Hello families!

This week in social studies will be finishing up our study of continents and you should see some student-created maps coming home in the next few days.

We will be starting a study of the United States, specifically looking at each state and doing a research project that will allow us to travel across the United States (metaphorically). You can support at home by asking what your student knows about maps and why maps are helpful and important. They can also tell you some geographical features of the continent that they made a map of this week.

After wrapping up our continents study, we will be focusing on more specific and local geography!
