blessed2fosteradopt Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Hi all: I am looking for laminated world and USA maps that would be appropriate for PK-K. I need something that won't exceed 32" in length. I want something fun and colorful. I am also looking for a pocket type learning calendar. Thanks for all your suggestions. Blessings, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranberry Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 we have a hanging pocket calendar from lakeshore. I love it. We have it hanging on the side of the fridge, with the 3M removable hooks. It's easy to make your own cards to put in special days for your family. I make cards for saints feast days or play dates. Here's a link.... http://www.lakeshorelearning.com/seo/ca|productSubCat~~p|LC1198~~f|/Assortments/Lakeshore/ShopByCategory/pocketchartsactivitywalls/viewall.jsp Also you can sign up for their "teacher" card and you'll probably get a coupon or sale notice to get it cheaper.

Dmmetler Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Check the displays of educational placemats at various stores. In past years, there have been nice, bright map ones at Target in the $1 section during the Back to School season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommee & Baba Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I just picked up a poster style USA map. I know it's much bigger than you were probably thinking and some of the styles aren't laminated. I picked it up at The Dollar Tree. Might want to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zookeeperof3 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I bought a pocket chart ( you can use w/ cards for calendar, I use mine for counting) in Target's dollar section last year. I also found there small placemat sized laminated maps of USA & world. Wall maps too. I love Targets dollar section! They usually start putting those things out just after July 4th weekend.

Guest aquiverfull Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 For the calendar idea, you must check this out: http://smoothstonesacademy.blogspot.com/2010/01/our-homemade-preschool-board.html Jennifer's preschool board is really cool. I plan to make one for this coming school year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mims Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Sonlight has a large markable map - US on one side and world on other - and a great calendar with stickers etc. Check their site for both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Target has small pocket charts in their $1 section. I'll bet you could use them to make a calendar pretty easily. I have six of them in our play/school room that I use for all sorts of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
