Our Beautiful Earth

Over the course of the last 2-3 weeks, first graders have been learning about the physical characteristics of our earth.  Students have been learning about our earth's landforms and bodies of water.  Students have been mesmerized by our countries' unique features as they were able to 'soar' over different areas of our country.  As we have built our knowledge in this area, students were challenged to sculpt our landforms/bodies of water according to clues.  Being the 'potter', students used play-doh to demonstrate their understanding of the physical features on earth.  Ask your little one share about any of the following landforms and bodies of water:  plateau, mountain, hill, valley, plain, island, river, ocean, lake and pond.
