D2.Geo.6.K-2, under Geography for Kindergarten to Grade 2. The published indicator reads: “Identify some cultural and environmental characteristics of specific places.” The worksheet assesses that indicator rather than a paraphrase of it.

Does Songs About the American Land come with an answer key?
Yes. All 6 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
How many different versions of Songs About the American Land can I print?
