Geography

Welcome to 7th Grade World Geography!  I am excited to work with all of you this year and am anticipating a year of year full of learning, growth, and fun!

October: Our first unit on Geography Tools and Concepts went very well with students gaining some knowledge and skills for working with maps and other geographic tools. We will spend most of October studying Weather, Climate, and Geology, learning about our planet's climate zones and physical structures. Our Essential Question for this unit is: Why do we study Earth and its physical systems? Ask your student about which climate type we live in and about the Earth's water to land make up as the month progresses to see what they have to say!

Outside Activities:

Looking for something to do outside of class?  Students have a number of activities on Schoology that focus on our social studies vocabulary.  You can also watch/read the news with your student and discuss things that are going on in the world.
