Our Second Grade World of "Social Studies"

If you haven't already guessed, our class loves food. I'm sure the grocery stores wonder what I do with some of my rather unusual afternoon purchases. This week we completed a mini unit about landforms. To better internalize what North Carolina looks like on a map, we used our fine motor skills to cut a replica from flour tortillas. With a pattern, toothpick, and fork in hand each child carefully cut out the shape of our state. The fun part then began. We always get excited when cake icing appears! After spreading our "base glue" (icing), we then used different yummy treats to form the three regions of North Carolina. Take a look at our video and see if you can determine which treats we used!
