Map Library Center
I saw this pin today about a felt globe, and placing felt continents on it.
At Living Montessori Now, you can find the directions for making this center. I know that our students would love the feel of the felt as they place the continents onto the blue globe.
However….
I don’t really want to spend all the time drawing the continents onto different colors of felt and then cutting them out. I could spend all that time reading instead!
Here is my solution for a felt map center:
You can purchase this felt/flannel map set from Amazon. It looks like you still have to cut out the states. But I could do that on Sunday evenings while I’m watching Downton Abbey, right? Or I could outsource it to a fifth grader with excellent fine motor skills.
This is definitely going on my Amazon wish list!
Life is not everlasting. Of course, this is a well known fact, but do we often remember about it? How can we understand the meaning of life staying at the same place? They say if you don’t like the place where you are – move, you’re not a tree after all. By the same principle, I want to say that traveling – is an important component of fulfilling life. Let’s not waste life for nothing but explore this wonderful earth glob! It remains to start moving, just click world’s places of interest and you will see all the riches of our world which are near to us. Very often various natural anomalies are just round the corner, but we can’t find time for such rest. Start reading not fashion books but brochures with tourist routes. A illustrious poem says “What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare…” Let’s change our life!
