Maps, Maps, and More Maps!

The students really enjoyed finding their way around the school during the following recent activities:
1) our recent passport activity with our gr. 7/8 Big Buddies (visiting different countries and learning about this destinations through QR codes)
2) the hunt with our gr. 7/8 Big Buddies for the Seven Natural Wonders Of The World (using a school map)
3) the hunt for animals from Guatemala.
These activities lead into the idea of following directions and mapping.  Recently the JK/SK students have really enjoyed sending their peers on hunts within our school. They came up with the idea of designing a path for their classmates to follow and taping large Xs up in the school at the final destination.


Making treasure maps was also a popular activity
