Imagine you were given some paper, a marker and some glue and asked to create a map of the world, labeling the continents and oceans. How would you do without looking at a map or being able to use scissors?
Well, that is the challenge that your 4th graders were faced with this afternoon! Over the next few weeks we will be working on some basic geography and map reading skills. To begin our study of that, I wanted to see just how much the kids knew about the placement of the continents on our globe, but more importantly, I wanted to see how well they could work in a group. I was truly impressed with the maps the kids created and the way that they worked with one another.
