• First graders map the school
    Wednesday, May 22, 2013
    First graders were busy this morning mapping different parts of the school. In this unit of study, they work in pairs to draw a particular classroom or office at Tenacre. Using a paper template with windows and/or doors identified, their first challenge is to orientate the template to the room and begin to draw a representation of that space. Once finished, each team makes a presentation to fellow classmates about where their room is located on a large Tenacre map. They validate its location by using the cardinal directions and existing key locations already on the map.
