Postcard Album: Italy In Europe
This week's postcard album page was for Italy. We had a dinner for Italy two years ago, and we have Italian food regularly, so we decided not to do a dinner this time. I am really working on the difference between continents and countries in our geography this year. I had him search for the shape of Italy by looking at the country's map and seeing if he could find Italy's shape on the map of Europe. Italy is nice for this exercise since it has its distinctive "boot" shape. He colored it in once he found it.
We had a placemat that we had saved from a local pizza place. He decided to cut out the word Italia and the map of Italy from it to add to the page.
He added Italy's flag and our postcard, of course.
He slipped it behind the Europe map, next to our page on Greece.
This is an easy way to introduce geography to elementary students as it only took a few minutes.
