This activity is based on the book, Me on the Map, by Joan Sweeney. This idea is not original. I saw it on the web, and decided to put my own spin on it to do with my class. Included you will find everything you need to make a flip book, as well as vocabulary words to put on your word wall.

I made these so students can simply color in a smiley face for each day they work on their goals. They come in color and blackline. I have also
