Maps!

To further the children's inquiry into our community maps, I placed the map on a table with magnifying glasses (the numbers are quite small). I wrote all of the children's house numbers on a card, and they tried to find those house numbers on the map.  This allows them to practice their number recognition and number matching, as well as exploring more of our community map!



One of the comments that the children were saying was "there are a lot of P's on the map!" We discussed what a P on the map meant (parking) and they were talking about how many places we have to park here!

The block area has been very busy these days!  Hamudi was busy building, and even incorporated different tools to help him build.
