In addition to the printables
that can be used for any
country study, I make
additional sheets for specific
countries ~ mapping activities
and flag notebooking sheets
{and sometimes more!}.

Our studies of North America include units on the
following countries:
- Canada
- Mexico
- United States
Below I have included links to the printables for each
country as well as links for our favorite books and
resources, along with blog posts that provide our
weekly study schedule and some great websites to
help you in your study of that country.
Canada spans more than half of the Northern Hemisphere and is the second
largest country in the world. It also has the world’s longest coastline ~ there
are oceans on three sides. Canada’s lakes and rivers make up about 20% of
the world’s fresh water.
The population of Canada is less than half a percent of the world’s
population. The majority of Canada’s people live in the southern part of
Canada and the largest cities are Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. Canada’
s two official languages are French and English.

Our first stop in our study of North America was Mexico. Mexico is three
times the size of Texas and is south of the United States. The Rio Grande,
the longest river in Mexico, forms the border between the US and Mexico.
Mexico has a variety of plant and animal life and also a variety of
environments: desert, rainforest, wetlands, and mountains. Most of the
country’s population are mestizos, people of mixed Spanish and Indian
origins. During our studies we learned about the history of Mexico, tried to
speak a little Spanish, did a little online sightseeing, and finished up with a
yummy recipe {and one we’ll have to make again!!}.

The United States was the last country that we studied in our two year
History in the upcoming year, we just did a general study to get the basics
in ~ because really, there is SO much you could do!
The United States is the third largest country in the world and located on
the continent of North America. There are six different regions in the US:
New England, the mid-Atlantic, the South, the Midwest, Southwest, and the
West.
