How to Teach Geography at Home | PLUS my Favorite Resources and Books
Geography is such a fascinating subject to learn about, yet it’s a difficult subject to teach -
Which topics fall under geography and how do I teach it? Which resources should I use? How did Charlotte Mason teach it? And why should I evens teach it in the first place?
In this video, I answer all those questions and show you how I teach geography at home to my three boys using Charlotte Mason’s principles and methods. And, of course, I share all my favorite books and resources to help you begin teaching geography at home!
Want to see how geography lessons are taught with different ages? In my Patreon membership this month I’ll share lessons and other resources to help you master geography!

Boost Brain Power Through Play | Scientifically Proven Activities For Learning and Attention

Movement and play helps more than just the body - research is showing that it also improves cognitive function.
