In social studies, Noah has been learning about different types of landscapes and what kind of life each landscape inhabits. We learned that South America is full of jungles and rainforests with monkeys and snakes and lizards galore! We also talked about what people live like in this area and how they speak different languages and have different customs than we do in America.

Social Studies

• Noah has learned about different types of landscapes, particularly the jungles and rainforests of South America.
• He has gained an understanding of the diverse wildlife that inhabits these landscapes, such as monkeys, snakes, and lizards.
• Noah has been introduced to the idea of cultural diversity, learning about the different languages and customs of people in South America compared to those in America.

One creative way to continue developing this topic is to encourage Noah to create a visual project, such as a diorama or a poster, showcasing the landscapes and wildlife of South America. This could involve researching and depicting different animals and plants, as well as incorporating information about the cultures and languages of the region.
