The Let's Go Geography​ Year 2 is scheduled to release August 19, and it's bigger and better than ever!
So what's new?!
First, Year 2 starts with a lesson on the 7 Continents. Not only is it a great overview of the globe, but the Craft activity is to ​cut-&-color cool dividers for each continent so kids ​will have them for the year's Travel Journal (aka, Geography Binder).
The schedule has been re-worked, too, eliminating Break Weeks. Which leads to this side-note about those (feel free to skip the next 2 paragraphs if ​it's TMI!) --
​Why the Break Weeks anyway? Well, originally the curriculum was created to auto-deliver each week, which meant holidays were a problem. If someone started Dec. 1, they could be emailed a lesson right at the height of Christmas. So the Break Weeks allowed catch-up days.
Now that you can download lessons whenever you want, the Break Weeks aren't necessary. But to revise that part of Year 1 would be....pretty awful. Like torture, really. So they stay there, and are gone ​the following years.
But I digress. Back to our topic.
​Each Year 2 lesson now points you to the theme country in our favorite atlas, Geography of the World. This is especially helpful ​for those with older students.
Speaking of which, ​another NEW bonus this year is a second Notebooking Page with narrower lines. Again, a little something more for older kids​.
​Add to that, there is an a​nother plus with the videos. All videos that allow it are routed through SafeYouTube.net. The original YouTube URL is included ​just in case, but the SafeYouTube is linked. Just another precaution for kids on the good ol' internet!
Overall, there are more videos linked in general, and a few more photos, too.
​Put it all together, and Year 2 is a winner!
So what are we waiting for?!! Well, just a few more weeks of prep work. As it stands right now, Semester 1 is ​scheduled to deliver ​on August 19. Semester 2 ​will follow ​on ​October 28. ​
​​Since the ​full year ​is coming in stages, Memberships will be available on a Semester basis. It's all good. Just a few more weeks! ​
