We have been studying about maps and their different features that help us read them. Yesterday we worked on understanding the compass rose and the directions north, south, east and west. We headed outside and used the compass app on my phone to identify the directions and then we practice them by running north, east, south and west! We also identified different playground equipment that was north, south, east or west of where we were standing. We then jumped on Google Maps and mapped out different routes to places close and far from us and talked about which directions we would have to travel to get there.
