New Social Studies Unit: Geography and Cultures



We started a new social studies unit this week entitled, "Geography and Cultures." We talked about the Cultural Project (See the "Cultural Project" post)and we learned what the terms "geography" and "culture" mean. The highlight was finding Virginia on the map of the United States and looking at a map of the state of Virginia and finding Washington and Arlington on the map. We also learned about cardinal directions, the compass rose and map legends.
