United States Map Project
By Brandi
|
|
Using an overhead projector and an outline of their state, each student traces their state on cardboard and cuts it out. Then we make a huge bucket of salt dough and they cover their states while sculpting in rivers, mountains, etc. Once dry, they paint them, green= land, brown= mountains, blue= rivers. Then we label the state capital and other landmarks with jujubeas. After all the research and labeling is complete we all go outside on the playground and make one big huge United States puzzle.This is a great learning experience last year we had parents show up with cameras.
