Extend students' application of cardinal directions by using Kidspiration.
Objectives
- Students will recognize cardinal directions within the classroom.
Procedure
- Open a new Kidspiration document. Have students label the north, south, east and west sides of their document.
- Next, direct them to look through the picture libraries for pictures of objects they can find in their classsroom, such as chalkboard, computers, books, etc.
- When they find a picture, they should drag it to the appropriate area on their document. For example, if a bookshelf is located in the north side of the classroom, students should drag it to that area in their document.
