I love geography and I love Evan-Moor! In this post, you will find a review of two different geography books from Evan-Moor. The first I used with my 2nd grader {Beginning Geography} and the next I used with my 5th grader {Daily Geography Practice}

Beginning Geography K-2
As you may have seen in our 2nd and 5th grade curriculum choices posts, we are giving Evan-Moor Geography books a try! We had great results using Evan-Moor Science books last year and I decided to simplify geography this year.
When I bought the Beginning Geography book I wasn’t completely certain about my choice, but as I began planning I was excited about my choice. Now that we are 3 weeks in, I am confident this was a good choice for her this year! It is low-prep {mostly no-prep}, simple, engaging and educational. We did a much more high-prep geography last year with our study of the United States and other countries so I wanted to change things up this year. This workbook is a perfect fit!
Daily Geography Practice 5th Grade
Once I realized I loved her book I began looking at what Evan-Moor had for 5th grade and stumbled upon the book we are using. The 5th grade book has proven to be a great fit! My video below explains more about why I love this book for my 5th grader. It also is low-prep, simple, and educational. I won’t say he is quite as enthusiastic about his book but most 5th grade books aren’t nearly as exciting as 2nd-grade workbooks!
A video peek inside…
Sometimes it is easier for me to show you, so I made a video sharing our yearly planning guide and a peek inside of each book.
As I mention in the video, I created year-at-a-glance plans for each of these books. I like to see what the year will look like and keep a master record of where we are at. I build my weekly lesson plans {I only plan one week at a time} off of these master plans. You are welcome to download my plans if you are using these same books!
