This year a fun, new activity we did for school was to make step books. I like them, they are quick and easy and the girls, ages 7, 6, and 4 seem to love making them.
I found this book at our local library and it was a great introduction to teaching our children about their place in the world. So we decided to make a step book out of the story.
Here is how ours began, take some construction paper and staple together to make a step book.
we labeled each page with the different names of the maps
top one being…. my room
my house…….
my street…….
my city…..
my state……
my country……
.
my world………
You can use stickers, or foam pieces to jazz up the pages. We did end up adding foil stars to the world picture but in the end the 2 year old tore them off and onto my wood floors they went???!!!!?!?
Hello!! I just want to say I have been following you for awhile now for homeschooling!! I have to say how impressed I am in all you do for yourself & for others!
I did want to tell you that we recently did the “Me On The Map” project & it went awesome!! Thanks for the information!!
BTW…. will you be adding anything more to high school level?
I am happy and glad that you are here! Yes, I will begin shortly on the high school levels. I am currently editing my 7th and 8th grade to work out the “errors” on my part. I will need to have it done for next year…so I will have it…keep watching:)
