The Kindergarten Mapping Unit

The Kindergarten students in Room 40 work together on a mapping unit. They gather information about their neighborhood and create first a flat, then a three-dimensional map. The pictures are from 2003.

Below are the flat maps of Portland. Using a bird's eye perspective, the students placed their address and home on the map, then they included other important landmarks.
