This geography class focuses on introducing students to the basics of the United States and all its beauty and diversity. Through stories, hands-on activities, crafts, science experiments, and discussions, they'll develop a basic understanding of the different states, their locations, and unique features, such as famous landmarks, animals, and climates. The class will also cover map skills, helping students understand how to read maps and learn about geographical features like oceans, rivers, and mountains. By the end of the year, students will have a better understanding of the diverse places that make up the United States. Teacher: Natalie Erickson
