Where is Kansas?
This Kindergarten-oriented Nearpod lesson can be teacher led or self-paced for students. The lesson is a virtual adaptation of our Read Kansas! lessons P-1: Living in Kansas Today, P-2: Where is Kansas?, and P-3: Kansas Symbols Bingo. Students will learn how to find Kansas on a map and how to write the word "Kansas." Students will learn to recognize the difference between rural and urban environments. Students will be introduced to eight Kansas symbols through short expository texts that are read to students.
