Maps



We made a map of our neighborhood today, blocks on poster board. Yesterday we went for a walk and sketched our street; today we collaborated to create a 3-D map. Lovely lady with autism had a meltdown in the middle of the project. Lesson learned: Schedule group projects in the morning, and assign her a very specific task before we begin working. All in all, it was great fun. The ladies and gents traced around the blocks, so we've got a map of the street hanging on the wall.

Apparently there's a castle-parking garage at the end of our street that accommodates both knights and Hot Wheels. Yeah, that's what I tell everyone when I give directions, "Turn right when you get to the castle. You can't miss it. It's a great place to park your race car or your noble steed."
