Geography:

As we finish up our geography unit, students are presenting the continent posters that they completed in small groups.  Each group researched their continent looking for interesting information to share and worked on labeling and coloring a map of their continent.  Now, we are taking a "flight" around the world learning from each group. 

As part of this unit, we also have also participated in several movement lessons.  We have become skilled at working in our small groups to create the shape of our continents with our bodies.   Then, we move to the rug to complete a world map as a class, discussing where the continents connect and which oceans flow between them.  Once we have made the map, each group sings their part of our continent chant.  Ask your child to share this chant with you!

Here are some photos of groups presenting their posters.  I will post the photos from the other groups soon.
