The Geography Quest at our school this month covered a whole lot of territory… literally. ๐
Countries studied included: The Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, the U.S., Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Costa Rica. Virtual travels are a beautiful thing. The kids had fun with the project.
Preview of coming attractions… in October, we tackle several Wonders of the World in a “Continent Challenge” focused on the Middle East and Asia. We will learn about Nemrud Dag, Turkey; the Sacred Mosque of Mecca, Saudi Arabia; Jerusalem, Israel; Cappadocia, Turkey; Babylon, Iraq; and Petra, Jordan. Geography Quest Quiz Day is Oct. 30th, 2013.
