Fun Fact of the Day

DID YOU KNOW?
Greenland is the largest island in the world!

Today’s Activity

Our first Marvelous Map Monday activity is to locate on a map, Gunnbjørn Fjeld, the mountain TA and her team are climbing in Greenland.  Gunnbjørn Fjeld is the highest peak in Greenland and is 3694m or 12, 118 feet high!  After finding Gunnbjørn Fjeld, the second thing to locate on the map is the capital city of Greenland.  The capital city is Nuuk and approximately 14, 700 people live there.

Teacher Note: If you click here you will be lead to a website that has a few maps of Greenland that can be used for this activity. There is one with all the answers on it and also a blank one that can be used for the students to label. This link will be used again in another map activity later!
