Geography was great in fourth grade. Miss Fennell taught us what an isthmus is and how to put on mukluks. I love maps.
ReplyDeleteI do not collect maps or globes, and learning more about geography is a definite need. I just bought my son a large map, and he already has a very cool globe. He excels in this regard, and I'd like to spend time with him throughout the coming year, learning from him (via the globe and map).
ReplyDeleteAt this point its a sad state... When either of them question me on the topic, I need to look it up, or reply, "Ask your dad."
I like looking at antique maps. They take me farther.
