Over the next several weeks, we will be examining maps as we continue to look at Interactions in our community. We have studied several types of maps, and are learning about key features such as a compass rose and map key. Later we will incorporate topography and map grids.
Also, we are preparing "Squishyland" as our mock community. Each Shark has their own business (a lemonade stand, a post office, an art store, a labratory, an airport, police station and library). The students are earning salaries to use in their store. As they are designing their store fronts, they are thinking about what their businesses need, and how to advertise store hours and prices. One student is creating a newspaper about the new businesses in town.
