Geography serves as a launchpad to a deep understanding of the world in which we live. In this book, our students learn where different states are and the capitals that govern them. Alongside this, students learn the history that shaped our country since the Jamestown and Plymouth colonies. How many other nations fought and died over this land that America prevailed in governing. They learn about landmark decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court and the bravery of some to dream and inspire others to change hearts towards fairness and unity. Students will look at the plight of the Native Americans and how they lived, and their journey after Europeans came to this land. Throughout the book, ecology will be taught through topography, plants, animals, and man's influence over the earth, for good or ill. It is fantastic information that, as educators, we have the unique and awesome responsibility to make it come alive for our student's sake.

The classical method in learning has so much to do with repetition, intensity, and duration. However, this process doesn't have to be daunting or terrible for our students. We can walk through learning together, discovering together, have fun imagining what it would be like to be there, and experience that together

My heart's desire is that, within this book, you will find the right tools for your classroom or family to launch into a remarkable discovery of the United States. And hopefully, stepping through this method with a bit of creativity and discussion will make the geography come alive And in the end, if they have the locations memorized, bonus But first and foremost, have fun with discovery

Subjects within the book are repeated many times over, such as the Louisiana Purchase, Reconstruction of the Southern States after the Civil War, and various wars. This is an opportunity as an educator to teach these historical events over and over from a state and physical entity perspective. If you find that your child reports that they "already know this" then it is optimal to utilize this as a catalyst for oral quizzes as you go through the text as well as dialectic conversation.
