My Continent

QZ.SS.2.G.1.1-6

 

A continent is a huge piece of land. There are seven continents: North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica. Each one has its own countries, animals, weather, and landforms.

 

You live on one of these continents. Some are very warm, while others are cold. Some have jungles, deserts, or mountains. Learning about continents helps us see how different and special each one is.

 

🌍 Fun Fact: Asia is the largest continent—it has the most people and the tallest mountain!
