I have been teaching geography for years in my own homeschool curriculum through unit studies. I greatly enjoy bringing art, music, science, geography, math, social studies and language arts into a lesson that is fun and engaging. I also love learning about different cultures and trying out different traditional recipes. I have learned that through native stories, food, and music, students can connect personally with a country, engaging their curiosity to learn even more about it.Reviews
