Giveaway: National Geographic Maps!!



"One of the most beneficial learning tools that we keep on hand is a great collection of maps and globes. They decorate our hallways and basement, our closet doors and the stairwell walls. What a great dimension they have added to our children's hands-on education! Don't miss the opportunity to let them connect the wonders of the world with the geography of the planet."  ~Amanda Bennett

I am so excited about this Contest!!!

In conjunction with our Northern/Southern Hemisphere special this week, National Geographic has generously donated three US/World Political Map Bundles to be used in a DNG blog giveaway.  These maps are so so beautiful and designed especially for children. From the National Geographic website:


This is a very exciting year for National Geographic Maps, as we are launching our new series of maps designed specifically for the kids. Our new graded-series of maps are the first to address the unique needs of K-12 students as they advance their understanding of our World.

Unlike other classroom poster maps, ours utilize the Winkel-Triple projection, which provides the best combination of size, shape, and distance giving the student the best visual representation of the Earth’s surface. This solves the effect seen on other maps where Greenland appears larger than South America.

Our new maps start early elementary kids off right. Our Beginner Series, grades K-3, contains an easy to read maps of the World and United States. As kids progress, so do our maps! Our Political Series, grades 4-12, has up-to-date World and U.S. maps, increasing the detail of information for the teacher and student to utilize. Finally, our Physical Series, grades 6-12, helps advancing students understand the World’s diverse landform, Oceans, and our Nation’s terrain.

To add to the fun, for purchases, National Geographic is also offering to wave shipping charges to our U.S. customers, from now until September 20, 2010!  Those outside the U.S. will receive a 10% discount!  Check out their amazing map products.  You are sure to find many things that you'll want for your homeschool.  Of special interest to DNG families, their Beginners Series bundle. Once you’ve selected the items you’d like to purchase, contact brdouthi@natgeomaps.com via email, to receive your special discount.  Orders will be shipped via USPS Media Mail in 10-14 days. Offer expires 9/20/2010.
