Daily Geography

To help us with our inquiries into the new planner, we will be adding a new geography component to our daily routine in our classroom for a few minutes each day. They colored USA and world maps which they will keep in their green geography folders. Each day they will be given 2 questions to ponder. We will have discussions about each question each day and use the maps to answer the questions if needed. They will have the option of taking home the geography folder on Thursday evening to go over the questions at home for homework because on Friday we will have a geography quiz on the exact same questions. Geography is a lot of fun and the kids really do get a better sense of where they are in this great big world! We will continue this routine for the rest of the year...not just this planner.
