circle maps galore...

We are a school who LOVES Thinking Maps!

We use thinking maps for EVERYTHING! 

Circle maps are so easy to implement into your lessons.  It is a great organizational tool for whatever you are teaching.  Here are a few I just found "hanging around!!"

For Kindergarden, Ms. Smith made a scarecrow hat to be her "circle"
to find ways to describe scarecrows!

A really cool way to describe money and all the ways to help to remember!

We are studying graphs this week in Math.

How about a circle map to help us know why graphs are important to us and how they are used everyday!

We read some great books about pumpkins...

a book about a lonely scarecrow...

books about "some lady" who swallowed some leave and a bat...

imagine that!!

We also read about The Leaf man.

We each made our own leaf man.

We wrote some great stories about where our leaf man would go if he could tell us about it.

Well, a leaf man's got to go where the wind blows.
