I had gone back and forth about the history issue and after prayer and discussion with my husband, we decided that historical biographies are the way to go for our kids at this age. GTG lists a lot of wonderful biographies! This decision was confirmed after just a few weeks of reading aloud the fascinating GTG-recommended biographies.

A geography unit study for young learners grades K-4.

With \u003cem\u003eGalloping the Globe\u003c\/em\u003e, the focus is more on the geography. This approach will captivate your children and create a love for geography!. Subjects included in this unit study are Geography, Bible, history, science, literature, and vocabulary. Maps and flags, reproducibles, puzzles, games, and craft ideas are also included! I highly recommend this!!!! The additional books needed include: Considering God's Creation, My Father's World (Rod and Staff), and some others. A great way to incorporate a number of great resources in your studies while teaching children of multiple ages. Many of the literature books suggested, if not all, listed can be found at your local library. Great recipe ideas, crafts, outline maps, flags to color, and much more are included!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-who\"\u003eChristian Character Matters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-text\"\u003e\"This is our 2nd year using \u003cem\u003eGalloping the Globe\u003c\/em\u003e and the lapbook that goes with it.
