About this website


My name is Emily Christian and I am a junior at Boston University.  I am majoring in Anthropology and minoring in Education.  I designed this website for Mrs. Roberson's 2nd grade class at Jackson Mann School in Allston, MA. This website can help students get an overview of the 7 continents of the world.
