Mapping stories and other mapsThis week we are taking inspiration from National Geographic education program. The boys wanted to do some treasure hunting. First we need to know how to read a map. We are learning about the parts of a map. The compass rose, legend and the scale. We began with creating maps of our own neighbourhoods. Then the map for several stories including Curious George. The boys made their own characters too.
We followed a map to find a treasure if stickers. I hide a heart shaped tin around campus then the boys follow directions to find the treasure. We were reading the story "The Giving Tree" when we found out Geo-cache is a Métis tradition. Maybe we will team up with the Seniors so we can find and hide the treasure. Even follow the Métis tradition of take something and leave something for the next group. Written by S Robitaille.
