Europe, our second connecting continents unit, is one of our most popular units in the series. Learn about famous composers, people, and events that have shaped our world today. From history to geography to scientific discoveries, your adventure through Europe is the perfect way to continue your world schooling experience!
While it has a focus on geography, history, and social studies, Europe covers all your subjects but math—connecting people and places to the world of science and tying in LA in the process. Your writing project for this unit is writing postcards, even including the Gather 'Round Head Office address for you to send cards to! The perfect way to get your kids excited about writing!
What to buy? You can purchase a leveled bundle with one student notebook of your choice and the Teacher's Guide, or the full family bundle that includes all levels with the Teacher's Guide. If you have more than one child you are buying for, it is more economical to get the full bundle to re-use in the future with your kids at older levels. All digital bundles come as an instant download in PDF format for you to print at home.
How long are units designed to last? Each unit is designed to be 4-5 weeks. Our main units and most of our mini units include 20 lessons and can be done as a 4-day school week (lasting 5 weeks) or a 5-day school week (lasting 4 weeks) to offer flexibility. You're in control! Set a schedule that works best for your family and your pace will dictate how quickly you complete any given unit.
