Community I: Maps and Compasses

October 29, 2009

For this lesson (and the next several), we met at Lynn's house, where the kids talked about the kinds of things you find in a community: stores, schools, doctors, libraries, parks, and lots of people. Lynn then talked about maps and how one orients oneself relative to a map. She showed everyone the cool trick of how to make your own compass:

Rub a pin on a magnet



And float it on a cork - easy!



Then everyone got to make their own maps.




Lily's:


Fiona's (I think?):

Jack's:


Spencer's - he drew a map of Angel stadium:



Caiden's:



Sarah's (yes, Lynn?):


We finished up the game with a round of compass tag. Whee!
