Here’s where North America is.

Here’s North America.

Let’s look for the Arctic, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans.

North America is where the United States of America is!

And also Canada, which is north of the United States,

Mexico, which is south of the United States,

and the smaller countries of Central America, which are south of Mexico.

There are also islands in the Caribbean Sea.

The United States is where we live!

is green and hilly,

the South

but the capital of the United States is Washington, DC.

A famous place in the United States is the Grand Canyon.
