A top-down map of a kindergarten classroom anchors this 2-page labeling sheet, titled A Map of the Classroom. Students write a word from the bank on each blank line: Window, Desk, Bookshelf, Door, or Rug. The map shows the room from above, with five parts marked A to E. It supports C3 Framework D2.Geo.2.K-2, and the answer key gives the label for letters A to E.
D2.Geo.2.K-2
“Use maps, graphs, photographs, and other representations to describe places and the relationships and interactions that shape them.”
The labeling task, where students read a map of a familiar room and name what each shape stands for.
Five words in one row: Window, Desk, Bookshelf, Door, and Rug.
A bird's-eye view of a classroom with five parts marked. Students write the correct word on the blank line that points to each one.
A is the door, B the rug, C a desk, D the bookshelf, and E the window.
Bird's-eye demo
Before the sheet, hold a toy desk over a piece of paper and trace around it. Students see why a desk becomes a rectangle on a map.
Label the real room
Put sticky notes with the five words around your own classroom. Students find each one, then look for it on the map.
Next step
Once labels are done, ask students to draw where they sit. It is a short bridge to making their own classroom map.
