Mapping

This week we have been learning about the parts of a map, such as symbols, labels, key, Compass Rose and title. We read a great book by Loreen Leedy called "Mapping Penny's World".  Then today we made maps of the things on our desk tops. The kids were surprised at how precise their maps needed to be in order for others to use it correctly! 

Book Share

Last week, our class shared the teaching books they have been working so hard on with their buddies. The 5th and 6th graders were really impressed!
