Once I began traveling as an adult, I realized how little I had really learned in Social Studies. If you have a giftie who loves SS, you can start really studying various countries and civilizations in more depth. School really does a readers' digest version of it all.

My daughter has disliked SS until this year. She loves the way her teacher instructs (yea). We have filled in quite a bit - mostly through travel and Girl Scout badges and this is done in a really fun way.
