Mrs. Miller’s class has been busy exploring the world of natural resources and maps! Today, students learned about the many different types of maps—including some that show what’s inside buildings. They created their own map key and worked together in groups to create detailed maps of their classroom. Each group then presented their map to the class and answered questions from their classmates. What a fun and creative way to build geography skills and teamwork. #SchoolOfChampions #GoodThingsHappenHere
