Today marks our final stop for our geography journeys this year–the United States!
As always, during our geography studies we learned about the landscape of the country, its food, and even some of its history. However, since we had spent so much time studying the United States last year you may not see all the resources we would normally include an initial exploration of the United States.
That said, below is our list of resources we used to learn more about this week’s geographical region. May these fun resources help your study of the United States come alive too!
Come learn about USA's history and landscape in these fun-filled geography lessons!Click To TweetEngaging Geography Resources for the Study of the United States
