Over the last week, besides phonics and math, Jem has been making a community map. We drew out roads and Jem named them. He gave me a list of places in a community that he wanted on his map. Fire Station, Airport, Gym, Church, Library, Police, Hospital, Grocery Store ect...
I also read the story 'Tashira's Turn' out loud to the children, and they enjoyed hearing how each person in Tashira's town helped others. And in the end it is Tashira's turn to help!
I had that book when I was younger, I loved the stories in it. This looks like a fabulous project! I like how Jem chose so many important places to include on his map. I can tell he did a lot of hard work on this.
