As a reminder, these maps should be drawn on a sheet of 8.5 x 11 inch paper, that was supplied in last Tuesday envelope, then colored to reflect various items in your child's room. Please help your child label the larger items such as a bed, dresser, table, toy box, etc.
Thanks again for helping our students gain a better understanding of map making.

Be sure to ask your child about reading Grandma's Button Box at school. After reading this book, we learned four ways to sort objects: by color, size, shape, and number of button holes. We also played sorting games on the SMART Board, sorting buttons into categories.
