What is the "What Is Geography?" Poster?

⌄

One page with a definition box that says geography is the study of places on Earth, the people who live there and how land, water and people change each other. Four panels follow: Places, People, Land and Water, and Maps and Tools, each with one short sentence.

Can I use the "What Is Geography?" Poster at home and in the classroom?

⌄

Yes. We made it for 2nd Grade to 5th 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.

⌄

2 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 2nd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 7-11. 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 2nd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
