What is My Place in the World Circle Craft?
⌄
Three pages after the cover. Page 1 lists the supplies, 6 steps and a finished example. Pages 2 and 3 hold 7 circles in different sizes: Me, My Home, My Street, My Town, My State, My Country and My Planet, each with a box to draw in and a line to write on.
Can I use My Place in the World Circle Craft at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Kindergarten to 2nd Grade Geography Awareness Week resources are there?
⌄
8 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 30 Geography Awareness Week resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our Geography Awareness Week activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are Geography Awareness Week resources for?
⌄
These are written for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 5-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these Geography Awareness Week resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten to 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
