Map Skills and Mexican Review Game

I created a game to make the review process more fun for the students after having studied the following topics: the Rich and Poor of Mexico, the Mexican-American War, and the Mexican Revolution (these are all in Spanish). We also just finished up our study of geography including the continents and oceans, latitude and longitude, hemispheres, cardinal directions, and where to find the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and explanation of Alaska and Hawaii. This game is meant to be played in guided reading groups and is in English so that students can apply the knowledge they learned in Spanish to something in English to develop a bilingual vocabulary for the material.

Schedule Printables

I created some new bilingual printables for our schedule this year so that it looks cuter and less horrendously 2002. Kelly green, royal blue, and yellow--are we serious about this, Really Good Stuff? No thanks.

I plan on cutting, laminating, and magnetizing these little babies. And, as with a lot of the printables already in our room, they're black and white and go with any color scheme! I'll post some pics once our room is kid-ready.
