Today, we started learning about landforms. Together we read a book called "Landforms" by Mary Evans. The beautiful pictures show us the different landforms on the Earth. The glossary below is from Ms. Evans' book.

In 2008, two years ago, Ms. K. took a two-month long family trip across America driving west, south, north, east, north, east, back to Portland, Maine.
We traveled by car through many different States and across many different landforms. Take a look!
The pictures in the video were taken on this trip and show you some of the beautiful places in America we visited with our car. You will also see that there are many different landforms in the United States of America.
