American's Breadbasket - Week 3

AMERICA'S BREADBASKET
What is it?
Where can I find it? Can it be found in one of the landforms we learn about?
Why is it an American Treasure?

American Landforms

This week our focus will be on landforms found in the United States.  Students may appreciate the good rich farmland of the central plains if they understand other types of landforms as well.  We will be making a class map of the United States and labeling some mountains, canyons, lakes, rivers, desserts, forests, and plains.

Each part of our great nation offers something to the people who live there.  We will be reading Town Mouse Country Mouse by Jan Brett and looking for advantages and disadvantages of each home.

Next week we will be exploring wheat production.
