In second grade your child will learn about the continents and where they are located on a map. This will be a brand new concept for them. It would be great to go ahead and introduce it to them at home before the school year even begins! It takes a lot of repetition for students to master a concept. Below you will find a tutorial and also a game they can play about the continents. Have fun!

What a great game for students to practice! I can bet even some of my students in high school would not get 100%. Geography is focused on so little in schools today, yet it is such an important knowledge to have.
ReplyDeleteKristy, I have loved your blog although I haven't commented every time. If you get a chance to continue this blog I would love it. Since I teach second grade music, it is interesting to see what they are learning or will learn. It helps me want to get with my second grade teachers and see if it is the same and how we can incorporate the music with the classroom lesson. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great game to use and what a great way to prepare your students for what's coming. I like that you're using the blog to show everyone what's going on!
