1 The 21 st Annual Dr. Feinberg Geography Challenge Study Book Grade 1 Spring 2016 Mary Lee Burbank School 266 School Street Belmont, Massachusetts U.S.A. Dr. Tricia Clifford, Principal
2 Parents: Please review this with your child. Spring 2016 Dear Burbank Grade 1 Students: The Dr. Feinberg Geography Challenge for the Junior Division (Students in Grades K, 1, and 2) will take place on the morning of Wednesday, May 25 th, from 9:00-10:00A.M. Your parents or guardians, grandparents and special friends or neighbors are welcome to attend the Challenge. All of the questions and answers for the Challenge are found in this book. At the Challenge your team will be asked a few of the questions from the guide. Your final question will be a flag. We encourage you to study the questions both alone and with your teammates. All questions will be directed to your team, not to you as an individual. Don t forget to coordinate with your team on a theme or color to wear the day of the Challenge. The purpose of the Challenge is to learn and have fun. You may find that some of the questions are easiest to learn by using a map or atlas to find locations and features. If you are able to understand how locations relate to one another, you may be able to avoid simply memorizing some of the answers, and you may be better able to remember what you have learned even after the Challenge is over. Congratulations to all of you who have decided to participate in the Challenge this year! If you have any questions, please contact one of the committee chairs. Good luck! Sincerely, Stephen Burt, burntstove@gmail.com Clare Crawford, crawfocl@yahoo.com Kathy Collins DerKazarian, kaceycoll@yahoo.com Sonia Gulbankian, gulbankian@gmail.com Aida Parnagian, aida0519@yahoo.com Chairs, The Dr. Feinberg Geography Challenge Committee
