Our Classroom... the globe?

If you were to have looked in Room 221 this afternoon, you might have been a little confused. Your first question may have been something like, "Why is there masking tape across the floor?” We are currently learning about the four different hemispheres of the globe (northeastern, southeastern, northwestern, and southwestern), and in order to help us master these four hemispheres, we have divided our very own room. We have the “equator” separating the northern half of our room from the southern, and the “prime meridian” separating the eastern half of the class from the western half. We have many fun activities planned to help your children master the different spheres and eventually, be able to identify the different spheres that continents can be found in!
