Putting the Map on Grand
Teachers, students, and PTO members at Grand Avenue Elementary recently finished a Fifty Nifty United States project.
They produced a painted outdoor map of the United States.
The concrete was provided for this large outdoor map of the United States by the Grand Avenue PTO. Peaceful Playgrounds stencils and kit were made possible by the Chickasha School Foundation.
Teachers volunteered their time and talent to paint all the states and bordering oceans.
This area of the playground was not being used because old playground equipment had to be removed and the space was trapping water. Now students are able to sing regional songs and walk through each region while working on their states and capitals.
This map will be used school wide to explore geography that is related to every grades Priority Academic Student Skills (PASS) which is Oklahoma’s core curriculum. It is an excellent resource for students to learn outside of the classroom.
