Our SOCIAL STUDIES goals:

1. Continue to practice: 7 continents, 4/5 oceans

2. Identify both poles & hemispheres and the equator (Pôle Nord, Pôle Sud, Hémisphère Nord, Hémisphère Sud, l'équateur)

3. Memorize and understand how to identify the cardinal directions

Nord, Est, Sud, Ouest + Nord-Est (N.E.), Sud-Est (S.E.), Sud-Ouest (S.O.), Nord-Ouest (N.O.)

- The sun RISES (se lève) in the East = Est

- The sun SETS (se couche) in the West = Ouest

- The sun shines at noon (midi) above in the South = Sud

- The sun never shines from the North = Nord
