We had fun investigations last week as we began to look into maps and the idea of navigation. Students strongly connected with using a compass rose, a legend, and orientating themselves while using a map. This led our class to look at the broader globe and compare where we are located to that of other continents.

Next week we will build off of this comparison and look at our own addresses, neighborhoods, towns, states, countries, continents, all the way to our planet in the Milky Way. Ah, the wonders of investigations.

Have fun hearing about maps.
