Yummy Maps!

Who knew maps could be so much fun??  Well, when you make yummy edible maps, everyone is excited!  We have been studying maps for the past few weeks in Social Studies.  We are practicing reading maps, following directions on maps, learning about the map keys, etc.  On Friday, we created our own maps with the candy coded map key.  Then we got to enjoy our creation!

David and Maxwell were very excited to get started!

Rufus's map is looking great!

The purple group is busy creating their maps.

The green group was very excited to begin.

The yellow group's maps are looking great.

Here's the orange group getting their maps started.

The red group has their maps started too!

Lew's map looks delicious!

Jillian's map has a nice pond in the middle.

Elias's map has several mountains and roads.

Trevor, Taylor, and Benjamin have their maps ready.

After we talked about our maps with our groups, we did of course get to eat them!  We all loved this part.

Thank you to all the parents who sent in items for us to use in the creation of our maps.  You guys are wonderful!  A big thanks also to Mrs. O'Shields and Mrs. Hawkins for helping me get this project setup and under way in the classroom.
