the United States. Your child learned ways that he or she can identify the
main physical features of the country, its natural resources, and its
climate.
You can help your child by supporting our classroom learning.

Here are some things you can do to reinforce the message of this lesson
and our related learning activities.

• Ask your child to tell you about the lesson and what he or she
learned from it.
• Use the internet to review with your child a map of the United

States and the importance of its location.
• Watch a video about the United States, its major physical features,

and its importance as a world-leading economy.
• Find some additional photos or videos about some of the places
discussed in the lesson. Show your child different photographs of

the United States to determine if the photos match his or her
ideas about the country. Search for geographical clues in
the photos to see if he or she can guess which region the

photo represents.
