Description
This Grade 1 geography lesson helps students understand maps, locations, and cardinal directions. Using a local example (Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge), students explore North, South, East, and West through maps and outdoor observation. They identify physical features like bodies of water and practice locating places on a map. Hands-on activities, discussion, and drawing tasks support understanding, helping students connect geography concepts to their real-world surroundings.
