Social Studies: Maps & Communities.

We are working on map skills and examining different types of communities. Students have learned about how communities can be different (rural, urban and suburban).  Students have also discussed and debated what is important in a community and what is not.  Relating it to wants and needs, students are working together to create their own community in small groups.  It's truly amazing to hear them work out the specifics and build this community together. Each group has different ideas and are developing it in their own way. Students continue to practice working together and problem solving. Enjoy some photos from their experience!
