Would you like your learner to be introduced to the world?  In this weekly introduction to world geography learners are introduced to world first with the globe, next with continents and then with our country of the week, along with the capital city, the flag, the language(s).  We'll learn how to say "hello" in our country, talk about the animals that live there, famous landmarks and interesting places to visit, fun things to do, delicious foods to eat and sometimes cultural events! This beginning geography class introduces aspects of both human and physical geography. 

In each class students will ALSO review:
spelling 
practice skip counting
counting syllables
reading & sounding out country names (learning vowel & consonant blends)
review colors

Shhh ... don't tell them they're LEARNING and HAVING FUN! :) Each week, as students "visit" a new country, they will gain a stamp for their very own passport along with a map and weekly coloring sheet with letter practice!  After class students can review the follow up post in the classroom which includes website links, videos and sometimes worksheets and activities!
