Students have really enjoyed our new social studies unit on geography. The main focus of the unit is understanding maps and how they are used to help us locate various places throughout the world. We have made maps of our classroom. Also, the class has spent time working with maps of Michigan and the United States. On Friday, the class was able to use their computer time to explore more about geography. I introduced them to Google Maps, ABCYa!, and PBS KIDS. You can use the links below to allow your child more practice time with these games at home. Beginning next week, students will be practicing their home address and phone number.
