Globe Trotters (1st-3rd)

Come travel the globe with us as we explore world geography through engaging children’s books! Through children's literature, students in grades 1–3 will discover countries across each continent, learning about their culture, food, flags, language, art, wildlife, and more.
In December, we’ll take a special look at Christmas traditions celebrated around the world. Students will create a keepsake journal to record the countries they visit and the fascinating things they learn along the way. This fun, interactive class sparks curiosity, inspires creativity, and makes learning about the world an adventure!
Homework will be assigned according to each student’s grade level. Please be sure to note the textbook that corresponds to your student’s grade.

ABOUT THE TEACHER

Stephanie York

B.S. in Psychology and Masters in Education

Stephanie is a native of Chesterfield County. She attended VCU and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Education. Throughout her college career, she worked with children in a local daycare and summer camp programs. Following graduation, she taught elementary school in Chesterfield County Public Schools. Several years later, she and her husband, Chris, were blessed with their first child, and she left the school system to focus on being a mom to her son. As their family grew to a family of five with three boys, she returned to work at her church as the preschool and daycare director and later implemented a private Kindergarten program. It wasn’t long before the Lord placed on her heart the desire to homeschool, so she left the work place to become mom and teacher to her 3 elementary aged boys. During her years of homeschooling, Stephanie has taught numerous homeschooling classes ranging from elementary age to high school at various co-ops in the area. She has a passion for teaching and loves to make learning come alive for students. Each of her boys are now “grown and flown,” and she and her husband are blessed with amazing daughters-in-law who love Jesus. In 2024, Chris and Stephanie welcomed their first two grandchildren into the family. Stephanie is very active in her church and serves in leadership as a trustee and elder. She also assists in leading women’s ministry in and outside of her local church.
