Over the past two weeks, the specials team has devoted their class time to "Around the World at HES." We've visited all seven continents, taken a look at the 5 world oceans, and visited specific countries to learn more about their climate and culture. We learned that Antarctica is actually the world's largest desert because of their lack of rainfall and that two continents share the country Russia - Europe and Asia. We also took a closer look at map skills - working on the compass rose, latitude and longitude, Prime Meridian, hemispheres, and the Equator. Each day, our students wrote information in their travel journal so that they would have a study guide. Last Friday, we assessed their learning and we were EXTREMELY pleased with the result!
