We spent the last few weeks of school studying Arkansas history and our state symbols. We started by reading Me on the Map and talking about what our map would look like. Read to see our colorful anchor charts and flipbooks we made in first grade!

Following the first couple weeks of school when we have discussed our classroom and school community, it is time for expanding our explorations. Now we find our place in a larger community out to the world. Simultaneously, we learn types of communities and how to be responsible citizens.

This "Me on the Map," activity is created by nesting circles to help kids in developing a basic understanding of geography.
