Maps

Today with Mother Goose Time we learned about maps.  We're still on vacation so I shortened the lesson just a bit. The lesson started with the introduction of the color of the month, orange.  We used the world map and painted items orange, and then went on an orange hunt around the house.
We also read the provided book of the month, A Ride For Duck.  Me on the Map is anther great book to use when learning about maps and addresses, but unfortunately I forgot it at home.
The girls worked on the cover of their my little journals, which we use all month long.  They also completed a maze on the back.
The girls looked at real maps and we looked at the states we will be driving through when we go home in a few days.  They used blocks to build roads and houses and  the plane and train manipulatives provided this month.
A couple of weeks ago Addie created a map of our town and added friends houses and businesses we go to, so I decided not to have them create new map.
