Teddy and I learned about the oceans this morning. He referred to a chart on his wall as well as well as in a Children's Atlas reference book, and he identified the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the states that border it. Subject-specific vocabulary was introduced in the session where applicable. We looked at the world and the United States on maps and Teddy noted that there is more water than land. We also identified the other oceans and located them on the map. We reviewed cardinal directions using the map as a reference before adjourning this morning's class.
