Patrick studied various maps to identify where the continents begin and end. He practiced pronouncing the names. We read the names on one map, and he had to find the matching continent on another map that was not labeled. He transferred the continent names to that map. By the end of the lesson, he was able to identify N. & S. America, Antarctica and Africa. We read a selection from Incredible Animals about Giraffes in Africa. Patrick paraphrased what he learned by recalling facts. He will have a quiz next week on the continents.
