Geography:
Take 2 students will be learning about the United States’ journey to become a unified nation. Our 50 States is a one-year American geography course from Notgrass History. As they study Our 50 States, students will complete their own consumable Atlas Workbook (included in tuition). For each state, they will illustrate one geographic term that relates to that state and will also complete map activities to reinforce what they have learned about that state. There will also be a few week study on New York’s history, thus fulfilling NY State’s requirement for homeschoolers. Students will use the information that they have learned to create and present travel brochures, state projects, and more to the group during public speaking exercises.
