Social Studies ~ Our place in the world

This week in reading, we read the story The Armadillo from Amarillo. The Armadillo wanted to understand where he was from in the grand scheme of things. Our third grade team tied that story to our Social Studies standards for Geography.
It's important for our children to know that they live in a house, on a street, in a town, in a state, and so.
Have your student focus on their address, state, country, continent, and planet.

Still a Work In Progress

Obviously, I am still trying to learn how to do this. If I have any parents willing to be the official "Blogger" for our class please email me.
