Students will learn about maps and globes, how we use them and how they are made. Students will learn about how maps can show us where to find what we need--whether walking or driving to our destination, or to learn about our own community and the wide world around us.  Students will be able to identify symbols, keys, compass rose, and other important map elements, and will observe and recreate them in hands-on activities.  Students will learn about the ways we are able to navigate new journeys using maps, and how we can record what we've discovered and explored by creating them on our own.  Students will learn new vocabulary words related to the topic as well as interesting new facts.

I'm so excited to share my love of exploring and making maps with you!  I've been teaching STEAM topics like maps to preschool through middle school for 6 years through an independent STEAM education company, and I'm really looking forward to connecting with new students here on Outschool.  Not only will we be learning about maps, globes, and finding our way--but we'll sneak in some colors, numbers and math, comparing and contrasting, observation, movement and more--all things that preK, kindergartners and 1st graders love to learn and practice!

Homework will be assigned on a weekly basis, but will be optional.  Assignments will be used as a way to reinforce lesson material and to allow students to explore the topics in greater detail based on their own interests.  Research, drawing, and fact-finding will be incorporated into these assignments, which will be shared and discussed at the beginning of the next class.
