Want to travel across the USA to visit all 50 states and 5 territories? We used to do this very thing during our roadschooling life, but (thank you, 'rona) life is a little more virtual these days. In God Bless the USA, we get to visit beautiful parks, historic landmarks, bustling cities, and quaint towns as we discover our vast country....
This geography adventure introduces students to rivers, oceans, lakes, forests, mountains, caves, and other landforms. They discover cities, highways, companies, churches, museums, as they map, research, draw, and travel from state to state.

God Bless the USA - Exploring States & Territories
This is the spine text to the curriculum -- the one you will definitely need! After an introduction to the entire country, the spine text breaks the states down by region. Some curricula studying the states alphabetically, but I find that it helps the kids to better internalize the geographic concepts when they are studied by region.
- Overview of Region
- List of States (or territories) in Region
- Map of USA—student colors in region
- Regional Resources
- Regional Climate
- Regional Culture/Food
- Regional Blank Outline Map
- Mapping geographic concepts
- State Facts
- Highlights from Each State
- Climate & Physical Geography
- Business & Farming

God Bless the USA State Sorting Mats
For the littles in your life, these sorting mats are a great way to practice cutting and pasting. Fifty-five sorting mats are included, each covering state flag, seal, stamp, quarter, abbreviation, and the state name. Print on cardstock and laminate for extended life! As an aside, you can use these in a game format with older kids, too...just mix up all the pieces and let them sort and match.Who would like this?
