Geo Brain Stations 

Here are some of the fun ways our Quest kids are learning about the different places around the world. We have truly enjoyed this journey and are not done yet. We love receiving our postcards and mail that help us learn about the U.S.A. and other great places in the world. Thanks to everyone who is helping make this possible for us. 

Kids Around the World is a cool, hands on game that teaches us neat facts, music, and counting from all other countries. 

 Treasure Hunt is an online activity that teaches us how to use longitude and latitude to find the hidden treasure. This is super fun for all ages! 

Atlas Facts allows kids to explore the different states and find facts that they didn't already know. Geography is so amazing!

Postcard Project!!

We have had the most fun receiving all of our fabulous postcards from places all over the world. Our friends are family are AWESOME! Without the help and support of you, we wouldn't know about all of the neat places people live and have visited. We are still receiving postcards daily, and the students get so so excited when new ones come in. We chart each location on our state and world map in the classroom. The students also have several maps of their own that we track and pinpoint on as well. I think we can all say that this unit of study has made us want to travel the world and has opened our eyes to how big this planet really is. So, in the words of Dr. Seuss, "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" 

Latitude and Longitude

We have been learning what Latitude and Longitude do for us on a map. Through the process, we have learned a song that has helped us remember their purpose. 

Click on this link to sing along with your child. This is our favorite. Don't forget to ask your child about the motions we put to the song too! :-)
