Where in the World Am I?

Social Studies

We have been exploring maps and globes and reviewing the continents and oceans. We read a book Where Do I live? and it helped us see the difference between our planet, continent, country, state, city and town. The students enjoyed showing their knowledge by making a flip book. These are displayed on our "paws"itively great work bulletin board in the classroom. Your child should be able to recall these important facts. Try going over this information often at home too. We will now focus our attention on North America and more specifically to the United States with further discussion of U.S. symbols and examination of the three branches of our government.
