April 15

Today was Fresh Air Friday. We did mapping around our neighborhood. We each had a map of the neighborhood and we went for a walk to find landmarks. Then we added the landmarks to our maps. Some of our landmarks were: the green space, Mrs. Mitchell's house, the "mitten" tree (it is a round tree that looks like a mitten), the path to the green space, the path to the alleyway, David's house, Aiden's house, Dominic's house, Barrett Park, Teia's aunt's house, and Dr. Coffin School.

We learned that if you add landmarks to your map you can use it to figure out where you are and find your way if you are lost. We discovered that following a map and keeping track of where you are can be kind of tricky and takes practice.

After we finished our walk we came inside and used our pencil crayons to add the colour and some details to our maps. We had a really nice time walking around our neighborhood. We even broke out in song as we were walking up Barrett Drive!
