Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Hi Gals ,
This fall I am gearing up for our geography study . I am hoping to focus on central and south america following Bernie's Travels we love his blog and I was thinking if we started from the beginning and follow it through it 'd be a great study .
Books on food , culture , religion etc. making crafts . Map study of course
So we have here ds8 & ds13 and grandson 3yo every now and then .
If you've got any favs from your studies for these age groups I'd love to hear from you . I'm trying to put together book lists now . We will not start unschool until mid-late sept. that sounds like a contradiction
I am hopeful you all will have some great input
Thanks a bunch , Rox

I just happened to see this list for a South American unit study on my friend's blog the other day.

And, Serendipity is going around the world, but I think it will probably be awhile before we get to South America.

And here are a few books that Homeschool Share has on South America.
