Just before the end of the first semester, World Geography class was focusing on physical features of the United States, creating and labeling posters with the major water bodies and mountains in the country. Currently, we are covering locations in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America. Westward Expansion is the current topic in eighth grade American History.
