Learning to be Cartographers in Room 207

The children have been working diligently to learn the names and locations of the seven continents, five oceans, and several major rivers and mountain ranges of the world.  All children have now completed their world relief maps.  They can identify the location of the Andes Mountains in South America or the Yangtze River in Asia. They have learned that the Mississippi River begins in Lake Itasca and ends in the Gulf of Mexico, and is the longest river in North America.  The children have used their knowledge of cardinal and intermediate directions to help them identify the location of specific locations.  Be sure to quiz your child and test your own map skills!
