Where in the World is Miss Nelson?

The children in Room 403 are on the hunt for Miss Nelson!  In Social Studies, our second graders have been learning about maps and directions.  After reading the story, Miss Nelson is Missing, my students created a map of Miss Nelson's town with directions for finding her!

 First, the children were placed into groups and began planning
                                  their maps. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then, they were ready to start drawing their town maps!  They couldn't forget to include the compass rose!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, the finishing stages!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are the finished products!

Each group had to write directions to find Miss Nelson.  Here is an example...

 

 

 

My children are absolutely amazing!  I love seeing their creativity and their ideas unfold with each project! 

 

I hope everyone has a wonderful break.  My children definitely deserve some time off with their families!  

 

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving!
