Hi! Future Ticia 2022 here, the kids and I are about to study Georgia again, because not too surprisingly they don’t really remember what they studied when they were 6. So, I’m looking at our Gerogia Unit and realizing I need to add a whole lot of information in, and organize this unit a bit better. It was a great geography lesson and I’m happy to see so many cool ideas from when we first studied it.
Georgia Unit resources
This is where Future Ticia 2022 saw I needed more information. Why did we study pirates? Why did we learn about peanuts? I have so many questions, so I went back and looked at what we did and figured out why.
And if you want to torture your older kids, you should share the Homeschool Pop Georgia video.
This is only slightly better because it doesn’t repeat all fo the facts over and over again, but still clearly geared for younger kids.
- Coke library pocket– on the outside is glued an ad from Coke in the inside (in theory, this particular boy’s has walked off) is the ad the kid designed.
- Trail of Tears– The kids loved making this flower
- State symbols-Another honey bee for state insect. The other thing that interested me is the marine animal. The Right Whale, so called because of whalers.
- Peanut butter printable (scroll down the page, it’s one of the images about halfway down or so, I copied the image and pasted into Word)
- Peanut activity– a great excuse to eat lots of peanuts.
- I have a Dream– someday my kids will dream a dream they can achieve, or that I can achieve. I really have no clue how I’m going to make a working Iron Man costume for Batman.
- Jolly Roger– from homeschool share scroll down to the bottom (no blog post on this because well, it wasn’t really interesting and we didn’t do all the fun stuff due to lack of time during our meeting). I also just saw a cute post over at Fantastic Five on pirates she used a preschool pack from Homeschool Creations…… So, lots of options for this one.
- Honey bee– nothing really to say…….
Incidentally, Superman says this is his book I took a picture of. I think it’s Batman’s. But, now I’m off to go play Monopoly Jr…… Joy! Be back in a few
Looks great. When we were in Florida, I met a woman from Atlanta who told us that this year is a huge anniversary for Coke (can't remember how many years) and that there was a big celebration in GA that they were going home for.
It does look great! Honey bees are pretty amazing, no wonder they have made it as the state insect more than once!
I love the variety of things that you investigated!
No peaches?
Sadly, no. I just didn't find a good book about them. I found a rather long nonfiction book, but didn't want to push the whole thing too much.
Wow! Lots of fun stuff going on for Georgia! M is allergic to peanuts but that printable about how peanut butter is made is cool. We have a video from Little Hard Hats that is about farms, and it has a section all about making peanut butter too. It's interesting.
Isn't it neat how many things you can learn about the different states! Some things are similar, yes, like the honey bees, but there are so many interesting bits of information 🙂
I need to start doing more geography at home. Thanks for all the links. Part of our road trip with Nana this summer will be through Georgia. Right now, I know we're planning to visit the aquarium, Andersonville, and Plains, Georgia- Carter's birthplace.

This scrap page looks so good – and perfectly age-appropriate too! I am sure they will love looking through this journal later.
These Geography/History studies I've been seeing with this carnival have been GREAT! Perhaps next year for us! Where do you get your scrapbooks? Thanks for stopping in my blog and commenting earlier! We're STILL anxiously awaiting our chicks – hopefully today or tomorrow!

The scrapbook is actually one I made using our biding machine: https://adventuresofmommyness.blogspot.com/2011/03/oh-binding-machine-how-i-love-thee.html
