A printable map of the United States ended up saving me in 1st hour yesterday. My students don’t have the best textbooks in the world for geography but they’ve been okay thus far in the year. I had them open there books to page 68 yesterday and we found that the old geography teacher had them all ripped out for some reason. I quickly gave them a new assignment.

I went online to find a map for them to use. First I found maps of Asia and then maps of Mexico. At last I found a printable map of the United States. We got enough for the whole day and my students were able to get to the assignment at hand. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do because they had to do that assignment at some point because the objectives align with several of the state’s and the district’s.

I don’t know what I would have done for that assignment. I guess I’ll have to push the district to get them new books. I wonder if they will or if I’ll have to continue to purchase supplies for my students.
