today we had three maps, each map was different and on each map, we had to find a list of things. The equator, prime meridian, identify all seven continents, identify all five oceans, international date line, tropic of cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, and find the places of our origins and JC. It felt forever but I was able to get it done. Carson let me use all her colored pens so my maps are very colorful :) Most of this is review for me, I learned it in like third grade and every year I reviewed it, yay, another ear of it. However, something I did learn this year was the international date line. I didn't know there was a line that showed that a change of the clocks.
