Social Studies – Exploring the Continents Project

Dear Parents,

We have now completed Theme 2: “The Cayman Islands – A Part of the World,” where we have looked at the Continents, Oceans and Our Caribbean Neighbours.  We have also started the practical part of our project in making the globe of Our World. To make this even more interesting we are going to learn more about the Continents.  Each child will choose a continent and research on the continent he/she has chosen to do.

Please assist your child with help needed for this research.  In addition, you may view the websites for additional information.

Due Date: January 15th, 2010
