From our Geography Through Art book we are doing the crafts on page 21 and 22. You'll need paper mache suplies (ball or balloon, news paper, mache glue) and some copy paper and stamp pads for making and aging maps.

This Weeks Vocabulary

Continent, Divide, Polar, Tropical, Temperate, Zone, Ocean, Sea NOTE: I don't expect them to know how to spell all of these, some of them will be a verbal test at the end of our time on the globe as a whole. These words are taken from our Geography glossary book.
