Hello!
When I purchase the download, is there a release so that I can get it printed at Staples or Office Depot, etc? My husband is getting sick of me printing things on his office color printer, and I’m tired of things existing only on my computer, lol.
Hi Erica!
This looks fantastic, excited to do this with my kids!
I would not be able to print this, and would need to take it to UPS or somewhere to have them print it out for me. They’ve asked about copyrighting of the CD. My question is would I be able to take the CD somewhere to have it printed for me or would there be a copyright issue?
Thanks!
I want to tell you how much of an encouragement you have been to me on this homeschooling journey!! I appreciate you and all of the videos so much! It has made a huge difference for us.
Keep it up! :)))

Hi Heather, you’re welcome to take it to a place to have them printed. If you email me I can send you a print authorization form to take with you if they need it.
I am ordering this curriculum for next year. I was wondering if it is all black and white or does it have color items also?
The student notebook is mostly black and white, however there are a couple of color pages in there for the state mini-books. The TM is mostly black and white as well, with some colored pages for flashcards, etc. in the appendix. But you can print it all B/W if you prefer.
I haven’t seen anywhere with the cost and I was going to try seeing at purchase but I can’t seem to get there either…please help!
My husband and I travel full time in a motorhome. Our grandsons are turning 4 and 2 next month. We thought we’d send them post cards from places we visit like a State Capital. We want to incorporate more to make it a geography learning experience as well. As they grow older, we plan to take them on road trips. This looks good but we are looking at it from a different angle. Suggestions?
I think this sounds like a super fun grandparent idea! You could totally print them out some of the copies from each state to send along with the postcard. Bet sometimes you could send the recipe & other times maybe send the cookies (assuming one lesson in 50 states has cookies😉) you get my idea though. Bet welcome centers would have brochures to include, & souvenir flags, seeds etc would go great too. You could send “scrapbook” like pages with decorated pics of you & your husband too. Hobby lobby & michaels have ton of fun stickers that would make it simple, but with lots of wow factor for young kids. …Love love love! Hope you followed through, or will at least consider it again! 😁
Hello,
If I travel a lot and don’t have a set schedule when I do school with my daughter. Do you think it would be better to order the CD over the Download for me? I read something about you have to download links by a certain date, otherwise the expire by 7 days.
Please let me know.
Thank you,
Carina
HI. I’m currently homeschooling my little guy who is going into 1st grade. He’s struggling with reading and writing right now. I was wondering if this curriculum would work for him or if I should wait to start it later when he’s writing and reading.
Hi Sheri,
You may want to start with Expedition Earth, it has less a lot of fun activities, crafts, and recipes with some writing but not a ton. The Road Trip USA has those as sell, but also has more memorization and writing than the EE curriculum.
Is there a way to purchase individual states?
Hi Tiffany,
I’m sorry I don’t currently sell the states individually.
My school purchased this 2 years ago but we just have a hard copy. In that copy there all kinds of blue (which I am assuming are links) words. Is there a way to access these links?
Hi Anne,
If you send me an email I can look into your order and see if we can re-set your downloads.
Hi. This is our first year homeschooling. My 7th grader has had very limited history from the public school system we are coming from. Do you think I could use this for her and my 3rd grader to teach them together? Also, is the CD content the exact same as the downloaded version? I wanted to be able to print off a little at a time as needed instead of all at once. Thank you.
Hi Robin,
Yes you could use it, since your student is a bit on the older end I would definitely suggest adding in the state quizzes and reports for extra work. Yes, the CD and download content are the same, just a different delivery method. Either way you can print the pages as you go.
