NAP and Mapping

BRRRR...  It was a frigid day in Hubbard Park today. Winter has made its presence back to Vermont this week and first graders experienced it as they traveled through a blizzard via a new route to the park. We traveled Court St. to Course St. to get a bird's eye view of Montpelier. We spent time finding landmarks in our city on the way. INQUIRE with your child how small UES looked from the top of the hill!  Upon arriving in the park via steep and curvy hills, children enjoyed a story and song with Amy. Then students engaged in three centers that introduced them to mapping. Students learned how keys were useful in reading maps, discovered landmarks around the park, and did some creative drawing of maps to their debris shelters. What was your child's favorite center?
