Teaching map skills? Here's a Me on the Map flip book for 1st / 2nd / 3rd Grade. Check out these fun and differentiated Me on the Map activities! This 1st - 3rd grade map skills unit is based on the book Me on the Map by Joan Sweeney. This super cute, 7 page, me on the map flip book helps teach some of the most basic "must know" geography! I have included 2 versions: A guideline font with dotted words to trace AND a version for differentiation with just blank guidelines for more experienced writers. I also include all 50 states as cut out options for the book, so you can customize a me on the map flip book for your students. Step-by-step directions and pictures can be seen on my blog: Me on the Map ~ Peasinapodlessons.com To get started, I photocopy & cut a class set. I only pass out one page. I collect it when they are finished, so the paper stays wrinkle free. We focus on one lesson each Friday, and review the concept throughout the week. I start with Earth and the globe, then the continents, country, state, city, and finally my address. I laminate the pages and have a parent cut & collate. Then, I bind them. They are beautiful on their desks during open house. Best of all, the kids LOVE creating their books! I have 2 versions that allow me to differentiate. For lower level students, I use a guideline font with dotted words to trace. Higher level students write the same sentences from the board but are only provided with blank guidelines. In my sample, I colored each tab using a ruler. For the class set, I plan on putting a different colored sticker dot (or colored star) next to the title of each page before laminating them. Another option would be to copy each page on a different light colored piece of construction paper and forgo laminating altogether. Directions for the geography book are included. appropriate for first, second, third grade (possibly some kindergarten classes) ************************************************************************************************************* If you like this map skills activity, you might also like the links below: Mini Books and more ~ Throughout the Year!
