picture sort

Sorting pictures of land and water. I have a graphics website that I utilized for these images. I inserted the pictures into word and used the textbox tool to write what the picture was. I then created a simple 2 column sort in word. Laminate for durability. As each picture was presented, we would describe what we see and place the picture into that column.

sensory bin~ geography

One of my rotations in my class is sensory table. Each week (or every 2 weeks) I change out the sensory bin. This week we used a water bin to correspond with our geography unit. Inside the bin you will find: plastic fish, water quarters, boat, two pouring cups, and some beads and buttons at the bottom. My kids absolutely loved their bin this week. I would not put the small objects in the bin if you have students that put things in their mouth.

incorporating fine motor skills

To incorporate fine motor skills into our geography unit I utilized my boardmaker cd (this can be done in Microsoft word also). I found pictures of land and water and took the line tool and created a cut line up to the picture. We worked on the land page first. With each line, they had to say what image it led to. After finishing the land page we went onto the water page. Super simple activity to incorporate the unit vocabulary while practicing the all important fine motor skill.
