Georgia, Sweet Georgia...

Literally...Sweet Georgia =)

For the past 2 weeks we have been learning about the five GA regions and major rivers. To conclude the unit, we made a sugar cookie map of Georgia! The kids LOVED it! Each student had a turn to do something with the map (icing, rivers, putting candy on, "sanding" the coast, labeling, etc). It turned out really cute and my teacher took it all around the 2nd grade hall showing it off =) I'm using the above picture to make a map key activity for the students and then we will be all finished with this unit. I've learned a lot about GA in the past few weeks since I am not from here and never had to take GA history. What a fun day in 2nd grade!


In the background you can see the hershey's kisses for the Blue Ridge Mountain region and there are mini-marshmallows (high and flat) for the Appalachian Plateau, licorice for the Fall Line, and brown sugar for the sand on the coast. Fun!
