Ann VosKamp Geography books: Where do these fit chronologically?

[Rebecca]

I am really intrigued by these books but am not sure where to fit them?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rebecca

I don't think they really do fit chronologically, well, they are current times I guess. :) I'm thinking about doing the Earth one over the summer for Earth science, b/c we didn't do any this year. The Holy Land, I think, would just be a fun extra you could use at any time. It would fit in with any Bible curriculum. Just my 2 cents!

If you really wanted it tied to history
the Holy Land one; ancients the Geology/Geography one is earth study not cultural

but they are not really historical

Thank you!
That helps a lot.

Do you have any opinions on these?

have you read her blog http://holyexperience.blogspot.com/ it will give you a taste for her writing stlye and heart. Also there is another site for users the geography curr. There is a link off the preceeding site --don't really know what is there, though. We used the first one and enjoyed it. Kids love the notebooks they put together (I did my own thing, using this as one of our sources). Nice, solid earth science survey--believe there are samples there, too. Nice copywork passages included in her book as well, as well as ideas for further study. WE did a lot more than her book becasuse "I" wanted to---don't know that you would need to, depending on your student levels. The earth science topics are not exhaustive in this book, but if you are using it for young ones, you really don't need to cover it "all" hth some

I am planning to use The Holy Land as a geography/cultural compliment when we study the ancients.

I used The Earth geography one this year as part of our science reading.

Lovely books.
