SS: Geography Centers Unit
We will be spending about 1-2 weeks learning about Geography including maps, mystery countries, landforms,bodies of water and time zones. I will have these things in different centers for them to rotate around and do some activities. There really isn't something to send home for them to do as we will be doing activities in the classroom.

We have a few more we didn't get to do last week, so this week we will finish up!




Also:
We did our catapult on Friday and Sammie and David's marshmallow went the furthest. On Thursday, Ryan's was going the furthest though, but I think he launched his too many times on Thursday.LOL
