CMAP Class ~ Day 2
We did a fun project today using the GPS that I want to use with my students. We took our units out to the football field and mapped out our names. We had to decide if we wanted cursive or block letters and then we had to figure out where to start. We walked out the path of our letters. I think this would be a great introduction to the GPS unit and empower kids to know they can make their mark on the world without defacing it.
I really enjoyed hearing from the community partners. I think there would be a lot of support for teachers and students that wanted to try cmap. I mean how could you turn down a kid trying to improve his/her community.
Other than that, I felt like there wasn't enough to do today and we spent a lot of time sitting around in a very hot classroom. I think the day should be shorter or we should do more.
