Some families may already have these books or wish to use the library copy which is why we didn't build them into the class cost.

Classes all include 3 days worth of homework and/or enrichment activities per

All classes draw on materials from several sources and should likely be titled
"geography and more" and similar titles since we strive to pull in cross
curricular resources.
Additional 9 week long sessions will follow as we complete a 36 week homeschool year in these subjects.
