Map Work

I know I said I would stop blogging so much, but this one is for the students.  Also, don't forget to check out the geography practice in the social studies links.  It is fun!  REALLY!


As a reminder (even though you had enough time to complete the labeling in class), here is what should be labeled on the maps we worked on today.  Remember to write the words as directed and write horizontally.  Shade water area in light blue.  SHADE LIGHTLY!!

2.  Label the oceans, capitalizing the first letter of both words:
