This year, our family is studying the 50 states in the order in which they joined the Union.  We may not make it through them all in one year, because I am not one to rush learning.  The unit studies that I create for my kids cover all of the required subjects except for math and grammar.  I have found that tying all the subjects into what you are learning helps children retain information better and get more involved in the learning process.  I also believe in combining all five of our senses into their learning.  Therefore there will be visual, audio, foods to taste and smell, and lots of hands-on experiences with each lesson.  Due to COVID 19, I am trying to pick some books that are on YouTube, in case you can't check them out
