HOW OFTEN ARE THESE COUNTRY STUDIES UPDATED?

Geographical and political information can change quickly and without warning. Most information in the Central America Country Studies is unlikely to change frequently, but you never know!

I will update the information periodically, but you can edit the information in the presentation as needed.

Once you buy any resource in my store, all future updates are free. Just redownload the file from TPT to get the update.

HOMESCHOOLING PARENT?

My Country Studies are great for homeschool! I used them with my homeschooled 7th and 9th grade boys just a few years ago. We studied a different country each week, and they loved them and learned a TON!
