Next week we will continue our mapping study. They are pointing out maps everywhere! They find them in books, our read alouds, nonfiction and many other places. I love that they are making real world connections!! We talked about how we use maps at the zoo, Cedar Point and Kings Island. They did a great job using their real world connections to understanding symbols and what maps show. They will start making their own maps using symbols, compass rose and other directional terms. Together we will create a map of our playground, or a playground since ours is giant!!! And then create their own map of a farm or playground on their own. We will spend some time on Pebble Go, which is a great nOn Thursday, we will use google maps, my GPS on my phone and their background knowledge to write directions to UDF. They will follow those directions (with me!) to UDF on Friday for an ice cream treat! They also have to write directions to get us back to school! We will talk about reversing the directions to help get is back! Should be fun! Keep talking about maps and using any real life opportunities that you can to show them how maps help us in real life! They are doing an awesome job with this concept.
