[…] Geography– So I’ve graduated four kids and have three still in school.  Geography used to be a real challenge to adequately fit into my kids’ brains.  Sure, there’s the a geography course every so many years in school, and it is incorporated some into history texts, but I really wanted more for my kids in this field because I.am.terrible.at.geography and I don’t want them to share my feebleness!  That’s when I discovered crossseven.org!  It is wonderful for a lot of reasons, but for this post I’m only going to talk about the geographical reason why I love this website!  Cross Seven offers these very short learning videos that are catchy little jingles about different valuable academic facts.  I’ve used this website for the past five years nearly year round and am always amazed at how much my kids learn from it.  Now once they reach middle school they do start to feel that they’re kind of outgrowing most of the little learning songs, but they still like the geography jingles throughout high school.  The geography videos will show a map of an area and use a song to teach the geographical sites on the map. Oh, my, my kids have learned so much geography this way!  They look forward to using it every day and it is zero work for me while they learn this information!  This is not a free website but it is very inexpensive, $3.97/ month with no contract commitment and for that price you actually get learning jingles in many categories: math, science, history, grammar, Bible, Latin, hymns, and geography.  We use all of these categories until somewhere in middle school and then they just continue with geography. (If you use my link to register, I do get a small referral commission, and I wouldn’t refer you to this website if I didn’t use it and love it for my family.  Here’s my referral link to http://www.crossseven.org […]
