What teachers have said about this resource...
 
"We reviewed Map Skills as part of our virtual learning and I enjoyed the materials. I liked that there were things that I could cut out and glue the items in a room. While I did this portion virtually, my students viewed and drew a picture of their rooms and the things inside."
 
"This was a really fun activity to introduce my son to map skills. I found this resource to try after he expressed an interest in map-making. He later had an activity from school that required him to draw his bedroom, so this was a great prep for that as well."
 
"This was a nice activity to use for the beginning of the year to get them ready for using maps. They enjoyed coloring and showing everyone the layout of their own room. Very engaging."
 
"I sent this home as a fun homework assignment in kinder and then we did show and tell about our rooms. Kids and parents loved it."
