kindergarten observation

While I was at Aldo in the kindergarten class I worked with male and female students at a station. Most of the students were Caucasian but two were African American and one was Native American. The station I was at, the students were able to relate to a book with a map in it and then make one of their own. They students often made a compass on their map and made the route from their house to the school. Many students were able to tell me which direction their map was going, either north, west, east, or south. One student that I particularly worked with made a map of the route from St. Norberts to Aldo Elementary. I was able to tell them which direction to go and he drew it on his piece of paper. He rarely had to look back on the other map to see the compass.
