Maps Away!

Grade 2 has recently begun a new POI titled, “A Sense of Europe”.  We started by asking ourselves, where is Europe?  What is Europe?  Each member of the class was then given a blank sheet of paper and attempted to make a map of Europe.  The finished maps were very insightful.  Afterwards, we examined a real map of Europe and discussed the definition of a continent.  The class then proceeded to examine the individual countries in Europe.  Did you know there are 42 countries in the continent of Europe?  Plus, an additional five countries that are in both Europe and Asia.  That’s a lot for a small continent!  We then began to learn about the different parts of a map, including title, compass rose, symbol, scale and legend.  By the end of our POI, there is no doubt Grade 2 will have a true sense of Europe.
