In geography, the child learns the continents and the countries within them. The people found in these countries, their flags and customs make up a large part of the curriculum. Various land and water masses and their appropriate terms are studied.
The more easily available a globe and map is to a child, the more often it will be referred to and the more geography will be learned in a very simple and enjoyable way. In providing experiences for the child we move from the general view to the specific—from the whole earth to continents to countries to counties, then towns and neighborhoods.
