Today, I challenged Danny right at the start with some assessments! He correctly identified landform and bodies of water in his booklet 12/12. He also provided the appropriate fill in the blank to identify the landform 4/4, therefore scoring a 16/16 on his demonstration of understanding. Additionally, we reviewed our maps and globes materials from yesterday (Florida Studies Weekly packet and maps vs. globes pictures). Danny took the follow up assessment and scored 7/7. Next, we went over the Florida Studies Weekly learning packet entitled "Which Way". This information taught us about the cardinal directions as well as the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. We were first introduced to this material last week. Danny labeled a compass rose. Danny then needed to write to words for each direction. He was presented with N, S, E, and W. He used the direction signs we hung in his room (with the letter of each direction highlighted yellow to help him locate) to find each word to write. We discussed that the Pacific Ocean is the largest and the Atlantic Ocean is located to the east of Florida and is the water that we swim in at the beach. Finally, we tackled a few pages in his Geography text. The first tasked him with identifying things we'd find on a globe (island, city, and country, etc.). For the second page, we discussed how maps can found in various forms. These include paper, books, or digitally such as on the computer, phones, or tablets. We looked at the map of our area on my smartphone. We located the school, my house, and looked at Danny's town of North Palm Beach, where we found the park, golf course, and waterways. We zoomed in to see things with more detail and zoomed out to see just the whole city. Danny then looked at pictures in his text to determine if it showed a globe or a map and from what source.
