our 50 states; Hawaii & Alaska actually sits in
the Pacific Ocean. The North Pole touches the
Arctic Ocean(burrr extra cold, Santa should
bundle up).We have a new ocean called The
Southern Ocean, which is home to Antartica.
Australia is a continent that sits in two oceans!
The Pacific and the Atlantic.
 Continents
Our Country The United States is in North
America. Countries like The United
Kingdom and France are in
Europe. My brother is in China right now,
so he is in Asia! Other countries like Libya
and Rawanda are located in
Africa. Interesting fact! Australia is a
country and a continent!
 Community
In this great big world, we live on the
continent of North America. The country
that we live in inside of it is called The
United States of America. There are 50
states inside but we live in
South Carolina. Inside our state we
live in Horry County. The city that most of
us live in is called Myrtle Beach.
