Communities Project - Pics

We just finished building our little communities for the first unit in concept 1 (Moving Beyond the Page curriculum). We are studying communities, and these lessons allowed us to study maps, map keys, 3D shapes (rectangular prism, cube) and community places and workers. I thought the maps turned out pretty good for a 6 year old and a 4 year old! My 6 year old boy did everything himself, except for me making the box for the map key. My 4 year old daughter drew everything and I helped a lot with the writing, although she wrote "Map Key" herself. Right now we are taking a little break while they play with the hotwheels cars driving around their communities. I think my son even got out some GI Joes and my daughter got out her Polly Pocket dolls to walk around. I heard them out there taking trips to each other's towns. LOL! Anyway, here are the pics!

Cass is 4 years old.

Josh is 6 years old.

My sister is working on communities with her son, Erik (turning 7 on the 30th) and Faith, 5. I will have to show her what you all have done. I just love the pictures.

By the way, I love the piano music playing. How did you do that?

My display name is "Katatonic". Why? Because my first name begins with "K", I like cats and the definition seems to fit me while preparing for a homeschool year. It will also most likely sum up this blog quite nicely. "cat·a·to·ni·a –noun A syndrome seen most frequently in schizophrenia, characterized by muscular rigidity and mental stupor, sometimes alternating with great excitement and confusion." Ah, yes. A perfect fit.
