These materials will make a difference in my students' learning because they will allow them to see and visualize our world and the countries that are in it. We study all parts of the world throughout most content areas and many students have a hard time with the information because the concrete background knowledge of that location is not yet obtained.
I am going to use the globe, passports, push pins, and foam maps to start off our school year and introduce my students to the amazing world that they live in while setting up a theme for the year. I am going to use the TOOB animals and landmarks to build Montessori-style continent boxes at a fourth grade level. The TOOB pieces will add real life visuals to what the students can discover in the box. Finally, I am going to use the Ticket to Ride and Carmen Sandiego games to give my students an opportunity to have fun with what they are learning about the world.
