2: Learning Highlight

Grade 2 is currently in their "Chocolate" unit. The geography goals of the unit are focused on the ability to interpret maps of familiar and unfamiliar places, including digital maps. These goals include being able to identify relevant data, describe geographic features, and explaining how human activities can impact geography. Today, the grade 2 students were provided a map of the Miyagi area and they had to navigate their way to the Sunabe community Center. This activity challenged their understanding of the information found on maps, orientation, landmark identification, and more! The students were able to find their way to the Community Center and back - applying their knowledge, skills, and understanding along the way!
