Good Morning Kindergarten! Today we are going to talk a
little bit about maps. A map is a picture of part of the world. Maps show what
the land looks like from above, as if you were looking down from an airplane or
flying over like a bird. Let’s read Me on the Map to learn more about
maps. https://youtu.be/21keh7LS8K8
Here is a little more detailed information about how to use
and make maps. You can watch just the first two and a half minutes of this
video, the end of it gets more into first grade learning about compasses and
measuring to make maps.
This next video for today talks about a special kind of map,
the globe. The globe is a map that shows our whole earth. It is shaped like a
sphere because earth is also a sphere.
Finally, whether we are using maps or just giving directions
we need to know many different positional words to describe where to go. Check
out this fun song about following directions.
For today’s activity, I would like for you to draw a map of
your room like the little girl in Me on the Map. Don’t worry about
measuring or getting everything in the right place, just try to remember to
draw things from above as if you took the roof off your house and looked down
inside.
