Map Project



Today your child is bringing home the directions for our first big project.  We have been learning about maps, directions, and features that can be found on maps.  It might be helpful to drive around in your neighborhood or community with your child, to allow them to sketch or take notes and make a rough draft before beginning on the poster board.  We will send home the poster board on Friday, 9/27.  Here are a couple of examples that might help your child get started. One of them is a community map, and the other is a neighborhood map.

The Museum of Arts and Sciences

We had a great time on our first field trip!  We learned about planets, animals, the water cycle, and explored many concepts with this hands-on field trip.

Be sure to check our newsletter today for lots of details in 2nd grade!  Many of you may need to "allow" Adobe Flash on your computer for your child to practice the states.  The site is:
www.sheppardsoftware.com and a link is on the right side of the blog under Map Practice.  Our test is tomorrow and they will have a word bank with the state names.  We enjoyed sharing and learning about these states with the interesting objects brought in for today's State In A Bag!
