The Giant Traveling Map of Colorado Visits Franktown Elementary
"Our kids loved being able to have the Giant Map of Colorado here at our school. We had 21 class visits in our (3) day time frame. We would love to have it for a full week next year, if possible. I have attached photos of two of our 4th grade classes who would love to be able to do a lesson a day for a week. I introduced the map to all classes with the scavenger hunt which was quite useful and a good starting point. There is one picture that includes me and one of my students in marking the Continental Divide with a red chain. In the same picture the blue chain is marking the Colorado River. The teachers then took it deeper with the Elevation and Cardinal direction lessons, lots of measuring and scale directives," says Elizabeth.
Thank you for sharing your pictures and visit! We would love to hear what is happening in all of the libraries. Please share your photos and information with idc-questions@dcsdk12.org.
We are THANKFUL for our VOLUNTEERS!
