May 11 - May 15
Hello 7th Grade! I cannot believe we are already halfway through May. At this point in the year we'd be learning about the geography of Africa, so that is what we are going to start today! Africa is a beautiful continent with diverse climates, landscapes, and people. In Africa you can find deserts, snow, and tropical rainforests. You can find people who speak more than 2,000 different languages and practice many different religions. And, one of my favorite things about Africa is the unique wildlife native to the continent. I hope you enjoy learning a little bit about the continent this week!
