Intro to Geography

Maps, globes, continents, oceans oh my! Kicking off our first week, we are doing a little intro. We started off coloring/labeling a world map. Logan really is not too big into coloring but he really enjoyed this.



The finished map!



Throughout the week we also did a balloon globe and popped it to show the distortion of what happens when you take a globe and try to flatten it into a map.





We also did a paper mache globe. I had never done a paper mache before so this was a bit of a learning experience for me. I have a problem wanting everything to be perfect but not having any extra time, I couldn't re-do this. Even still the boys had a riot doing it and it did turn out okay.
