Upcoming Unit of Study

Next week we will begin the Landforms and Regions Unit. This is an interesting unit for the students in which we study the mountain ranges and waterways of the world, various global regions, and begin to touch upon cultural aspects of other global cultures. If for any reason your child is absent, or checks out early, he/she may click on the Landforms blog and catch up with missing notes, etc.

The following are the state curriculum standards covered in this unit:

• 3.04

and human characteristics of

place.

 

• 3.05

common physical and cultural

characteristics create regions.

 

• 3.06
