Welcome to 7th Grade World Geography! 

Wow! It is hard to believe that we are a month into the school year already and through our first unit in Geography class! Our next unit will focus on Physical Geography, where we will learn about the Earth and some of it's physical systems and processes such as climate, weather, geology, and plate tectonics. This will be a more normal unit in terms of length, which will span 4-5 weeks. I am tentatively planning to wrap up this unit with an assessment around October 23rd. The essential question that will be guiding our studies this unit is: Why do we study Earth and its physical systems?

As always, please reach out via email if you have any questions or concerns.

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 and work on their map skills. Students also have the Seterra App on their iPads that has a bunch of different interactive map games and activities they can work on too.   You can also watch/read the news with your student and discuss things that are going on in the world.
