Puzzling geography lesson

Cooper is so fortunate to have generous friends, like Miss Sharon, who recently emptied most of her game closet and sent us home with dozens of boxes of puzzles and board games. (Her boys, now teenagers, took remarkably good care of their games!) We've since been playing a lot of Trouble, Battleship and Guess Who?, and Cooper has been piecing together 100- and 300-piece puzzles -- a big leap from the 48-piece ones he already owned.

This detailed Carmen Sandiego map of the United States is the most challenging yet. He's been working on it off and on, with our help, since Friday afternoon and was very proud to finish it this morning after church.
