My Project

Help me ensure that my students will have the basic tools to learn about the world around them. Everyone should be able to read and label a map.

I want them to build up their mapping skills and gain that confidence.

I have seen so many students be nervous because they cannot read a map or point out the continents and oceans. They may feel less than the other students that can do it.

These will allow them to build those skills and make them more confident learners. They will also ensure that the rest of their schooling goes more smoothly with those skills.
