We've been exploring, interpreting, and making a TON of maps over the past few weeks!  We've learned to use a compass rose, symbols, and grids to better understand a variety of maps.

Our final mapping activity requires each student to create a map of his/her bedroom.  Directions, examples, and materials were sent home in folders on Tuesday.  The finished products should be returned to school by Tuesday, May 16!

Students have been hard at work publishing stories for the first grade writing celebration.  On Friday we paired up with students from other first grade classrooms to share our final drafts!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mamas out there!  We appreciate you!
