Social Studies

This unit is all about maps.  We started with learning about road maps and finding things on maps.  We each got our own maps.  They were grid maps and we found things of interest in Chicago.  We also found places in Illinois.  We learned about a compass rose, cardinal directions and intermediate directions too.  We studied lots of map keys and then we got to design our own maps.  We are finishing them today!  We took a map quiz too.  Next week we are starting science again.  We will be learning about matter.
