I spent part of my childhood overseas, so have been fascinated by geography and travel from a very young age. It should come as no surprise then that one of the many blogs I follow is the wonderful
National Geographic Education Blog. A few days ago, they unveiled a program to help families and educators prepare for summer. From creating a family tree to constructing a compost pile, National Geographic has put together a host of cool projects.
