Social Studies: We have moved into studying maps. Key topics of discussion through the end of the year include: types of maps, map key, map scale, compass rose, cardinal directions, continents, oceans, and globe. We'll also learn about the Nebraska maps and some features of our great state!
Science: We recently dove into ocean studies! We are learning the names and locations of the Earth's oceans, the four zones of the ocean, and what each looks and feels like. We are also doing experiments to discover the characteristics of the salty ocean water, designing a mural, and working with Mrs. Epp (media specialist) to write summary paragraphs about sea creatures.
