Making Maps of Needham

A special thanks to our PTC for bringing "The Map Lady" to third graders today!

Room 221 cartographers (map makers) followed directions carefully. They measured and drew in the boundaries of Needham. Did you know that The Charles River separates Needham from other towns in several places? The children also drew in lakes, brooks, and many hills. Do you know the name of the highest hill in Needham? Your third grader does! Remind them that it's the "four-ring hill."

Tomorrow we will add a title, compass rose, map key and map scale. Finally, we will label all of the hills, lakes and brooks.

We'll be hanging the children's creations outside the pod for all to see.
