Eek. Where do we live?

Ok, teaching Social Studies is mind blowing. I have tried to start out easy to make students feel confident. The question of the day, "What country do you live in?" wasn't quite the low ball I excpected. After receiving "North America" and "New York" as responses, I realized that my work was going to cut out for me this year...

Haha. I hear ya. Even in Bloomington, IN they don't quite get the difference between continents, countries, and states. I learned that Paris is a country and both Cleveland and Chicago are states...

Let me know if you want any Social Studies advice/lesson ideas!
