Geography is the study of the features of the earth, and the cultures that were developed in the various parts of the world by human beings. The needs of man are universal, but the way these needs have been met, differ. So we have many different peoples around the world who live differently, who have adapted differently to what the world has offered them in different locations.
The geography work has two divisions: physical geography and cultural geography. The work in these two groups goes parallel to one another. For Physical geography, we will give the child the basic forms of landmass. We will use models, pictures, and books to bring this information to the child. We will also talk about climate zones and how they affect the people who live in them. We will talk about Cultural geography next month.
This month the children will explore with materials that will introduce them to the concepts of land, water, and air. By learning about the basic forms of landmasses and water features of the earth as well as various climate types through hands-on and interactive materials, children will enhance their critical thinking skills, fine motor development, and sensory experiences.
Below are the children featured in the month of November/December for Geography:
