Social Studies

As an introduction to our Social Studies work, we learned about the geography of the United States. We reviewed the continents and oceans and the concept of latitude and longitude. Then we learned several geographic terms and labeled them on a map. We then applied those terms to the geographic features of the United States. After this week we will spend a couple of weeks learning about Native Americans, how different groups adapted to their particular regions and how those regional adaptations led to cultural differences as well.
