We wanted to extend a “thank you” for helping support us through this learning experience. We are excited to begin working on our summative activity. Students will be working on a super cool travel brochure to describe a continent. Encourage your child to research the continent that interests them! Information can be found on www.cobbdigitallibrary.com We can’t wait to see what our inquiring firsties come up with!



If you have any travel brochures at home that you can send in for an example, I would greatly appreciate it!!!

Here are some helpful hints for helping with IB units:

  • What signals do we have for the change in seasons? What instruments do meteorologists and climate scientists use?

  • Check out Google Maps/Weather for updates on weather conditions
