Mailbag: Online Resource for Learning Geography

Mailbag Mondays - Our answers to readers' questions

Hi, there.

I hope I’m not being a bother, but my daughter, Dakota, wanted to reach out to you about your Choosing Curriculum page. It has links that we were able to explore and bookmark for our geography project. 🙂

During the school year, Dakota and I like to do fun mother/daughter projects. This is a great way to help her brush up on her social studies as well. 😉 Anywho! While googling for some more resources, my daughter found this geography resource. She was thinking that it’d be a valuable resource for your page. Do you mind adding it? I know she’d be delighted to make a valuable contribution, and maybe other kids will find it useful, too. 🙂

Looking forward to hearing back,
Mrs. Lowe

Dear Mrs. Lowe.

Please tell Dakota thank you for thinking of me. I appreciate her desire to make the website more useful to my readers!

I had never heard of Road Trip Geography before, but I tried it out after receiving your letter and agree that it deserves a place on my Choosing Curriculum page.

I love finding great online resources like this, full of free learning activities and printables. Some of the games are similar to the ones you’ll find on Sheppard Software (such as the US Map Quiz Game), but others are totally unique from anything I’ve seen before (like the printable Travel Book). These activities provide a fun way to augment your child’s geography studies.

So… I added the link you submitted to the Geography section of my recommended curriculum, right alongside some of our other favorite geography resources that have stood the test, including the following:

  • US States and Capitals Songs
    Eight very catchy songs that teach all the States and Capitals of the US in such a way (northern border, southern border, eastern border, and central states) that kids who learn the state names can easily identify them on a unlabeled map, as well. We pack this tape in the car for listening/ reviewing US geography on long road trips.
  • Sing Around the World
    This volume of geography songs covers continents and oceans, plus all the countries of each geographical region. The tunes are fun and make learning easy.
  • Maps, Charts and Graphs
    These workbooks teach map reading skills in a way my kids really enjoy. We’ve only used selected volumes, but I have a couple of boys who’d likely finish the entire set before it’s all said and done.

These kids helped me put together 25 freezer meals These kids helped me put together 25 freezer meals, so I won’t need to think about dinner again until late February.  I’m grateful to have such enthusiastic and cheerful kitchen helpers. Don’t be fooled by Dan’s tears. 😭 Those were  all the onions’ fault.  #onceamonthcooking #stockthefreezer #hardworkers

I got this set of Junior Rainbow Pebbles thinking I got this set of Junior Rainbow Pebbles thinking my grandkids would like them (and they do!). What I didn’t expect was the enthusiasm with which my big kids joined in on the play.  I think that’s just one more benefit of having a large family: The older ones play alongside their younger siblings and thus continue to enjoy the simple pleasures of childhood long after they might otherwise have been abandoned.  Which is a good thing. Both age groups benefit from such interactions.  #largefamilyliving

I’ve published lots of prayer guides on my websi I’ve published lots of prayer guides on my website aimed at praying for your children, whether they be in the womb, very young, teens, or adults. But I hadn’t thought to publish a prayer for parents until a young reader wrote to ask if I offered one. She knew her parents were using my printable while praying for her and wanted to return the favor. Isn’t that precious?  #godanswersprayers #prayforoneanother #praywithoutceasing
We made it all the way to church last week before We made it all the way to church last week before I realized we’d all unintentionally dressed in red, white, and blue. ❤️🤍💙  I love it when we coordinate like that without any forethought. We normally only wear matching clothes when we’re traveling and Mom’s done the packing.  Putting everyone in the same color scheme helps us count heads faster (and makes for prettier vacation photos, too)!  #colorcoordinated #familyphotos #sundayworship

Let the turmoil in our country be, first and foremost, a call to prayer. To reaffirming our faith in God. To loving our neighbors, even when we disagree with them. To standing tenaciously on upon what we KNOW to be true — God’s Word — while expressing our opinions with grace and humility.  “Lord, send a revival, and let it begin in me!”  #saltandlight #calltoprayer #lightinthedarkness #standfirm
