No More Boring Schoolwork!
Journey Through the USA will change how you see social studies!
As a former social studies teacher, do you know what people said most often about my job? "Oh...social studies is boring!" Do you know what? Most of the time they were right. Not because the subject itself is boring. Social studies explains why we do the things we do and thing the things we think. It's infinitely interesting!
No, social studies isn't boring, but the way it's taught usually makes it that way! I thought things would be different when I started homeschooling my kids, but I found most curriculum options pretty much the same. Textbooks, tests, and loads of busywork seemed to be all anyone had to offer. I knew there was a better way, so I designed Journey Through the USA!
When you buy Journey Through the USA you'll get to spend a year exploring the unique cultures across our country.

Living Books Not Textbooks
Living books are these magical unicorns that will actually make your child want to learn more. That's why Journey Through the USA uses living books with open-ended journal questions instead of textbooks with basic chapter questions.
Real Communication
Skills
In Journey Through the USA kids will interview someone during each unit. This means they get real practice at communicating their thoughts to others and understanding what they are saying (which will be pretty important when they grow up).
Interesting Projects
Each unit has an interesting project to complete. Instead of boring essays and book reports your child will be doing things like adopting the persona of a colonist, making an authentic southwestern meal, and planning a garden.
