Geography Centers, Grades 4-5 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My children absolutely loved working on this! They made the centers themselves (laminated and all) and then could not wait to actually get started on them. To be able to work on their own the cover recommends 4-5th grade, but with a parent a 3rd grader could do several of them. There are 12 File Folder Centers. Titles include...The Fifty States; Regions of the U.S.; North America Quiz; A World Puzzle; Mystery Countries; Looking at the Globe; Parts of a Map; Kinds of Maps; A Map Grid; Landfforms on Earth; Bodies of Water; and Time Zones of the U.S. There is a direction page to tape to the back of the folder (this tells how to make the center and has the directions for completeing that particular center); a cover for the front, full color materials for each center; reproducible record sheets; and a self-checking answer key.
I have used (too) many different map skills books trying to find one that they wouldn't get bored with. Well, I found it and this is it. Each folder offers a different way to learn the topic. I can't say enough about this book. I just wish I had found it before I wasted money on others. Buy it and your children will beg to do geography.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book helped me start teaching first grade after teaching the intermediate grades for many years. It gives suggestions for management and for teaching. I have re-read this book over and over. Each time, I find something new because I am becoming more and more comfortable with my new grade level. This is a wonderful book for new teachers or grade-level changing teachers.
