180 Days™: Social Studies, Geography for Kindergarten Practice Workbook for Classroom and Home, Cool and Fun Practice Created by Teachers

180 Days of Practice

by Jessica Hathaway

Supplement your social studies curriculum with 180 days of daily geography practice! This essential classroom resource provides teachers with weekly geography units that build students' geography knowledge and are easy to incorporate into the classroom. In a world that is becoming more connected and globalized, 21st-century students must have the skills necessary to understand their world and how geography affects them and others.

Each week, students will embark on an exciting journey, exploring a particular topic and diving into a new place or type of map. The first two weeks consist of a comprehensive mini-unit that focuses entirely on map skills. Students will develop their map and spatial abilities, learning cardinal directions, the use of a key/legend, how to identify landforms, and distinguishing between rural and urban locations. They will also gain insights into natural resources, relative locations, and understand what is farther or nearer from a specific point.

But this resource goes beyond mere map skills. It empowers students to enhance their critical thinking and analytical capabilities by teaching them how to answer text- and photo-dependent questions. As they explore different places, they will also study the 5 themes of geography, gaining a deeper understanding of how culture and geography are interconnected.

With a strong focus on smaller-scale maps like town and city maps, this curriculum ensures that students receive practical and relevant knowledge that they can apply in their daily lives. By immersing themselves in geography practice, students will be better prepared to navigate our ever-changing world and grasp the complexities of our global society.
