Where do you want to go?

We have a large map of Webster Groves in our classroom. The children's faces show what street 

their house is on and where Ambrose is located. 

                         Some noticings have included:

               "She lives a little bit farther from school." -CS

         "I live right by Morgan. He has a dad house and a mom house." -DJ

                  "I'm doing a shortcut." -CS 

As children investigated the map, the teacher asked the question, "Tell me how you get there." 

 

          "First, I need to go straight, then right, over here, more straight, and then you turn

             that way, and then at Layla's house." -MR

    "If I turn this way, keep going straight, I go down and 

       up, up, all the way and then turn this way, train 

        tracks, and then stop right here." -CG
