Geography Test Practice

Each quarter second graders will take a District Geography Test in which they will label places on a world map, continent map, and state map. In addition to practicing on the SMARTboard, students received blank maps to practice with a partner, similar to flashcards. They enjoyed quizzing each other and showing off their quick labeling skills!

We've been learning about Maps and Geography in Social Studies. This week the children were introduced to the cardinal directions, North, South, East, and West. We learned a little riddle for helping us remember which direction goes where on the compass rose. We had fun playing a game using animal pictures and telling each other which direction to move in to end at a certain animal. As an extra challenge, we added the intermediate directions and then things really got tricky!
