Our Great Big World Curriculum Package

Our Great Big World takes students in grades 1-4 on a year-long journey across continents through an integrated geography and literature approach. Each region comes alive through carefully selected folktales that reflect local cultures, paired with geographic lessons that build map skills and world awareness. The curriculum balances structured learning with the engaging, cross-curricular richness of a unit study format.

The complete package includes the main lesson book, a collection of authentic folktales and traditional songs, an atlas workbook for hands-on geography practice, and a themed coloring book. Students can listen to professional audio recordings of the folktales and songs, bringing oral storytelling traditions directly into your homeschool. The included literature guide and answer key support parents in facilitating discussions about the stories and their cultural contexts.

This Notgrass History curriculum connects young learners to the wider world through the universal language of story, while systematically building foundational geography knowledge that spans all four elementary grade levels.
