Maps

This week, the fifth graders have been looking at maps in social studies class.  We have discussed poles, hemispheres, and the major lines of latitude and longitude.  We have used scales and compasses to find distance and direction between locations.  We also spent time labeling and coloring the continents and major oceans.  We will continue practicing with latitude and longitude today- pinpointing precise places on the globe.
