LANDFORM LEARNING BULLETIN BOARD



Materials:
1. Make definition sets and photo/pictures for the Bulletin Board, using landforms you are studying:
ALBUQUERQUE - a community where we live, work, and play!
CANYON - a deep valley with steep sides.
FOREST - a large area of land covered with trees and other plants.
RIVER - a long body of water that flows over land.
MOUNTAIN - a high area of land with steep sides and a sharp peak.
VALLEY - an area of low land between mountains or hills.
MESA - a raised area with steep sides and a large flat top.
DESERT - a region of little rainfall where few plants and animals live.
2. Have paper clips near each landform. Students choose a name of a landform in your area and clips it next to the picture/definition on the board: Manzano Mountains, Sandia Mountains, Rio Grand River, West Mesa, Sandia National Forest, Tijeras Canyon, North Valley, South Valley.
3. As you are teaching about landforms you can refer to the Learning Bulletin Board. Make sure you mention that once you name a landform you need to capitalize it because it is a proper name.
4. Make sure your spelling list for the week includes landforms and names.
5. You can extend to a writing project and include drawing a landform for art.
