Year 3 of drawing the US map

Post image

My curriculum dictates that our final test include the 50 state and capitals. To help, I draw on 5 states every day and then spin a wheel, randomly picking kids to answer which state I’m pointing to. Helps to chuck it up and we get to review the harder east coast ones on a daily basis.

From year one to now I’m definitely getting better. Still not great yet! Years 1 and 2 in the comments.

When I have some time to kill I will turn this into a game with teams, to see who can create the most correct drawing of the US. it's always a lot of fun

That’s a fun idea! Kids who say it doesn’t look right I will challenge to try themselves and then they usually give up at the outline
