About Me

My Photo
A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little. In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005. This is by far the hardest job I've ever loved. My husband of nearly 20 years supports us as a fire fighter and EMT.

Study Helps: Understanding Latin America

I found some vintage World Book Encyclopedias at Google Books with illustrations of maps and local culture, useful study helps for our Rod & Staff's sixth grade Understanding Latin America book. Much of the background information is still usable as well, especially geographical and historical. We found it useful to read about where they've been(including perceptions), and compare it to where they are now with the textbook.

We used this image(below) as the cover page for notes on Argentina.
