We are ready for mapping! Next week we will kick things off with looking at maps online of Ohio, the United States and the world! It should be fun to locate various countries of interest to them, as well as some fun spots they may have visited. I will also show Google Maps and introduce directions. We are going to pretend that we need directions to Chicago to visit my sister. I will talk about personal experiences (getting lost-finally after 11 years knowing how to get there with my eyes closed..:) For a few days we will dig into directions, talking about the words we use (directional words like left, right, forward, backward). Then we will use those words to help us with new directional words like North, South, East, West (compass rose). We will give directions orally to partners and try to get around the school/room. Then we will start to write down our directions. Thursday, they will get with a partner and see if they can come up with the correct route to UDF. We will pull together whole group and come up with a class set of directions. And the fun part...we will use those directions on Friday to walk to UDF!! If they are super good, I'll buy them some prepackaged ice cream!
