WARM UP
If you are a busy homeschooling family (and who isn’t?), Daily Geography is a terrific way to introduce basic geography skills in just a few minutes each homeschool day.
The layout of Daily Geography is easy to follow. Each weekly unit focuses on a geography concept. The student pages have just a couple of questions to answer each day.
It is a quick and easy way to consistently teach geography skills in your homeschooling.
