Today in Social Studies we reviewed what a compass rose is and it's use on a map. I blew the dust off our pull down maps and the students were in awe...you would have thought it was a new technological devise but better. No wires, pens, cursor or batteries. We followed up with a giant floor puzzle of the United States. Using several maps I encouraged them to team up to name states and use new vocabulary; north, south, east and west. Piece by piece; state by state and rotation after rotation they all worked together and added to their work. They completed!
