Daily Idea #81: Where Do We Fit?

It can be very difficult even for us as adults to understand just how big and vast the world is; imagine how kids view their place sometimes.

In our house, at the beginning of the school year ever year, we do this activity to try and comprehend where we fit in the universe by starting small and step by step working our way out to the macro.

We start by cutting out a square from construction paper that is about 2”X2”. This is the “ME” page.

For each subsequent square add an inch to the square (so this next square is 3”X3”. This is the “HOUSE NUMBER” page.)

The next square is for your street name, then your city, your county, your state, your country, the world, and finally the galaxy.
