We are taking off around the world in Social Studies this week with the topic "Environments and Habitats of the World". I have some great links and interactive powerpoints to share that you can use with your child at home to review and reinforce these concepts.

Our vocabulary words for the theme are:
biome
habitat
environment
plains
flatlands
landforms

There is an  awesome website that we looked at today that explains a variety of biomes (habitats) around the world. Go with your child to Enchanted Learning-Biomes and explore.

Also, on our Fun Stuff-Video Shorts page, I have added several interactive PowerPoint lessons for at-home review:
Habitats and Landforms
Weather Around The World

There is also one new Language Arts interactive PowerPoint up now called "Said The" which helps the students learn about our newest punctuation marks (quotation marks).

Enjoy!
