Here’s a peek into the Global Explorers Weekly R

Here’s a peek into the Global Explorers Weekly Routine we use to guide us through each country study. Our themed days help us prioritize different subjects each day. We typically spend 2-4 weeks exploring each country, giving us plenty of opportunity to dive deep, follow some rabbit trails, and enjoy every moment of our journey together.

🌍 Map It Monday – We start the week by introducing a new country. First, we dive into its geography, work on our maps, and explore different books and resources to become familiar with our new destination. In subsequent weeks, we’ll add to our maps as we continue to explore the country’s landscapes, culture, and history.

📖 Folk Tale Tuesday – Time for stories! We listen to the selected folktale, work on writing exercises, and snuggle up with books about the country we’re exploring.

🌿 Wild Wednesday – It’s science and nature day! We look into the wildlife, natural wonders, and science activities connected to our country of the week.

🎨 Thoughtful Thursday – It’s time to get creative! From local crafts to exploring traditional art and music, today is all about cultivating curiosity and creativity.

🎉 Fun & Games Friday – We wrap up our week with games, crafts, and cooking activities inspired by our studies. Friday’s also a good time to wrap up any projects that may have been started earlier in the week.

Each day offers a little something different to keep our learning fun and engaging — and the best part is that you can easily adapt the Global Explorers geography homeschool curriculum to fit your family’s unique rhythm.

Our Notion curriculum database is completely customizable. Whether you want to adjust lesson plans, track progress, or organize resources, it’s flexible design makes it easy to create a personalized educational experience that works for your children.

Halloween has definitely snuck up on us this year.

We’ve started our study of East Africa with the country of Tanzania. This week we’ll read several Tanzanian children’s books, including Elizabeti’s Doll; Babu’s Song; My Rows and Piles of Coins; and The Banana-Leaf Ball: How Play Can Change the World. We’ll discuss the virtue of helpfulness, listen to an East African folk tale, Three Little Critters, and explore some of Tanzania’s most iconic landmarks — Mount Kilimanjaro, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti National Park. The girls will get hands-on by crafting rock dolls and designing their own kanga. We’ll also sip on tea masala as we continue our study of the African rainforest, investigating chimpanzee behavior and the Linnaean classification system. #tanzaniaunitstudy #homeschoolfun #handsonlearning

Here’s a look at the picture books we read during our study of Ghana. 🇬🇭 My kids loved all the Anansi tales, learning about Kente cloth, and marveled at the art of El Anatsui.

Folk Tale Tuesday has become one of our favorite traditions in our homeschool. 📖

Every Tuesday we gather round our coffee table with an assortment of snacks and coloring pencils and listen to a selected folk tale from @circleroundpodcast while coloring the corresponding coloring sheet they make available for free. ☕️ 🍪

Afterwards, we discuss the folk tale and then complete some writing exercises together. ✏️

If you’d like to give our tradition a try, check out the latest blog post for more details. There, you’ll also be able to download a couple free TWR sentence strategy sheets for two folk tales from Ghana: ‘The Perfect Partnership’ and ‘Leopard’s Rhythm’. 🇬🇭

After a brief introductory unit to Africa last wee

After a brief introductory unit to Africa last week, we’re ready to delve back into our country studies this semester, starting with Ghana.

Today we read a little about the country of Ghana and its flag, learned about Kente cloth, read some Anansi stories, and played a couple circle games and learned to sing the songs Obwisana and Sansa Kroma.

I’m so excited about some of the resources we’ll be using as we explore Africa, and I can’t wait to share more about them in upcoming posts. 📚 🎶 🥘

Anyone else studying Africa this school year? If so, I’d love to connect! 🌍

The Global Explorers Club is a family-style "Around the World" homeschooling program that aims to foster a love of learning and curiosity through Montessori-inspired continent studies.⁣
⁣
Each continent study provides a rich and engaging way for children to explore the world and develop a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of people and places.⁣
⁣
Most importantly, an online and completely flexible unit planner for each continent helps you stay organized, freeing up more of your time to enjoy the adventure alongside your children.

⭐️ The Global Explorers Resource Library ⭐️

Members of the Global Explorers Club now have exclusive access to the all-new Resource Library! There, you’ll find free supplemental materials for each continent curriculum bundle.

Rather than issuing updates to the original files each time a new resource is made available, they will now be uploaded to the Resource Library. Hopefully this makes new materials more convenient and accessible for you.

Be sure to check the Global Explorers Resource Library frequently as new materials are being added regularly.

Please reach out to me if you have any additional questions, comments, or suggestions! May you continue to have joyful learning adventures with your family as you discover the world together!
