The students will be studying one amazing city each week. For example: In Paris we will learn about the Eiffel Tower, the catacombs, the Louvre, Notre Dame, and much more. In Washington DC we will study the monuments and all of the famous locations to be found there. Every city is filled with wonderful things to discover and learn!!!! Homework will take approximately 1 hour per week (10 minutes per day).
In this class we study each continent for six weeks. It is AMAZING to watch the growth of students in this class throughout the year. When they arrive, the children might know a bit of geography or none at all. By the time the year is complete, the students are able to take their globes and point right to any ocean or country in the world I call out. It is so much fun as a teacher to watch this learning happen. Each week the children will learn about two countries by finding the location, capital city, language, and three interesting facts about each one. We spend our class time sharing the interesting things that were learned at home and looking up all the cool animals, places, and amazing events together. Time flies in this class because we have a never-ending supply of wonderful things to discover together— pink dolphins, exploding volcanoes, hidden treasures, and so much more. At the end of the year the students will have created an amazing book of the world! Homework will take about an hour per week (10 minutes a day).
***This class is on a three–year rotation.
