Classwork: Today marked the first day of a real lesson for 2019.  Yesterday, we went over the Pre-Test, and Monday we did the Pre-test.  Concepts covered were

latitude longitude

hemisphere

placing continents, oceans, equator and Prime Meridian on a map correctly.

Landforms

TODAY we did an exercise showing the importance of Latitude and Longitude in locating a place despite being covered in snow, water, or trees.  Classes were divided into two groups of cartographers and geologists.  They had to construct a map to help their partner find 3 piles of gold only to find that I “destroyed” the classroom on purpose to confuse them.

Homework: PLEASE talk to your parents about the lesson and what you learned about it.
