Today I taught joy school. Our theme this week is maps. What I find so interesting is how hard it is to grasp the concept of where we live for children this age (and older for that matter). As we traveled to Utah the kids seemed so confused as to what a state and city is. They couldn't understand if Oregon meant our house, Grammie's house, or a different planet. So, I had the kids glue these maps to show the progression of size as we move from our home to our planet. Not sure if it made all that much sense but the conversation was pretty entertaining.
