MOTHERS DAY WRITING CRAFT prompt paper Mothers Day Gift Project Me on the Map

This Mothers Day Writing Craft integrates Me on the Map Skills with a Mothers Day writing papers for a gift for mom and helps students understand where they are in relation to the Earth as a whole through a review of map skills and geography. Some fun Mothers Day Gift Ideas are to have the students add an I Love Mom Tee Shirt to the self-portrait section of the project or pairing it with prompts like, "Why My Mom is the Best on Earth" or "World's Best Mom" with supporting details.

This Maps and Globes activities pack has 8600+ POSITIVE REVIEWS and is the original & most highly-rated Me on the Map Project Activity Bundle on TpT. Teach map skills with crafts, printable worksheets, flip books & a nesting circle craftivity for the book by Joan Sweeney.

It will provide you with everything you need for an in class lesson or an independent work project your students can do for at home learning to practice social studies, geography, and map skills.

It is easy to differentiate these integrated language arts and social studies me on the map activities for students between first grade and 5th grade. You can instruct the students to simply illustrate each page of the flip book template as you guide them through it or you could have more advanced learners research and write about the location on each page.

As mentioned above, this project is based on Joan Sweeney's book, Me on the Map. It would be beneficial to read the book with the project, but it is not necessary. As part of this project, each student designs a layered step book to represent their place on the map. You may then have them create an art project of themselves on the earth to match the cover of the picture book. It makes a great bulletin board or wall display!

This is my BEST-SELLING product of all time and has been successfully used by teachers in grades 1-5. I love knowing it is being enjoyed in classrooms, well… All over the map!

Please note this product is also available specifically for Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
