California Regions

This week my class wrapped up our learning of the four main regions of California by making these bean maps.  My grade level does these every year. We used rice, pinto/kidney beans, split peas, and popcorn kernels to represent the coast, mountain, central valley and desert areas.

  4. Love this idea. The one I've done is so much bigger and takes the class awhile to do. The plate gives it additional support for all the items.

  7. My daughter just learned about the California regions in class and has not stopped talking about it, which led me to your blog. I was google searching wanting to teach her more ( I'm just a mom, not a school teacher ) about the California regions. I am SO excited that I can visit your blog to help reinforce what she has already learned.
