About this Website!
This website was created by Jenny Gorman, a freshman at Boston University studying Elementary Education. The purpose of this website is to aide Ms. Del Vecchio's second grade class at the Alcott Elementary school in Concord, Massachusetts in social studies. This site focuses on landforms and bodies of water, but also on the continents.
