i visited the site about feeding hungry children so they have the desire to learn

I think this is very important.. so read this.

I looked at the "Fill the cup" site and thought that it was a great program. I wish I could help! Now I realize how much food can affect children's ability to learn.

Examples of Map Legends and Map Symbols (Plus Creative Tips and Project Ideas!)

Creative tips and projects for teaching students about legends (keys) on a map: 1.

With some reassuring, they proceeded and did just fine.  This activity is a perfect back-to-school or sub-day activity. It required very little prep and materials.
