Where In The World Is JMT today?

This is the beginning of JMT's journey.
 1.  He left for his trip from the capital of our country.  Give me the name of the city, continent that it is located on and the hemisphere.

Remember lines of latitude run horizontal (parallel with the equator).  Lines of longitude run vertical (parallel to the Prime Meridian).  Remember for latitude the equator is zero and for longitude the Prime Meridian is zero.  Latitude lines are like the rungs of a ladder and are either North or South.  Longitude lines are long and run up and down, East and West


Using the map provided on the original post (click on it to enlarge)
2.  Give me the location where the latitude and longitude lines meet.  The coordinates are latitude 25 degrees North  and longitude 40 degrees West.
3.  Here are the coordinates of where he landed.  52 degrees N and 0 degrees W.  Name the country (and the city if you can).

Geography Game---Where In The World Is JMT?

This is a map of the world that shows lines of latitude and longitude.  This map will help you as we reinforce map skills through our blog game "Where In The World Is JMT?"

For each set of latitude/longitude coordinates, you will tell us the country, continent or ocean where JMT can be found.  You will post your answers as a comment for each game entry.  (click on the map to enlarge).
I cannot wait to see where our game will take us as we follow JMT's path.
Cheerio!

Creating Powerpoints For Our Country Study

As part of our Social Studies curriculum, we study location and continents.  On 9-11 September we chose the continent and country we wanted to research.  We spent several days completing our research.   This past week each group put their research together in a powerpoint presentation.  Below is a postcard showing us hard at work.

Creating Habitat Environments

Students were given a shoe box to use as the backdrop for their habitat.  They were limited by only their imagination.   The students diligently worked on drawing and painting the perfect scenery for the habitat they chose.

Creating Habitat Organisms

Our class has spent the first marking period of school studying the various habitats of Georgia.  As a cloze activity, the students were given a clump of clay with the instructions to make animals and plants from the habitat of their choice.  As you can see, they have done a fantastic job!

So Long Friend

We are sad to see Kirah leave our class.   She will be missed greatly.  We hope that you will enjoy your new school and class, but remember that you will always be a part of our class.
