Analise completed exercises in the Map Skills book provided by her school. She completed the exercise "Jamie's Puppy", using her newly acquired map skills to correctly figure out in which directions the puppy needed to go in order to chase a rabbit. In a subsequent activity, Analise used map skills and directional prompts to look for a variety of animals situated in different locations at a zoo that was illustrated in the workbook. Analise seemed to enjoy these exercises and was responsive to verbal reinforcement, exclaiming loudly and excitedly, "Let's keep learning!"- so enthusiastically that it drew that attention of her siblings working next door. We next moved onto a mapping exercise in which Analise demonstrated her knowledge of the purpose of a map key when given just the definition and identifying it before even beginning the assignment. She then wrote the correct cardinal direction in blanks provided when given directions and used the symbols provided in the key correctly. She remembered to capitalize each correctly independent of prompts. Analise was proud of her accomplishment and clearly enjoyed working on map skills. We will be moving on to learning how to use a compass rose and legend next week. As if on cue, the exquisite aroma of a delicious lunch that Ms. Judie had ordered for everyone wafted through the air, piquing Analise's appetite and curiosity, and summoning her to investigate its source. It was time for lunch!
