Maps!! Maps!! Maps!!


One of the things I love about homeschool this year is the emphasis we are putting on map work. Many of our books this year in Sonlight are focusing on world cultures. To deepen Joshua's knowledge of these cultures we are spending a lot of time studying our globe. Every week I give him about 20 new locations to find on his globe. He LOVES map work. It is so amazing to watch his knowledge of the world grow. Here are some locations that Joshua is now able to find on his globe...
