Making Maps Part Of Life
After that initial lesson, we wove maps into everything from history to geography to science to a trip to grandma’s house. We hung a world map and a United States map on my son’s wall. There were atlases and maps in the book basket. Whenever we read about a new place, we found it on one of our maps. When we took a field trip, we mapped out a route before we left and followed along on the map on our way. Maps were just part of life. My children are teens now and you can still find maps in the glove box of our car. Although we do use Google Maps, we do break out the paper map from time to time to get the big picture or just to be sure. When we plan a travel hockey trip or vacation out of state, the kids know that there will be maps of each state along the way and we will use those maps.
