Happy Monday 5L:))...

For today, our Super5Lscience blog...will be our Super5Lsocialstudies blog...

...We need to get some social studies in as well:))

Part of our standards (things we need to know) for social studies in 5th grade is that we know the countries that make up the North American continent...We are going to get a start on learning about the countries of North America.

Below is a link to Mr.Nussbaum...I want you to click on that link. The page that opens up will show an interactive map of the North American continent.
