and windows instead of black paper or marker.

Let's Go Geography Hawaiian Lei Craft.

For Hawaii I was hoping that they would have a Hawaiian song or Hula dance for the music instead of the US National Anthem again because it would show their culture better. My girls loved making the leis. We had a handful of colored plastic straws that we cut up into pieces to use as spacers for the paper flowers instead of the beads. I told my daughters that my husband used to live in Hawaii while he was in the Navy and my sister Jennifer (their aunt) went on an LDS mission there. I hope to someday visit too.

For Canada we learned about the Canadian flag, learned the anthem, learned that Canadians speak both English and French, about the Inuit people, and Niagara Falls. We learned about the Canadian Maple Leaf and why it is an important symbol to Canada. We also made a craft with the leaf.

For Haiti we learned about the flag and the symbols on it, heard the anthem in French, about its mountains and deforestation, about the crops people grow to earn a living. We also made some Haitian art with a batik feel.

Let's Go Geography Nicaragua Green Sea Turtle Puppet Craft.

For Nicaragua we learned about the flag and its symbols, we heard the anthem in Spanish, watched a volcano erupt, learned ways people earn a living, how a hand-rolled cigar is made (which I thought might not be a good thing to have kids watch even though it is a big part of Nicaraguan culture), learned about animals of the region, specifically sea turtles. We also made a sea turtle paper bag puppet.

We had a great time doing this geography curriculum for kids. I like that there are breaks and review lessons so that your student also retains the knowledge of the previous lessons. It is a great stand alone curriculum for younger children, but for the older kids would be a great supplement to use with another geography program. I recommend this to homeschooling families with kids in Kindergarten through fourth grade. We can't wait to do more of these lessons.

Shepherd, Potter, Spy--and the Star Namer by Peggy Consolver Book Review

My family had the privilege of trying the Shepherd, Potter, Spy--and the Star Namer from Peggy Consolver - Author for this review to use in conjunction with our own homeschool Bible study curriculum. This is a Homeschool Review Crew Review. All opinions expressed are my own or those of my family. Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.

Peggy Consolver is the author to Shepherd, Potter, Spy--and the Star Namer. She was wanting to write about the Gibeonites of Joshua 9 and 10 from the Bible. In 2010 she received the fantastic opportunity to go to the city of Khiret el-Maqatir, Israel on an 18 day archaeological excavation with a team of archeologists from Associates for Biblical Research (ABR) and people like herself who volunteered to become amateur archeologists. This city meets the most criteria for being the Biblical city Ai from the Old Testament. She learned a lot on her trip there and what she experienced there brought her story to life. Here is a little more about her trip in her words.

Shepherd, Potter, Spy--and the Star Namer is a story that takes place in Gibeon, a Canaanite city north of Jerusalem. This story is told through the eyes of a thirteen year old Canaanite shepherd boy named Keshub as he: braves predators that want to harm his flock, learns the skills of a warrior, deals with the persecution from bullying and sibling rivalry, and proves himself among his older brothers. A shepherd and a potter's son, he wishes he could travel and see the world full of adventure like the caravanners that stop and tell of things beyond his small valley. Keshub has to make some crucial decisions on what to do, who to help, and what he actually believes. These decisions shape his life and who he becomes. This book follows Joshua's biblical story of the Hebrew/Israelite invasion and conquest of Canaan from the totally new perspective and point of view of the Gibeonites who by deception and trickery survive the attack.

Book, scripture, and bookmark.

How We Used This and Our Thoughts:

I am not as well versed in the Bible as I would like to be and this story, even though not new to me, was needing a refresher. So, I was grateful that the bookmark which came with my copy of the book and the back of the cover of the book gave reference to the particular scriptures and verses in the Bible that I needed to re-read for background. The parts I remembered of the story was Joshua leading the Israelite people to the Promised Land/Canaan while eating manna in the desert along the way and the Battle of Jericho where the wall came down with the sound of trumpets from the army. I didn't remember the story of the Gibeonites very well and so I am glad I read Joshua 9 and 10 before reading Shepherd, Potter, Spy--and the Star Namer by Peggy Consolver.

There are some neat extras to go along with this book. At the end there is a letter from the author to readers about digging deeper and learning more and some discussion questions for small groups. There is also a Study Guide webpage of extras, including: links of things to read, videos to watch, and maps to look at. I loved learning about bow making and Israeli Mammals. The more in depth 48 page Study Guide, Digging Deeper into HIStory, is also available online to purchase separately. A small glimpse of it is available to download free from the webpage as well.

I enjoyed reading the book and it definitely opened my eyes to what it may have been like for the Gibeonites. The main character, Keshub, was very interesting to read about and learn of his way of life, family, friends, and things he learned along the way while growing in his faith and becoming a man.  I loved the imagery of the text. My mind's eye was flooded with what it might have looked like. This book has historical and scriptural fact, supported by archeological evidence & research integrated with artistic vision and ingenuity that breathes life into the text. It takes you on a great adventure back in time and builds your understanding of Bible history and geography. I highly recommend this book!
