Task 2

I would choose to modify Strategy 7 on Developing Map Skills for my Pre-K classroom.  I think it would be interesting to have my students design their own maps of their homes and their communities.  I would love to see what it looks like in their minds.  I would start them out by showing them how I would make a map of our classroom related to our school.  They could then related to the immediate area outside.  I am sure that I would have to help most of my children draw their images, but having them dictate what they see would be very interesting.  They could work with their parents and create a map of their home so that we could put it on a school map of our area.  I would show them some local maps and areas both on paper and online.  They could create their map at home and then we could combine them all into one.  This might give them an idea of distance as well as the area of a community.  Sounds like it might be fun, as well as very interesting.
