Maps

In Social Studies we are studying maps. Students are learning not only cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) but they are also learning how to use a map key to find places. Most students are picking up on this concept pretty easily. However, there are things you can do to extend their learning. If you have a road map or atlas at home, allow your student time to explore it. Or have your child draw you a map of your home or neighborhood. We are not so worried about dimensions as the map key and cardinal directions.
