This week we are working on developing our communities with our friends in Mrs. Lai's class! After spending time researching urban, suburban and rural areas, we picked one to develop. Next, we learned how to create a basic map for our community using a compass rose, map key (legend) and symbols.
Once our maps were completed, we used clay to create a concrete model of our communities. Tomorrow, we will be doing a gallery walk to see what other students worked on.
In social studies, we are continuing to compare the past with the present. Today we completed a sort on this topic. Tomorrow, we will be debating whether it is better to live now or live 100 years ago.
