Compass and Map Skills

Today was a crazy day with finishing testing, getting sub plans done, and getting everything organized for our first Eaglettes practice. BUT I did it and we got through it! Today I introduced map skills with reading the book 'Map On My Lap' by Dr Seuss (which is awesome for a map skills introduction!) We also read 'Me on the Map' which will lead us into making our 'Zoom' books next week! After the book, the students made a giant compass rose and practiced map coordinate skills on our SmartBoard. We practiced how to read a grid on a map and how to enter coordinates of objects on a grid.
