Fantastic Friday

Fantastic Friday time!  This week, our friends at National Geographic  have graciously donated an awesome tool for you to use.  A 51" x 40" - United States Wall Map!

Here's a great description from them:

"Introducing a new series of National Geographic maps designed specifically for kids. Our new graded-series of maps are the first to address the unique needs of K-12 students as they advance their understanding of our world.

Unlike other classroom poster maps, ours utilize the Winkel-Triple projection, which provides the best combination of size, shape, and distance giving students the best visual representation of the Earth’s surface. This solves the effect seen on other maps where Greenland appears larger than South America.

Our Beginners' Series maps of the U.S. and the world are easy to read and perfect for young learners in kindergarten through third grade."

Be sure to visit National Geographic's website to see all their cool tools (perfect additions to your unit study!)
