Cartography

Our third grade students have completed the famous Burlington map-making project.  Although this lesson has been done for many years, this year we have decided to make the maps without the help of the visiting cartographer.  Students rotated between the 5 classrooms to work on small parts of the map.  Once each part is complete, we will put together the final map.
In Mrs. O'Neill's class students were able to design their own Compass Rose.
Mrs. Browne and Mrs. Zani taught students how to create a legend and scale for their map.
Mrs. Boucher helped students to add a title and the bordering town lines into the map.
Mrs. Goguen helped student to place land features on the maps with symbols from the legend.
This week, we will finished placing landmarks on the page after visiting them on our field trip.
Now they are colored, put together, laminated, and ready for the "Wyman Way!" If you are in the building, make sure you check them out!

Proud of our hard work!
