Cartographie

Dear Parents/Students,
We have been working hard on learning the how to use a map.  Students even had a chance to use a paper map to locate their city and other locations using longitude and latitude.

Today in class we will review how the earth is divided into hemispheres and look at the location of the prime meridian and the equator.

Here is a link to a video to help students understand concepts we will be learning in class and a game to reinforce the concepts.
