This week, third graders at Francis Wyman have been learning how to read and create maps. Each class has been rotating around the third grade classes to make a part of their Burlington map.
In Mrs. O'Neill's class: Each student has a chance to design their own compass rose. Students have been learning about the cardinal directions and how to use them when looking at a map.
In Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Zani's classes: Students are working to create the map's legend and scale. We have also been practice using a legend or scale to help us better understand the map we are reading.
In Mrs. Boucher's class: Students are writing the title to the map (neatly) and adding the bordering city/ towns.
In Mrs. Goguen's Class: Students are adding the landmarks and geographical features to the map.
Next week our cartographers will finish up the coloring and put the map together. We will also have our Burlington Historical Tour field trip next week to go see some of the landmarks from the map.
Come back soon to see pictures of the finshed product!
