So we got in map reading, directions, writing, math and decision-making skills all in one fell swoop! |
Oooh, I like that! How much of a time frame did you give them to complete all three attractions? Rose is working on map reading skills right now, so I think that would be a fun activity for her!
I had my girls complete journals when we got home. I found the pages on
www.themouseforless.com and they worked really well. Rose did one after the last trip, and it was fun to compare that one with this year's journal. I got a lot of complaints from Grace, as she doesn't enjoy writing very much, but we'll both appreciate her efforts in the future when we look back at her first-grade thoughts and handwriting!
