Me on a Map and All About Me! Booklet

Miss SabrinaLeave a comment

In social studies, students are asked to think about not only themselves, but the bigger picture of what they belong to – communities, neighborhoods, states, etc. I created these booklets to help with this thinking process.

Intended for Kindergarten, teachers can start with the “Me on a Map” titles, which starts big (my planet) and ends small (me). Students can cut out the labels and draw pictures about what they learn. This can be done in a booklet, page, or poster. Completing this portion took around a week in my kindergarten.

Afterwards, students can move on to the All About Me! Booklet, which just need to be printed front to back, folded, and stapled! As students fill out the pages, they can think about what makes them special and how they help others. This is a great keepsake for them to take home and they are so fun to look at as a teacher!

Google My Maps can be a great tool for teachers to help bring students to new places. Virtual field trips are possible using My Maps and older students can use My Maps for integrated technology projects. These are great for group projects as they can be worked on from two different computers at once!

You do need a google account in order to begin using Google My Maps.

These two Maps are examples that older students or students with support can create for projects.

Spiders Are Important Too!

Miss SabrinaLeave a comment

Spiders often have bad impressions, especially for young children. This compilation of lessons, displayed in the PowerPoint below, helps students understand what spiders are and how they use their webs. Through observation, literature integration, projects, and songs, students are able to learn about this organism using their scientist eyes! This was created with the help of my friend and 3rd grade teacher, Amber Smith.
