Our Community: Mapping


     One of our themes this week is "community."  We have discussed our community, its members, occupations, and maps.  Yesterday, we read the book, Me on the Map by Joan Sweeney. In this story, a little girl uses different maps to find her place in the world, country, state, town, house, and even her room!  


     Today, we collectively made a map of a town.  The children colored, cut, and glued the pieces on to our big map.  They together decided where the pieces should go. It was a great exercise in classroom community to work together on such a large project!
