For the field trip itself, we will be walking around the school block and mapping out what we see. You will be helping the students make observations about the elements of the block and determining which ones need to be included on a map. On this walk students will create a rough draft of a block map, which they will use to make a final draft. This is a chance for all of our students to be cartographers for the community we live in.
Permission slips will go out tomorrow, along with a permission slip for the MCA on the 14th of October. Both trips are free so you just have to sign and return the forms. Below is a copy of the walking trip slip in case it doesn't make it home.
