Where+Do+I+Live+Reinforcing+Activity

__**Objective:**__ Students will be able to identify the locations they live in from a small and large scale perspective as well as what makes each of those locations unique.

__**Materials:**__
 * Book, //Where Do I Live?//
 * Paper for a flip book for each student
 * Coloring materials

__**Procedure:**__ Start off by reading the students the book //Where Do I Live//. Engage the students in the book by relating it to where they are located in the town, city, state, country, and world. Emphasize that we have a specific location in the world, but there is much more outside where we live.

After reading the book, have the students think about where they are located based on discussion. Each student should think about where they are located based on their: - house - city - state - country - continent - planet

The students will make a flip book. On the first smaller page they wil start by drawing their room, then on the next bigger page they will draw their house. As the pages get bigger they will draw their city, state, country, continent, and eventually planet on the biggest page. They will label each page, and add a description about what makes it unique.

At the end of this activity, they will have a flip book of pages that go from small to large, and they will be able to visually see that we have a specific location in a larger location.
