During the first trimester, we have been learning a lot about maps. We learned that maps show places and can help us figure out where to go. After learning about the four main directions of North, South, East, and West we read the book, Rosie's Walk by Pat Hutchins. In the story, Rosie walks all over the barnyard before returning home. Using the compass rose, we wrote our own stories. Everyone worked in groups of 4-5 kids and shared the work. They used the map key and compass rose to complete their sentences to help tell the story of their character's walk. It was such a fun and interactive way to work on mapping skills!
