Where We Live A Home Geography

"Where We Live" by Emilie Van Beil Jacobs is a textbook that introduces young students to geography by first examining their immediate surroundings, then gradually expanding to an understanding of the whole world. Starting with elements of school, neighborhood, people, and local industries, it promotes hands-on learning by encouraging kids to participate in their environment: streets, buildings, and nature. Later parts explore larger topics, like Earth, weather, regions, and countries in North America, using maps to highlight transport, industry, local resources, and interactions across the globe.
