Major Circles of Latitude

Coloring the map of the World

This week in CC we are talking about the five major circles of latitude. I am learning so much with Ivy! We colored a map of the world, took strips of brown construction paper to show where the five circle/ lines of latitude are.  For snack, we cut an apple and used spinach leaves to make the continents. The lines were fruit roll ups. We needed a bigger apple and smaller strips of roll up but she understood the idea. We also learned a song about the circles, and did body movements to help us memorize the major circles.  What are the five major cirlces of latitude?  The five major circles of latitude are  Arctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Equator, Tropic of Capricorn and Antarctic Circle!
