❡ States, countries, & world treasures: These Homeschool Geography lessons includes two special series: our Sunday States & Countries posts that take you on an annual homeschool tour the U.S. states and the nations of the world, and our Weekly American Heritage posts that invite you to visit a different American national park, memorial, or historic site every week. Follow either one of these miniature curricula for just a few minutes each week with a standard atlas and almanac and you’ll enrich your students’ understanding of geography and history all through the year.
❡ World Heritage Sites: In previous years we have also explored World Heritage Sites around the globe, and last year's World Heritage posts will remain below at the end of this archive for homeschoolers who would like to review them again. 🌎
