In Social Studies, we're learning about mapping. To kick the off the unit, our class used Google Maps to navigate their way around the Clairlea community. They learned how the expression Never Eat Shredded Wheat will help them remember directions on the compass. Theron suggested Never Eat Sour Watermelon. I like that too! We looked at features of the Clairlea community and talked about the words "urban," "rural," and "suburban."
It didn't take long for students to figure out the compass and head east from Clairlea P.S. to the Cineplex Odeon cinema.
This budding cartographer found Japan on the map and took the class into the streets of Tokyo. Cool!
More to come...
