Mapping Homework

Dear Parents,

We are starting a new social studies unit (Depending on Others) this week and as part of the homework students are to make a rough draft map of their neighborhood, approximately mapping a 2-3 block radius around your house. Students are to note on a paper any government buildings, stores (what kind), apartments, parks and any other landmarks that they could put on a map. It would be best if your child could walk around their neighborhood to note these things. For safety reasons it would be best if they could be accompanied by you or an adult guardian. Also if you were to help students find the direction of north so they can use it when we make the final draft in class. Students are only to make a rough draft as homework as we will be making the final draft in class.

Thank you for your support.
