Classroom Activities: Grades 1-9
January is the final month for local participation in the National Geographic Bee. Winners of the local contests go on to a national competition in Washington D.C. in May. Whether your students are involved in the Geography Bee or not, January is still a great time to work with maps and geography.
A good way to emphasize the fun and importance of geography in your school, whether you participate in the Geography Bee or not, is to create activities that require the use of maps to learn and present the results of learning. Did you know that SIRS Discoverer provides more than 200 map-related activities?
