Hello Parents!
My name is Ms. Scupp, and I have been spending time with your first grader this semester as
a practicum student from James Madison University. For one of my assignments I was
required to implement a creative lesson. I chose a lesson where students would create their
own treasure map.
Description of Activity:
Over the last few weeks, Ms. Grim has been teaching your
student about maps during social studies. With maps there
have been three components we have focused on: a title, a
key, and a compass rose. The students also have been learning
about directions. My lesson fell at the end of this unit,
therefore, it was an informal assessment of the students’
knowledge about maps.
