We traveled to Hubbard Park via Court St. to Course St. to get a bird's eye view of Montpelier. We spent time finding landmarks in our city on the way. We could see UES looked from the top of the hill and also recognized the North Branch river, bridges and Kellogg-Hubbard library. Upon arriving in the park via steep and curvy hills, children enjoyed a story and song with Amy. Then students engaged in three centers that introduced them to mapping. Students learned how keys were useful in reading maps, discovered landmarks around the park, and did some creative drawing of maps to their debris shelters. What was your child's favorite center?
Many thanks to Berenice, Scott and Michael for their extra help on this blustery, Vermont spring day!
