The past few weeks have seen an incredible increase in map making. I always enjoy seeing an idea take hold of someone and then ignite interest in others! The positive side of competition is when children push themselves to create or do something meaningful that they have seen someone else doing.
YMB (3yrs) and EH (4yrs) are working side by side punching out continents. EH worked much more quickly and went on to paint the oceans later that day:
SP (4 1/2yrs) had never tried to make a map, but after seeing the other (younger) children doing it, he decided to try it. He completed hi entire map in one day!
RM (6 yrs) had not worked in geography for quite a while. Seeing the increased activity sparked something in her and she decided to make a map of North America, complete with labels:
YS (3 1/2 yrs) also noticed all of the map work this past week and decided he wanted to make a punch map of North America:
