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 a fun resource. We spent 4 days completing the project and competed it digitally. My students worked in partners to do the research. I pre-researched websites for them to use to find the required information. They learned SO much about planets in our solar system, our continents, country, etc. I loved how engaging this was for them. They completed the final step, the writing assignment, independently. I printed this and it looks great on our bulletin board. Thank you.
