Map of the US of A

Sunil has completed his map of the states. In typical Montessori fashion, each state was traced on to construction paper using a template. The shape is then "cut" out using s straight pin to punch holes around the perimeter until the shape drops free. The shape is then glued in the appropriate spot within the outline of the US which they have traced on to a large piece of paper. The individual state names are then cut out of a list and glued into their correct spots. Sunil can now identify more than 20 states without having to search for/read the names (he can also read the names). The finished product looks pretty sharp.
