  1. I love history and that Map books looks like it would be a great resource for studying the united states and all the continents.

    I’ve checked out the green scene too, and I love it’s packages.

  2. Gotta say I love the whole idea of mapping with young children. I think I could build some powerful workshops around this for teachers to encourage the use of maps and mapping in the classroom.

  3. The Map book looks awesome. We have been studying maps in my classroom and my kids are rather intrigued with them. They would enjoy having this resource!

    The timer would be super handy in my room as well!

  4. I love the Maps book. Our school theme is Passport to Learning and we are trying to incorporate geography and writing across the curriculum and expose our students to a variety of cultures.

  5. I love the maps book and like the others as welland would be happy with any one of the books. I could incorporate any one of the books into so many areas of my teaching.

  6. This sounds like a wonderful map to have in any classroom! Oh the places my students would travel in their minds with this book in my classroom!

  7. Love the Maps Book! It would be an invaluable reference as it also features places of historical and cultural interest!

  8. Timer would be great, hearing & seeing hw much time is left for an assignment to be turned in really makes a difference in a student’s ability to focus.

  9. How Great is this lesson… Show veterans how much we value their service and introduce students to living history with the Take a Veteran to School Day program from History, this is an up close & personal lesson the students will be able to relate to.

  10. I think that maps are so helpful to students especially when the majority of your students are from a different country. Looking at maps helps the students to better understand one another’s culture as well.
