South Carolina is the first state we will learn about. We are going to learn about one state per week. We're going to do a lot of our learning through reader's, fun books about each state, and art and crafts. We will learn some of the state's history, landmarks, rivers, capital, attractions, and the different cultures. We will also learn about it's location and pinpoint places on a map. I think the girls will enjoy making their own outline maps and adding to them as we learn about the states. This will also help us learn about the United States as a whole. I Can't wait to show off their state map art!
I am a married, South Carolina homeschooling mama to 3 of my 4 girls. I'll be honest; they drive me NUTS sometimes. But, I am here to tell you that I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! I'm not your typical homeschool mom. I am not an over-achieving Martha Stewart. I am just a plain, everyday, laid back, patient person. I occasionally slip up a cuss word when I step on Legos, and I mean every word of it. I partake in adult beverages whenever my BFF, a former homeschooler with her MSN who landed an awesome job as a college nursing instructor, can get away so we can reminisce about the good old days. Where most moms can relate, I love my children. Homeschooling has been a blessing for my family, and I am so thankful that I have been able to continue into a second year.
