Why do we use maps? "Because it tells us what to do and what to see." -LB

The children have been drawing maps as well as having conversations about the globe, how to get 

to their houses, and different places in the world including volcanoes, bees, and water. 

We had the opportunity to interact with the this traveling map in the gym today. 

What do you see?

"The whole world we live in." - CI 

"Maybe Kansas City and Chicago is on it." -RJ

"Maybe the Arch."-JE

 

             "Where is my house?" -RJ 

               "I see Asia." -DC

           "Where is the ocean?" 

   We then tried getting this chain all the way around our state.

        "How long is this chain?" -RJ

   "Let's go this way, turn. I don't think it's going to make it. Follow the 

      black dots." -CI

            'I've been camping here before." -JE

As JB noticed this part of the map, he said, "I wonder if the 

penguins live there because it looks like ice." 

             "Let's go home. This is our home." -LB
