Today in Room 5, we continued the map-themed project. The
kids were given maps cut into different shapes and sizes. The maps ranged from
depicting part of the city to the entire world. The kids glued the pieces down
any way they wished. Some lined up lines on the map, some used the shapes to
create people, and some made collages of all the different colors of the maps. The
two boys who I was working with were sorting the maps by color. They realized
that they had two similar pieces that each had a bold letters. They recognized
the similarities and lined up the pieces so that it read Mexico. We read quite a few books today, some that I had forgotten
from my own childhood! Reading to kids is fun because of how responsive they
are. They are always listening and enthralled no matter what book it is. When a
picture of the characters comes up they always point to their favorite and go, “that
one is me!”
