Yesterday we began our unit on landforms. Our Interactive Notebook project consists of flip pages in which we will write a sentence to describe and color a picture of the targeted landform. We went back through portions of the Brain Pop Jr. learning video on landforms, pausing and using it to support our study. Additionally, we are using online pictures and the book, U.S. Landforms by Dana Meachen Rau, which has colorful pictures and informational text. We are also completing related activities in Danny’s Geography textbook as we address each landform. Today we focused these activities on rivers, hills, mountains, and lakes. Finally, we ended our session with a Florida Studies Weekly packet on Changes in Communities. We read about how before people, there were just plants and animals on Earth. Development of communities has changed that and our communities have also grown and changed. We recapped the material with a crossword puzzle focusing on the vocabulary terms of extinct, pollution, natural resources, and traffic jams.
