Curriculum Corner
As our IB unit comes to a close, please talk with your child about continents and countries they have learned about so far. Encourage them to tell you about animals, plants, oceans (or bodies of water), climate, landforms, and anything else they can remember. These discussions will assist them in their final project for our IB unit. You may also encourage them to utilize Mackinvia.com (Cobb Digital Library) for different research resources.
