Happy December! We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break!
As you have seen, this week in Social Studies we are learning about the Continents and Oceans of our world, so we thought we would give you a few tools to help your 2nd grade student practice at home! Here is a great website for practice.. there are a few different games you can play to memorize the continents and oceans.
