Description
North America A-Z Montessori Pack
This collection of printable activities can be used to supplement your unit on North America. It is suitable for PreK-1 but can easily be adapted for 2nd and 3rd grades as well. It features photographs and easy to read font. If you are a Montessori teacher, this will really round out your continent boxes and unit studies!
In all of my Continent A-Z packs, I have tried hard to provide a wide range of representative photographs in order to give students a sense of the luscious, rich diversity of our beautiful planet. In addition, not only do these packs represent the diversity of the continent, but they also represent each letter of the alphabet!
The photos are of things ranging from animals and plants to biomes to clothing and food and sports. I often show iconic things like cowboys as well as average day to day things such as a child playing baseball. I do my best to avoid stereotypical images and try to touch upon many different regions and cultures within the continent.
The activities in this pack are designed to be used by individuals or in small groups. You can use these card materials to introduce the continent of North America to your students and then place them on the shelf or in centers for the children to explore. Montessori classrooms will be familiar with the use of most of these activities such as the 3-part cards and the “parts-of” nomenclature cards.
These printables work particularly well in a writing center. Students can examine the photos and write lists or reports about what they see. Younger students will enjoy matching the photographs and learning new vocabulary. This is also a fantastic pack to add to your letter work. Once a student has learned the vocabulary, have him sort by initial letter/sound.
