TEACHER TIP: We paired these activities with the book Armadillo from Amarillo by Lynne Cherry, and it worked perfectly to spark student interest in maps and geography. You can also use other great read-alouds like Me on the Map by Joan Sweeney to build background knowledge and support map skill lessons. These books make excellent introductions to the concept of location and help students connect personally to the geography content.

This was perfect for third grade. More involved than some of the me on the map activities. Love that they had to write on the last page and put it all together. This helped them process and have to think about where they live.

This resource was a great introduction into several lessons of multiple subjects. It allowed me to summarize what my following lessons consist of. It provides my students with a focal point that their lessons are centered around, and is used as a reference tool when needed.
