Teaching Kids About Geography

The concept of the world, spinning around, orbiting the sun, being just one of many planets in the universe is certainly a difficult one for early elementary students to grasp. And yet, they are also clearly fascinated by this place we call Earth. Within this website I have begun a project that I hope will help students along the way towards understanding more about our planet, focusing on just a few geographic concepts. I would love to hear your ideas for opening up this world to young students, and what you have found to be effective in your classrooms.
